Some embodiments of an infusion pump assembly may be equipped with one or more components to facilitate wireless operation of an infusion pump via a user-operated mobile device. In some embodiments, the mobile device and/or the infusion pump may prompt the user to confirm acceptance of a wirelessly communicated command to prevent an operation by the infusion pump (e.g., a dispensation of medicine) that is not desired by the user.

Infusion pump assembly and method

Some embodiments of a portable medical device, such as an infusion pump, can receive an external reference signal (e.g., a radio, cellular and/or satellite signal) to provide an automatic time-setting and maintenance operation. In these circumstances, the medical device can maintain accurate time and date information even in the event of a power interruption, a time-zone change and/or an internal clock error, for example. In this manner, the portable medical device provides safe operation and added convenience to the user.

Operating a portable medical device

A system for delivering fluid to a user transcutaneously includes a torsion spring, a drive wheel, a linear slide having a stylet attached thereto, and a cannula. The torsion spring, when actuated, is configured to rotate the drive wheel to cause the linear slide to move axially to drive the stylet and cannula into a user-s skin.

Linear insertion device with rotational drive

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can be used to determine a user's total insulin load (TIL) that provides an accurate indication of the insulin previously delivered to the user's body which has not yet acted. In particular embodiments, the TIL can account for both the bolus deliveries and the basal deliveries that have occurred over a period of time. Such information may be useful, for example, when the infusion pump is operated in conjunction with a continuous glucose monitoring device.

Infusion pump systems and methods

Embodiments of devices and methods to maintain preservative concentration in a medication delivered using a medical device are provided. A barrier layer can be used to prevent migration of preservatives. A vent can be used to allow release of preservatives prior to delivery to the patient. An absorbent element can be used to maintain preservative concentration at a desired level. A filter can be used to capture particulates from the medication prior to delivery to a patient.

Insulin infusion set

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to wirelessly communicate with other devices using near field communication (NFC). In particular embodiments, by incorporating near field communication capabilities into the infusion pump system, user communications with the infusion pump system can be enhanced and simplified.

Infusion pump system and method

A system for delivering fluid to a user transcutaneously includes a subcutaneous infusion cannula base assembly, a cannula inserter assembly and a fluid connection assembly. The subcutaneous infusion cannula base assembly is configured to be located on the user's skin. The cannula inserter assembly is coupled to the cannula base assembly and is configured to drive an infusion cannula through the user's skin in a nominally helical trajectory. The fluid connection assembly is configured to fluidically connect the cannula base assembly to a source of delivery fluid. Cannula and stylet assemblies configured for helical or non-helical insertion are also disclosed.

System for delivering fluid to a user transcutaneously

Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be configured to modify alarm limit parameters as the user's insulin load increases or decreases. Moreover, in particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be configured to provide a 'missed bolus' or “missed meal” alarm in response to the user's blood glucose characteristics, the user's insulin load information, or the like.

Infusion pump system and methods

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can be configured to control dispensation of medicine according to a closed-loop delivery mode that is responsive to feedback information provided from a monitoring device, and the infusion pump system permits a user to interrupt the closed-loop delivery mode for purposes of dispensing a user-selected manual bolus dosage.

Operating an infusion pump system

Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to allow the user to communicate with the infusion pump system using voice or image input. Optionally, particular embodiments can interpret the voice or image input using speech or image recognition capabilities. By incorporating speech or image recognition equipment within the infusion pump system, user interactions with the pump system can be enhanced and simplified.

Some embodiments described herein provide for a number of portable infusion pumps to be distributed to a pump user via a pharmacy system or like.
