Abstract
Some embodiments of an infusion pump assembly may be equipped with one or more components to facilitate wireless operation of an infusion pump via a user-operated mobile device. In some embodiments, the mobile device and/or the infusion pump may prompt the user to confirm acceptance of a wirelessly communicated command to prevent an operation by the infusion pump (e.g., a dispensation of medicine) that is not desired by the user.

1-20. (canceled)
A method of operating a portable infusion pump system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller of the portable infusion pump system, a wireless communication from a first computing device that is indicative of a task to be performed by the portable infusion pump system, wherein the wireless communication is initiated in response to first user interaction with the first computing device;
- and
- in response to receiving the wireless communication, prompting user confirmation that the task indicated by the wireless communication should be performed;
- receiving, by the controller, a signal indicating user confirmation that the task indicated by the wireless communication should be performed, wherein the signal is generated in response to second user interaction with a second computing device, the second computing device being distinct from the first computing device;
- and
- causing, by the controller and in response to receiving the signal indicating user confirmation that the task indicated by the wireless communication should be performed, the portable infusion pump system to perform the task.
A method of operating a portable infusion pump system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a controller of the portable infusion pump system, a wireless communication from a mobile computing device, the wireless communication indicating a task to be performed by the portable infusion pump system;
- and
- receiving, by the controller, one or more signals generated by an accelerometer of the portable infusion pump system;
- determining, by the controller and using the one or more signals generated by the accelerometer, user confirmation of the task indicated by the wireless communication;
- and
- causing, by the controller and in response to determining user conformation of the task indicated by the wireless communication, the portable infusion pump system to perform the task.
