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. A method of operating an insulin infusion pump system, comprising:
-
activating an occlusion detection system to detect a fluid condition in a flow path extending from an insulin reservoir in a portable insulin pump apparatus to a user, the portable insulin pump apparatus including a pump drive system to dispense insulin through the flow path to the user; activating the pump drive system to deliver a first incremental dosage of insulin; in response to a first signal from the occlusion detection system indicating an occlusion in the flow path, increasing a counter value stored in a memory device of the portable insulin pump apparatus while foregoing output of an occlusion alarm; activating the pump drive system to deliver one or more subsequent incremental dosages of insulin; and in response to a predetermined quantity of consecutive signals from the occlusion detection system indicating the occlusion in the flow path, outputting the occlusion alarm from portable insulin pump apparatus to the user. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
