Remote controls including a first button, a second button, transmission means, associated with the housing, for transmitting a signal to the ambulatory infusion device, and a controller associated with the housing and adapted to prevent signal transmission by the transmission means unless the second button has been actuated, to allow signal transmission by the transmission means in response to actuation of the second button, and to control the transmission means to transmit a signal in response to the first button being pressed concurrently with actuation of the second button or during a predetermined period after actuation of the second button.

Remote controls configured to prevent unintended signal transmission and ambulatory medical systems including the same

A method for assigning a remote control to an ambulatory medical device includes generating and transmitting user inputs from a remote control to an ambulatory medical device, and receiving and processing the user inputs to determine whether the user inputs represent a sequence authorizing an assignment of the remote control to the ambulatory medical device.

Method, apparatus and system for assigning remote control device to ambulatory medical device

Remote controls, including a communication device, a button or other communication device actuator and a movable structure that allows actuation of the actuator in one position and prevents actuation of the actuator in another position to prevent inadvertent signal transmission.

Remote controls and ambulatory medical systems including the same

A method of preventing inadvertent signal transmission sent from a remote control for controlling the operation of an implantable infusion device. The method includes maintaining the remote control in a locked state prior to a user intentionally unlocking the remote control in order to generate transmission of a signal from the remote control to the implantable infusion device. The unlocking of the remote control can include moving a button control element, unlocking a button lock, pressing a button other than the signal generation button, pressing the signal generation button in a specific sequence or shaking the remote control.
