Advance diagnosis of infusion device operating mode viability

A method of operating an infusion device to deliver fluid to a user in accordance with an operating mode, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a control module of the infusion device, operational information pertaining to one or more prior instances of the operating mode;
• obtaining, by the control module, status information pertaining to the infusion device;
• determining, by the control module, an expected start time for a subsequent instance of the operating mode based at least in part on the operational information;
• determining, by the control module, a diagnosis time based at least in part on the operational information, the diagnosis time being prior to the expected start time;
• automatically performing, by the control module, an algorithmic diagnostic check to determine an availability of the operating mode at the expected start time based at least in part on the status information at the diagnosis time;
• and
• automatically providing, by the control module, a notification indicative of a recommended action for the user when the algorithmic diagnostic check indicates unavailability at the diagnosis time.

• determining, by the control module, a diagnosis time based at least in part on the operational information, the diagnosis time being prior to the expected start time;
• automatically performing, by the control module, a physical diagnostic check to determine a physical capability of the infusion device implementing the operating mode for the expected duration at the expected start time based at least in part on the status information at the diagnosis time;
• and
• automatically providing, by the control module, a notification indicative of a recommended action for the user when the physical diagnostic check indicates an inability to implement the operating mode for the expected duration at the expected start time.
