Abstract
Fill stations and base stations are provided for personal pump systems. The fill stations may be opened and closed to accept a reservoir and to allow fluid to be introduced into the reservoir for use with personal pump systems. The fill stations may hold the reservoir at a tilt relative to an underlying surface and may discourage overfilling of the reservoir. The filling stations may also include viewing windows having fluid lines marked thereon for indicating volume of fluid within the reservoir.
Claims13
A system for controlling a wearable medical device, the system comprising:
- an intermediate transceiver comprising:
- short-range reception circuitry for, over the given range, receiving signals to the wearable medical device;
- short-range transmission circuitry for, over the given range, transmitting signals to the wearable medical device;
- longer-range transmission circuitry for, over a longer range exceeding the given range, transmitting the received signals to a user interface located remotely from the patient, longer-range reception circuitry for, over the longer range, receiving signals from the user interface;
- and
- an alarm for notifying a user of the presence of a fault condition;
- and
- a user interface comprising:
- interface reception circuitry for receiving signals from the intermediate transceiver;
- and
- interface transmission circuitry for transmitting signals to the intermediate transceiver;
- wherein the user interface is configured to receive an alarm signal from the intermediate transceiver and to relay the alarm signal.
