Controller device for an infusion pump
First Claim
1. A controller device adapted to be carried by a user, comprising:
- a controller device display;
a controller device transmitter adapted to transmit a first communication to an infusion device;
a controller device receiver adapted to receive a second communication from the infusion device;
a receptacle adapted to receive therein a test strip for testing a first analyte from the user to determine a concentration of the first analyte in the user; and
an illuminator disposed proximate said receptacle and configured to illuminate at least one of the receptacle and the test strip.

Abstract
An infusion system that includes a controller device and a communication system to provide for two-way communication between the controller device and an infusion device that controls delivery of fluids to a user'"'"'s body. Either the controller device or the infusion device may be integrated with a characteristic determining device in a single housing. The housing, in turn, may include a test-strip receptacle and an illuminator disposed so as to illuminate an area covering the receptacle and a test-strip inserted therein. The illuminator may be configured to be activated automatically when a test strip is inserted into the receptacle, selectively by the user via a button, key, or similar mechanism, and/or when the ambient light level, measured, e.g., with a light sensor, falls below a predetermined intensity. The illuminator may be a LED emitting white light, and may provide illumination at various levels of intensity.
