User profile backup system for an infusion pump device
First Claim
1. A method of programming a infusion pump system, the method comprising:
- removably attaching a first reusable controller device to a disposable pump device, the first controller device housing a first memory device comprising user profile information, the pump device housing medicine and a drive system to dispense the medicine from the pump device in response to electrical control signals output from the first reusable controller device directly to the pump device, the pump device housing a pump memory device, wherein the first reusable controller device transmits the user profile information from the first memory device housed inside the controller device to the pump memory device housed inside the pump device;
detaching the pump device from the first reusable controller device; and
after said detaching the pump device from the first reusable controller device, removably attaching the pump device to a second reusable controller device, wherein a second memory device housed within the second controller device receives and stores the user profile information from the pump memory device housed within the pump device.

Abstract
Some embodiments of an infusion pump system can include a controller device that communicates with a pump device, the pump device having a memory device. The controller device can be configured to record controller-related data, such as user profile data on the memory device of the pump device. This user profile data that is stored in the memory of the pump device can serves as a data backup system that permits the user to program a new controller device in a situation where the original controller device is lost or damaged. In addition or in the alternative, the controller device can be configured to receive controller-related data, such as software update programs or backup controller data, from the memory device of the pump device.
