System with a portable patient device and external operating part
First Claim
1. A patient system comprising a first patient device having a unitary first housing which is portable on the body of a patient and a second patient device having a second housing device arranged remotely from the first patient device, each patient device having a communication device for data transmission via a transmission link, the first patient device having a first user interface for the first patient device and a data-processor for communication with the first user interface for the first patient device, and the second patient device being configured such that a second user interface for the second patient device represents the first user interface, wherein the data-processor generates pixel address data that represents information on a display unit of the first user interface, and wherein the communication device of the first patient device transmits these data to the communication device of the second patient device to represent the information on a display unit of the second user interface;
- wherein the first patient device is a medicinal substance pump with the first user interface disposed in the unitary first housing and the data-processor disposed fully into the unitary first housing; and
the second user interface is disposed in the second housing;
wherein the patient system can be operated in a push mode, a request mode, and by the patient via operating buttons of the first patient device, wherein the push mode comprises correspondence of the data from the first patient device to the second patient device automatically, the request mode comprises periodic requests from the second device to the first device, and wherein the operating buttons are configured so the patient can confirm information by pressing the operating buttons.
