GEOFENCING FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
First Claim
1. A medical therapy system for both approved and trial therapies, the medical therapy system comprising:
- an infusion pump having a case, the case containing a processor, memory, a drive mechanism, a reservoir, communication hardware and a sensor suite; and
the sensor suite including a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to determine GPS coordinates of the infusion pump, the GPS receiver being coupled to the processor that executes first instructions stored in the memory, the first instructions corresponding to an approved therapy, the processor executing second instructions stored in the memory when the location of the infusion pump is within a safe zone defined around specified GPS coordinates, the second instructions corresponding to a trial therapy.

Abstract
A medical therapy system for delivering at least two therapies based on a geographic location of the medical therapy system is disclosed. The medical therapy system includes an infusion pump having a case that contains a processor, memory, a drive mechanism, a reservoir, a radio, and a sensor suite. The sensor suite includes a global positioning system (GPS) receiver to determine a location of the infusion pump. The processor receives the location of the infusion pump and executes first instructions stored in the memory. The processor executes second instructions stored in the memory only when the location of the infusion pump is within a safe zone defined around specified GPS coordinates.

13. A medical therapy system for delivering at least two therapies based on a geographic location of the medical therapy system, the medical therapy system comprising:
-
an infusion pump having a case, the case containing a processor, memory, a drive mechanism, a reservoir, a radio and a sensor suite; and a controller for the infusion pump, the controller including a sensor suite including a global positioning system (GPS) receiver defined to determine a location of the controller, the controller further including a controller processor, controller memory and controller radio that enables bi-directional communication with the radio in the infusion pump, the GPS receiver being coupled to the controller processor to send instructions to the infusion pump to execute first instructions stored in the memory, the controller processor sending instructions to the infusion pump to execute second instructions stored in the memory when the location of the infusion pump and the controller is within a safe zone defined around specified GPS coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
