1. A method for remotely updating software on an ambulatory fluid delivery device comprising:
- from a central computing system, interrogating the ambulatory fluid delivery device and obtaining data comprising a device history log;
by the central computing system, verifying that the ambulatory fluid delivery device has not exhibited unusual performance and the ambulatory fluid delivery device is compatible with a software update including both verifying a memory capacity of the ambulatory fluid delivery device and confirming that a model of the ambulatory fluid delivery device is compatible with the software update, and verifying that a user of the ambulatory fluid delivery device wishes to update software on the ambulatory fluid delivery device;
sending the software update from the central computing system to the ambulatory fluid delivery device;
verifying that the ambulatory fluid delivery device is in a safe condition for the software update;
performing the software update on the ambulatory fluid delivery device; and
verifying that the ambulatory fluid delivery device in is a safe condition to perform as intended after the software update comprising the ability to update the device history log.
