Abstract
An infusion pump includes a housing, a pumping mechanism, an accelerometer configured to detect at least one of pump motion and pump angular orientation, and a temperature control unit. The temperature control unit is configured to receive accelerometer data and determine a pump configuration based on the accelerometer data. The pump configuration may include a contact configuration or a non-contact configuration. The temperature control unit is also configured to establish a threshold housing temperature based on the determined pump configuration. Additionally, the temperature control unit is configured to modify at least one pump feature or function to maintain the housing below the threshold housing temperature.
