First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by software executable instructions on a hardware processor for remotely updating software on a control device configured to effect operation of an ambulatory infusion pump, comprising:
- at a central computing system, obtaining data relating to operation of the ambulatory infusion pump;
by the central computing system, verifying compatibility of the control device with a software update including verifying that a device model of the control device is compatible with the software update;
verifying that a user wishes to proceed with the software update;
receiving, at the central computer system, a password required for execution of the software update; and
verifying, by the central computer system, the received password;
transmitting the software update from the central computing system to the control device;
receiving confirmation at the central computing system that the software update has occurred; and
verifying that a safe condition exists for operation of the ambulatory infusion pump by the control device after the software update.
