  • Publication number: 20230248905
    Abstract: A method for remotely activating an infusion pump includes receiving, from a user device, an activation request for the infusion pump, generating a first unique identifier responsive to receiving the request, the first unique identifier including at least one of a graphical symbol or an alphanumeric character, transmitting, to the infusion pump, an indication of the first unique identifier to cause the infusion pump to present a representation of the first unique identifier, receiving, from the user device, a user input indicating an input identifier, validating the user input by comparing the input identifier to the first unique identifier, wherein the second user input is validated responsive to a match between the input identifier and the first unique identifier, and activating the infusion pump responsive to the validation of the user input.
