Abstract
Some embodiments of a portable infusion pump system can be configured to can be configured to adjust the sensitivity of particular detectors or alert systems based at least in part) on information received from a monitoring device. For example, a glucose monitoring device can communication with an infusion pump assembly used to supply insulin or another medication to a user. In such circumstances, the data received from the monitoring device can be used to adjust the sensitivity of an occlusion detection system.

2. An insulin infusion pump system, comprising:
-
a portable pump housing that defines an internal space to receive an insulin medicine for dispensation to a user; control circuitry configured to operate an occlusion detection system to detect a fluid condition in a flow path extending from the insulin medicine in the internal space to a user, the occlusion detection system having an adjustable sensitivity, wherein the control circuitry is configured to output an occlusion alarm to the user when an occlusion is detected in the flow path; and a monitoring device configured to communicate glucose information to the control circuitry, the glucose information being indicative of a blood glucose level of the user, wherein the sensitivity of the occlusion detection system is adjusted in response to the glucose information received by the control circuitry from the monitoring device. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A method of using an insulin infusion pump system, comprising:
-
activating an infusion pump controller to electrically communicate with a pump drive system positioned in a portable pump housing so that the pump drive system dispenses insulin from an insulin reservoir arranged in an internal space of the portable pump housing through a flow path to a user; activating a glucose monitoring device to wirelessly communicate glucose information to the infusion pump controller, the glucose information being indicative of a blood glucose level of the user, wherein the infusion pump controller operates an occlusion detection system that detects a fluid condition in the flow path, the occlusion detection system having an adjustable sensitivity, wherein the sensitivity of the occlusion detection system is adjusted in response to the glucose information received by the infusion pump controller from the glucose monitoring device; and responding to an occlusion alarm output from the infusion pump controller when an occlusion is detected in the flow path.
