Remote monitoring for networked fluid infusion systems
First Claim
1. A method for remote monitoring of an infusion system having an infusion pump that controls the infusion of fluid into the body of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a network device that is external to the infusion system, a network communication generated by a transmitting device within the infusion system, the network communication conveying pump data associated with the infusion pump;
extracting the pump data from the network communication; and
generating, at the network device, indicia of the pump data.

Abstract
A fluid infusion system as described herein includes a number of local “body network” devices, such as an infusion pump, a handheld monitor or controller, a physiological sensor, and a bedside or hospital monitor. The body network devices can be configured to support communication of status data, physiological information, alerts, control signals, and other information between one another. In addition, the body network devices can be configured to support networked communication of status data, physiological information, alerts, control signals, and other information between the body network devices and “external” devices, systems, or communication networks. Such external communication allows the infusion system to be extended beyond the traditional short-range user environment.

46. A network-based medical device system for a user, the system comprising:
-
a monitor device for a local medical device system, the monitor device comprising a communication module and a network interface coupled to the communication module, the communication module being configured to generate a network communication; and
a network device external to the local medical device system, the network device and the network interface being configured to enable transmission of the network communication from the monitor device to the network device via a network communication link. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81)
