1. A portable and wearable infusion pump system comprising:
- a pump device including;
a pump housing including an interior wall that at least partially defines a space to slidably receive a pre-filled medicine cartridge, and a drive system to dispense a medicine from the pre-filled medicine cartridge through an infusion set cannula adapted to penetrate a user'"'"'s skin; and
an infusion pump controller including control circuitry that transmits control signals to the drive system of the pump device, and a user interface comprising a display device and one or more buttons; and
an illumination instrument electrically connected to the control circuitry of the infusion pump controller such that the illumination instrument emits an inspection light in direct response to actuating the one or more buttons of the infusion pump controller, wherein the illumination instrument is different from the display device of the user interface of the infusion pump controller.

Abstract
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may include an illumination instrument that provides the user with an opportunity to illuminate and inspect a targeted location. The illumination instrument can be useful in situations where the ambient lighting is insufficient for the user'"'"'s inspection needs (e.g., during the night, during presentation or movie in which the lighting is low, or the like). In some embodiments, illumination instrument can be employed to visually inspect one or more components of the pump system, the infusion set, or a combination thereof.
