1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising:
- a portable housing defining a space to receive a medicine;
a pump drive system to dispense medicine from the portable housing when the medicine is received in the space;
control circuitry that communicates control signals to the pump drive system to control dispensation of the medicine from the portable housing when the medicine is received in the space; and
a near field communication (NFC) circuit electrically connected with the control circuitry to communicate infusion pump task data to the control circuitry, wherein the NFC circuit is configured to wirelessly receive the infusion pump task data from a NFC communicator device when the NFC circuit and NFC communicator device are positioned with in a NFC proximity range.
