  • Publication number: 20240123140
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed wherein temperature in a device such as an ambulatory infusion pump is monitored during inductive charging of the device such that temperature-sensitive contents or components, such as, for example, insulin, particular circuitry and/or other components are not damaged. Temperature can be monitored in the device at one or more locations during inductive charging. If the temperature breaches one or more predetermined thresholds and/or is rising at a rate greater than one or more predetermined thresholds, charging can be suspended or provided at reduced power to prevent the temperature from further rising and damaging the contents and/or components of the device. One or more alerts associated with these events may also be triggered so that the user is aware of the situation and may take corrective action.

  • Patent number: 11305057
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure enable a user-wearable infusion pump that may have a limited user interface including no display to execute and provide feedback on a number of functions. A remote control device having a display can be used to control the infusion pump. The infusion pump can include one or more indicator lights that can be indicate different statuses with different light patterns. The remote control device can include a display screen that provides further information relating to various pump statuses.

  • Publication number: 20200372995
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for establishing communication protocols between wireless devices in infusion pump systems. Infusion pump systems can include a number of components capable of wireless communication with one or more other components including an infusion pump, a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, a smartphone or other remote consumer electronic device and/or a dedicated remote controller for the infusion pump. The present disclosure provides various methods for simplifying connections among these devices.

  • Patent number: 10653828
    Abstract: A portable medical device includes an interface for accepting a power supply and enabling data transfer while still connected to a human body. The interface may include a universal serial bus interface and may be coupled to a data isolation chip and a power isolation chip. A power controlling processor may determine how the supplied power, e.g., voltage, is supplied to other components within the infusion device. Additional circuitry within the system may provide a secure power transfer within the device to ensure user safety and ensure that a high frequency noise is properly attenuated.
