Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus comprising a pump configured to deliver a fluid from a cartridge, a display a temperature sensor and a controller. The controller is configured to compare a temperature within the cartridge as measured by the temperature sensor to a threshold temperature and cause the display to display a message relating to temperature when the measured temperature goes beyond the threshold temperature.

27. An ambulatory infusion pump system, comprising:
-
a pump; a cartridge adapted to contain a fluid, where the pump is configured to receive the cartridge and cooperate with the cartridge to deliver fluid from the cartridge to a patient; a display; a temperature sensor adapted to determine a temperature within the cartridge when the cartridge is coupled to the pump; and a controller communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and the display, the controller adapted to compare the temperature to a threshold temperature and cause the display to display a message relating to the temperature when the temperature goes beyond the threshold temperature. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 38)

33. An ambulatory infusion pump system comprising:
-
a pump configured to deliver a fluid; a detection circuit configured to detect when a cartridge containing the fluid is coupled to the pump; a temperature sensor that produces an electrical signal representative of temperature; a display; and a controller communicatively coupled to the pump, the detection circuit, and the temperature sensor, wherein the controller includes a comparison module configured to detect that the temperature is beyond a first threshold temperature while the cartridge is coupled to the pump, and wherein the controller is configured to display an alarm when the temperature is beyond the first threshold temperature. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40)

41. A method comprising:
-
providing an ambulatory infusion pump system, the system including a pump, a cartridge adapted to contain a fluid, where the pump is configured to receive the cartridge and cooperate with the cartridge to deliver fluid from the cartridge to a patient, a display, a temperature sensor adapted to determine a temperature within the cartridge when the cartridge is coupled to the pump and a controller communicatively coupled to the temperature sensor and the display; determining with the controller that a cartridge of a fluid has been coupled to a pump; automatically monitoring a temperature of the cartridge while the cartridge is coupled to the pump device with the temperature sensor; comparing the temperature to a threshold temperature with the controller; and upon the controller determining that the temperature is beyond the threshold temperature, displaying a message on the display relating to the temperature on a user interface. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44)
