Abstract: In one implementation, a computer-implemented method of establishing a secure wireless communication connection between an insulin pump device and a mobile computing device includes receiving, at a mobile computing device, a device identifier for the insulin pump device; obtaining, by the mobile computing device, device information for the insulin pump device from a remote server system using the device identifier; establishing, by the mobile computing device, a secure wireless connection with the insulin pump device using, at least in part, the device information; authenticating, by the mobile computing device, the insulin pump device based on asymmetric key verification using the public key for the insulin pump; and securely communicating, by the mobile computing device and in response to authenticating the insulin pump device, information with the insulin pump device.

Abstract: Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be used to determine a user's total insulin load (TIL) that provides an accurate indication of the insulin previously delivered to the user's body which has not yet acted. In particular embodiments, the TIL can account for both the bolus deliveries and the basal deliveries that have occurred over a period of time. Such information may be useful, for example, when the infusion pump is operated in conjunction with a continuous glucose monitoring device.

Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump system include a controller device that is configured to removably attach to a pump device in a manner that provides a secure fitting, an overall compact size, and a reliable electrical connection.

Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump system may be configured to provide a desired level of resistance to liquid ingress to the pump casing while contemporaneously providing air transmissibility for equalization of air pressure differentials between the interior and exterior of the pump casing. Further, some embodiments can detect when moisture inside a casing of the infusion pump system is greater than or equal to a threshold level and can initiate one or more patient safety countermeasures.

Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump system include a pump device with a drive system that is configured to attach with a medicine cartridge in manner that reduces the likelihood of dosage inaccuracies. In one example, the drive system of the pump device can be equipped with a plunger engagement device that is configured to mechanically anchor into a plunger of the medicine cartridge, and then to bias the plunger of the medicine cartridge in a direction toward a piston rod of the drive system.

Abstract: Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be configured to activate an alarm in response to a calculated prediction of the user's future blood glucose levels. Optionally, the predictive calculation of the user's future blood glucose levels can be based at least in part upon a recent blood glucose level, a trend of blood glucose levels over time, and an insulin load of the user.

Abstract: Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be configured to control dispensation of medicine according to a closed-loop delivery mode that is responsive to feedback information provided from a monitoring device, and the infusion pump system permits a user to interrupt the closed-loop delivery mode for purposes of dispensing a user-selected manual bolus dosage.

Abstract: Some embodiments of a medical infusion pump system include a pump device having a cap device that mates with a pump housing to retain a medicine cartridge therein. In addition to retaining the medicine cartridge in the pump housing, the cap device may perform a number of preparatory functions or safety functions. In addition or in the alternative, some embodiments of the pump device may include a drive system that advances a piston rod to dispense medicine to the patient in a safe and energy efficient manner.

Abstract: Some embodiments an infusion pump system can be configured to modify alarm limit parameters as the user's insulin load increases or decreases. Moreover, in particular embodiments, the infusion pump system can be configured to provide a “missed bolus” or “missed meal” alarm in response to the user's blood glucose characteristics, the user's insulin load information, or the like.

Abstract: A computer-based method includes receiving, from a computer-based user interface, user-specified information about one or more events influential on the user's blood glucose level, generating, with a computer-based processor, a plurality of estimated trajectories of the user's blood glucose level as influenced by the one or more events, receiving a set of data that represents actual blood glucose measurements for the user, and identifying, with the computer-based processor, which of the estimated trajectories represents a best fit to the set of data that represents the actual blood glucose measurements for the user. At least some of the actual blood glucose measurements occurred later in time than a start time of the one or more events influential on the user's blood glucose level. A computer-based system is provided for implementing the method.

Abstract: Some embodiments of an infusion pump device may include a drive system that accurately and incrementally dispenses fluid from the pump device in a controlled manner. Particular embodiments of the drive system may include a rotational motor that is coupled to a string member, which is used to adjust a pawl relative to a ratchet body.
