Integration of infusion pump with remote electronic device
First Claim
1. A method of delivering a medicament bolus with a medical infusion pump, comprising:
- determining a medicament bolus delivery for a medical infusion pump with a software application operating on a remote consumer electronic device;
transmitting an operating command for delivery of the bolus from the remote consumer electronic device to the medical infusion pump via the software application operating on the remote consumer electronic device;
causing an indication of the bolus to issue from the medical infusion pump, the indication of the bolus comprising a series of increment indications including at least one of an auditory indication or a vibratory indication, the series of increment indications representing a size of the bolus with each auditory or vibratory indication corresponding to a predetermined increment; and
causing the medical infusion pump to deliver the bolus to a patient.

Abstract
A system and method can provide for a remote electronic device to be used to remotely initiate delivery of a medicament bolus with a medical device, such as an insulin pump, with the medical device providing audible or tactile confirmation of the programmed bolus. The bolus amount can be calculated by or programmed or otherwise entered into the smartphone, etc., and then transmitted to the medical device. When the pump receives the transmitted bolus amount, it issues one or more indications such as audible sounds and/or vibrations in any number of desired combinations. For instance, each individual sound or vibration may correspond to an increment of the medicament. The user can therefore determine the size of the medicament bolus by the number of sounds or vibrations and can confirm or cancel delivery of the bolus.
