COORDINATION OF CONTROL COMMANDS IN A MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM BASED ON SYNCHRONIZATION STATUS BETWEEN DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of coordinating control commands in a medical device system comprising a medical device that delivers therapy to a patient, and a wireless controller device for the medical device, the method comprising:
- obtaining a user input at the wireless controller device, the user input corresponding to a request to initiate a command that influences therapy delivered by the medical device;
in response to the user input, checking a synchronization status between the wireless controller device and the medical device; and
transmitting, to the medical device, a control message for the command only when the checking step confirms that the wireless controller device is synchronized with the medical device.

Abstract
A medical device system includes at least one controllable patient-worn or patient-carried medical device, and a plurality of controller devices that are capable of independently controlling features or functions of the patient medical device. Control commands and other data is wirelessly communicated among the patient medical device and the multiple controller devices. A number of techniques, protocols, and other measures are provided to coordinate wireless communication between the various devices in a medical device system. These control command coordination processes address situations where conflicting, redundant, or concurrent control commands might be independently issued by the multiple controller devices.
