Patent number: 8521558Abstract: A communication station is for use with a medical device (such as an infusion pump) and a processing device (such as a computer). The communication station includes a housing, a medical device interface coupled to the housing, a processing device interface coupled to the housing and a processor coupled to the housing. The device interface interfaces with the medical device, and the processing device interface interfaces with the processing device. The processor provides a communication path between the medical device and the processing device such that programming and instructions may be communicated from the processing device to the medical device and data may be transferred from the medical device to the processing device. The communication station may be combined with a system that is capable of generating reports either locally or remotely. In addition, the medical device interface may be a cradle that is configurable to attach to different shaped medical devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: Luis J. Malave, Mark C. Estes, Jay Yonemoto, J. Jeffrey Barlow, Todd M. Gross, John Shin, Paul S. Cheney, II, Mike Dobbles, Clifford W. Hague, Deborah Ruppert, Kevin C. Wells
