SECURE COMMUNICATION BY USER SELECTABLE COMMUNICATION RANGE
First Claim
1. An infusion system to administer fluid, the infusion system comprising:
- an infusion pump having a pump processor, a pump memory and a pump radio to enable bi-directional communication, the pump radio further including an attenuator being configurable and the pump memory storing a plurality of security modes, each of the plurality of security modes configuring the attenuator to receive signals of a predetermined strength, anda controller having a controller processor, a controller memory, a controller radio to transmit and receive communication from the pump radio, the controller further having a graphical user interface shown on a display, and controls to manipulate the graphical user interface, the controller being paired with the infusion pump based on pairing data,wherein a security check is performed when the infusion pump receives a suspect signal, the suspect signal not matching the predetermined strength associated with a selected security mode.

Abstract
An infusion system to administer fluid is disclosed. The infusion system to administer fluid includes an infusion pump having a pump processor, a pump memory and a pump radio to enable bi-directional communication. The pump radio further includes a configurable attenuator and the pump memory stores a plurality of security modes that configure the attenuator to receive signals of a predetermined strength. The infusion system further includes a controller with a controller processor, a controller memory, and a controller radio to transmit and receive communication from the pump radio. The controller further having a graphical user interface shown on a display, and controls to manipulate the graphical user interface. The controller further being paired with the infusion pump based on pairing data, wherein a security check is performed when the infusion pump receives a suspect signal, the suspect signal not matching the predetermined strength associated with a selected security mode.

11. A method to secure wireless transmissions between an infusion device and a controller, the method comprising:
-
pairing the infusion device and the controller with a default security setting; prompting the setting of a security mode for on-going communication between the infusion device and the controller; initiating normal communication between the infusion device and the controller, and initiating a security check if a suspect signal is detected, a suspect signal being a signal that does not match signal strength anticipated by the security mode. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
