First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of using a portable and wearable infusion pump system to illuminate a targeted site, the method comprising:
- inserting a pre-filled medicine cartridge into the wearable infusion pump system so that the pre-filled cartridge slidably engages an interior wall defining a space to receive the medicine cartridge;
activating an illumination instrument housed in an infusion pump controller component to emit light from the illumination instrument in response to actuating one or more buttons of a user interface of the infusion pump controller component, wherein the illumination instrument is different from a display device of the user interface of the infusion pump controller component;
directing the light from the illumination instrument toward the targeted site on a pump component that is configured to dispense medicine in response to control signals from the infusion pump controller component, wherein the illumination instrument housed in an infusion pump controller component is movable relative to the pump component while directing the light from the illumination instrument toward the targeted site.

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.

11. A method of using a portable and wearable infusion pump system to illuminate a targeted site, the method comprising:
-
inserting a pre-filled medicine cartridge into the wearable infusion pump system so that the pre-filled cartridge slidably engages an interior wall defining a space to receive the medicine cartridge; activating an illumination instrument housed in an infusion pump controller component to emit light from the illumination instrument in direct response to actuating one or more buttons of a user interface of the infusion pump controller component, wherein the illumination instrument is different from a display device of the user interface of the infusion pump controller component; directing the light from the illumination instrument toward the targeted site on or near a pump component, the pump component being configured to dispense medicine via an infusion set cannula in response to control signals from the infusion pump controller component, wherein the illumination instrument housed in an infusion pump controller component is movable relative to the pump component while directing the light from the illumination instrument toward the targeted site. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
