A method for controlling operation of a medical device in a medical system having a medical device, a communication device including a remote control for the medical device, and a safety device adapted for data communication with the communication device. Input data is provided and processed by a first calculation to thereby provide a first calculation result. The input data is processed by a second calculation executed separately from first calculation to thereby provide a second calculation result. The first and second calculation results are compared. When the first and second calculation results are found equal, remote control of the medical device by a medical device application running on the communication device is allowed. When the first and second calculation results are found not equal, the medical device application running on the communication device for remote control of the medical device is prevented.

Method for controlling operation of a medical device in a medical system and medical system

Disclosed is a method for controlling user access to a medical system including a body-wearable medical device that can be, e.g., an insulin pump and/or a continuous glucose monitor. A remote controller is provided and has a user interface and can exchange data with the medical device. The remote controller is configured for entering, via the user interface, at least one command for execution by the medical device. The remote controller has a locked state in which entering medical device commands or other commands is disabled. In the locked state, the user is prompted to enter an identification code and the remote controller can be unlocked when the correct identification code is entered. In the unlocked state, entering of the medical device command is enabled. Alternatively, instead of entering a correct identification code, the remote controller can be switched to the unlocked state when a safety condition is met.
