An infusion system for infusing a liquid into a body includes an external infusion device and a remote commander. The external infusion device includes a housing, a receiver, a processor and an indication device. The receiver is coupled to the housing and for receiving remotely generated commands. The processor is coupled to the housing and the receiver to receive remotely generated commands and to control the external infusion device in accordance with the commands. The indication device indicates when a command has been received and indicates when the command is being utilized to control the external infusion device so that the external infusion device is capable of being concealed from view when being remotely commanded. The remote commander includes a commander housing, a keypad for transmitting commands, and a transmitter for transmitting commands to the receiver of the external infusion device.

An energy source isolation and protection circuit is provided for an electronic device, such as a patient-worn or patient-carried medical device. The isolation and protection circuit includes a supply voltage rail, a reference voltage rail, an electrical load coupled across the supply voltage rail and the reference voltage rail, and an energy source for supplying a voltage to the electrical load via the supply voltage rail and the reference voltage rail. The isolation and protection circuit also includes a voltage-controlled switch architecture that is configured to detach and electrically isolate the energy source from the electrical load (and from itself) in response to the voltage of the energy source falling below a threshold voltage. The voltage-controlled switch architecture is also designed to maintain the energy source in the detached and electrically isolated state in the absence of operating voltage provided by the energy source to the voltage-controlled switch architecture.
