A system for distributing information from a battery-powered medical device to a network via a battery pack, the system comprising:
- a portable medical device configured to releasably receive a battery pack, the portable medical device comprising
- a communication system, and
- a processor controlled by commands embedded in and/or executed upon the processor, wherein the commands are configured to, while the battery pack is inserted in the portable medical device,
- transfer, to an event archive of the battery pack via the communication system, information related to usage of the portable medical device;
- and
- an equipment configured to releasably receive the battery pack, the equipment being a different type of a device than the portable medical device, the equipment comprising
- a processor controlled by commands embedded in and/or executed upon the processor, wherein the commands are configured to, while the battery pack is inserted in the equipment,
- transfer, from the archive of the battery pack, the information related to the usage of the portable medical device.
A system for distributing information from a battery-powered medical device to a network via a battery pack, the system comprising:
- a portable medical device configured to releasably receive a battery pack, the portable medical device comprising
- a memory, and
- a processor controlled by commands embedded in and/or executed upon the processor, wherein the commands are configured to
- collect, in the memory, operational history data and/or performance data related to the functioning of the portable medical device during use, and
- load, from the memory to an archival memory of the battery pack, the operational history data and/or performance data;
- and
- an equipment configured to releasably receive the battery pack, the equipment comprising
- a connector configured to interface with a communication system to communicate with a network or server, and
- a processor controlled by commands embedded in and/or executed upon the processor, wherein the commands are configured to
- receive the operational history data and/or performance data of the portable medical device from the archival memory of the battery pack, and
- transfer, via the connector, the operational history data and/or performance data of the portable medical device to the network or server.
