Abstract

A medical remote controller device is disclosed. The device includes a display and at least one input switch dedicated to bolus delivery wherein a bolus delivery is programmed when the input switch receives an input and wherein the number of inputs received by the input switch determines the amount of bolus to be delivered.

Claims

1. A medical remote controller device comprising:

a display;

at least one input switch dedicated to bolus delivery wherein a bolus delivery is programmed when the input switch receives an input and wherein the number of inputs received by the input switch determines the amount of bolus to be delivered; and

a receiver for at least one continuous analyte sensor, wherein the medical remote controller receiver receives signals transmitted from the at least one continuous analyte sensor,

wherein the medical remote controller receives input from at least one temperature sensor, and

wherein when the at least one temperature sensor indicates a temperature change above a predetermined threshold, the display indicates a warning.

2. The medical remote controller device of claim 1 further comprising wherein the display visually indicates the amount of bolus to be delivered.

3. The medical remote controller device of claim 1 further comprising wherein each input received by the input switch indicates a preprogrammed amount of bolus to be delivered.

4. The medical remote controller device of claim 1 further comprising a glucose strip reader.

5. The medical remote controller device of claim 1 further comprising a jog wheel.

6. An infusion pump system comprising:

at least one infusion pump comprising at least one temperature sensor;

a companion device, the companion device in wireless communication with the infusion pump, wherein the companion device comprising;

a receiver for at least one continuous glucose sensor, the receiver receives signals transmitted from the at least one continuous glucose sensor; and

at least one input switch dedicated to bolus delivery wherein a bolus delivery is programmed when the input switch receives an input and wherein the number of inputs received by the input switch determines the amount of bolus to be delivered; and

a user interface on the companion device and the at least one infusion pump, the user interface being substantially identical on both the companion device and the infusion pump,

wherein the companion device receives input from the at least one temperature sensor, and wherein when the at least one temperature sensor indicates a temperature change above a predetermined threshold, the user interface indicates a warning.

7. The system of claim 6 further comprising wherein each user interface is adapted to receive user input related to volume of insulin delivery.

8. The system of claim 7 further comprising wherein the user input related to volume of insulin delivery is used to calculate the insulin on board.

9. The system of claim 6 wherein the companion device further comprising a glucose strip reader.

10. The system of claim 9 wherein test results from the glucose strip reader are visible using the user interface.

11. The system of claim 10 further comprising wherein the test results are visible in a line graph format using the user interface.

12. The system of claim 10 further comprising wherein the test results being the most recent in time may be visible on a home screen of the user interface.

13. An infusion pump system comprising:

at least one infusion pump comprising at least one temperature sensor;

a companion device, the companion device in wireless communication with the infusion pump, wherein the companion device comprising;

a receiver for at least one continuous glucose sensor, the receiver receives signals transmitted from the at least one continuous glucose sensor; and

at least one input switch dedicated to bolus delivery wherein a bolus delivery is programmed when the input switch receives an input and wherein the number of inputs received by the input switch determines the amount of bolus to be delivered;

a first user interface on the companion device; and

a second user interface on the at least one infusion pump,

wherein the first user interface being substantially identical to the second user interface, and

wherein the companion device receives input from the at least one temperature sensor, and wherein when the at least one temperature sensor indicates a temperature change above a predetermined threshold, the first user interface and the second user interface indicate a warning.

14. The system of claim 13 further comprising wherein the first user interface and the second user interface are adapted to receive user input related to volume of insulin delivery.

15. The system of claim 14 further comprising wherein the user input related to volume of insulin delivery is used to calculate the insulin on board.

16. The system of claim 13 wherein the companion device further comprising a glucose strip reader.

17. The system of claim 16 wherein test results from the glucose strip reader are visible using the first user interface.

18. The system of claim 17 further comprising wherein the test results are visible in a line graph format using the first user interface.

19. The system of claim 17 further comprising wherein the test results being the most recent in time is visible on a home screen of the second user interface.
