Inflation devices with proximity pairing and methods and systems related thereto

A method for wirelessly coupling a remote display device to a medical device, the method comprising:

• capturing an image stream with a camera associated with the remote display device;
• displaying the image stream on the remote display device;
• overlaying an alignment frame on the image stream for alignment of the remote display device with to the medical device for pairing, wherein for alignment a user positions the camera such that images of a visual indicator on the medical device are within the alignment frame on the remote display device;
• measuring a signal from the medical device with the remote display device to determine a signal strength;
• and
• pairing the remote display device with the medical device when the signal strength exceeds a threshold signal strength, wherein alignment of the visual indicator within the alignment frame causes the medical device to be positioned such that the threshold signal strength is exceeded.

An inflation device configured for use with a medical device, the inflation device comprising:

• a body component configured to house a bone cement;
• a pressurization component configured to increase or decrease pressure within the body component by displacing the pressurization component with respect to the body component;
• an actuator operably connected to the pressurization component and configured to displace the body component;
• a pressure sensor in communication with the body component and configured to measure pressure within the body component;
• a temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the bone cement in the body component;
• a volume sensor that tracks displacement of the pressurization component to determine an amount of bone cement displaced by the pressurization component;
• and
• a transmitter in communication with the pressure sensor, the temperature sensor, and the volume sensor, the transmitter configured to transmit a wireless signal representative of the pressure measured by the pressure sensor, the temperature measured by the temperature sensor, and the amount of bone cement displaced measured by the volume sensor to a remote display device that is configured to determine a life window of the bone cement based on the transmitted pressure, temperature, and amount of bone cement displaced.
