1. A method of resetting an inflation device, the method comprising:
- receiving an inflation device in a disabled state, the inflation device comprising;
a body component;
a pressurization component configured to increase or decrease pressure within the body component by displacing the pressurization component with respect to the body component;
an actuator operably connected to the pressurization component and configured to displace the body component;
a pressure sensor in communication with the body component and configured to measure pressure within the body component;
a transmitter in communication with the pressure sensor and configured to transmit a wireless signal representative of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor; and
a computing device in communication with the transmitter, wherein the computing device comprises;
a processor; and
storage media having stored thereona first set of instructions for directing the transmitter to transmit a wireless signal representative of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the first set of instructions upon an initial startup of the inflation device in an operable state; and
a status indicator that is configured to transition from a first state to a second state after the first set of instructions is executed upon the initial startup, wherein upon subsequent startups, the inflation device is in the disabled state and the processor is unable to execute the first set of instructions;
wherein, when the inflation device is in the disabled state, the status indicator is in the second state and the inflation device is unable to transmit the wireless signal representative of the pressure, even if the transmitter is turned on; and
transitioning the inflation device from the disabled state to the operable state in which the processor of the inflation device is able to execute the first set of instructions upon startup and transmit the wireless signal representative of the pressure.

19. A method of refurbishing an inflation device, the method comprising:
-
receiving an inflation device that is in a disabled state due to use in a first medical procedure, the inflation device comprising; a body component comprising a cavity; a pressurization component configured to increase or decrease pressure within the cavity of the body component by displacing the pressurization component with respect to the body component; a pressure sensor in communication with the body component and configured to measure pressure within the cavity of the body component; and a transmitter in communication with the pressure sensor and configured to transmit a wireless signal representative of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor; and a computing device in communication with the transmitter, wherein the computing device comprises; a processor; and storage media having stored thereon instructions for directing the transmitter to transmit a wireless signal representative of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions upon an initial startup of the inflation device in an operable state; and a status indicator that has transitioned from a first state to a second state after the instructions are executed in the first medical procedure, wherein upon subsequent startups for subsequent medical procedures, the inflation device is in the disabled state and the processor is unable to execute the instructions; wherein the inflation device is unable to transmit the wireless signal representative of the pressure when in the disabled state, even if the transmitter is turned on; and transitioning the inflation device from the disabled state to the operable state in which the processor of the inflation device is able to execute the instructions upon startup and transmit the wireless signal representative of the pressure. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
