Abstract

An infusion pump system is disclosed. The system includes at least one infusion pump, a companion device, the companion device in wireless communication with the infusion pump, and a user interface on the companion device, the user interface adapted to receive textual input.

Claims

1. An infusion pump system comprising:

at least one infusion pump;

a companion device, the companion device in wireless communication with the at least one infusion pump; and

a user interface on the companion device, the user interface comprising a touch screen display, the touch screen display adapted to display a plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs, wherein the touch screen display is configured to receive a plurality of user selections of the user-selectable, single-character inputs,

wherein the user interface further comprising a home screen comprising visual indication of a gauge to the action of the insulin currently in the user and last bolus delivered, the last bolus delivered comprising the time elapsed since delivery completed and the amount delivered.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the received plurality of user selections of the user-selectable, single-character inputs comprises a customized name for at least one basal profile.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the received plurality of user selections of the user-selectable, single-character inputs comprises at least one customized comment.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the received plurality of user selections of the user-selectable, single-character inputs comprises at least one customized event.

5. The system of claim 1 wherein the user interface further comprises a pairing mode for pairing the companion device with the at least one infusion pump, the pairing mode enables wireless communication between the at least one infusion pump and the companion device, wherein the user interface requires both the at least one infusion pump and the companion device to be in the pairing mode simultaneously.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the at least one infusion pump comprising a display.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the user interface includes at least one alarm setting for the at least one infusion pump and the companion device, the at least one alarm setting may be selected using the user interface and wherein the at least one alarm setting for the at least one infusion pump and the companion device may be different.

8. The system of claim 1 further comprising a second user interface residing on the at least one infusion pump.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the user interface user interface comprising visual indication of a bolus delivery in progress comprising an amount delivered and a total amount requested.

10. The system of claim 9 further comprising wherein when the bolus delivery is stopped, the user interface further comprising a visual indication of delivery stopped comprising indication of the amount delivered and the total amount requested.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs includes at least one single-letter input.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs includes at least one single-numeric input.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs includes at least one single-punctuation-mark input.

14. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs defines at least one of a bolus comment, an exercise comment, an illness comment, and a stress comment.

15. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs defines an analyte value.

16. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs defines a blood glucose reading.

17. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs defines a glucose monitor value.

18. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs defines a customized name.

19. The system according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of user-selectable, single-character inputs corresponds to preprogrammed basal rates that correspond to a specific exercise.
