1. An ambulatory infusion pump, comprising:
- a housing;
a delivery mechanism at least partially contained within the housing and adapted to facilitate delivery of fluid to a user;
a user interface adapted to receive user inputs;
a memory for storing operating parameters and data relating to operation of the delivery mechanism; and
a processor disposed in the housing and configured to process user inputs received at the user interface and to control the delivery mechanism based on the user inputs, the processor further configured to;
place the device in an operating mode;
control the delivery mechanism in response to user inputs received while in the operating mode;
detect pump parameter and data values when the user inputs are received; and
write the user inputs received and pump parameter and data values into the memory.

Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for training users of ambulatory medical devices. The methods relate to improving user interactions with the touchscreens of devices. In one embodiment there is an operating mode that records all user interactions along with various device parameters and allows the clinician to review the patient'"'"'s performance for the initial use period. Automated analysis software may be employed to analyze the data generated by the device. The results of the analysis may be used by the clinician to improve the patient and device interaction.

10. An ambulatory infusion pump comprising:
-
at least one control feature that receives a user input at a time during operation in an operating mode in which the pump performs actions in response to user inputs; and a processor that detects the received user input from the control feature at the time of the received user input while the pump operates in the operating mode, detects pump parameter values at the time of the received user input, and writes the received user input and the pump parameter values into memory of the pump. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
