Method and system for alerting as to potential for bolus condition

A system for alerting a user to a potential unintended bolus delivery, the system comprising:

• a first fluid delivery system comprising a first fluid flow path, the first fluid delivery system configured to be in fluid communication with a patient along the first fluid flow path,
• the first fluid delivery system having a receiver;
• a second fluid delivery system comprising a second fluid flow path, the second fluid delivery system configured to be in fluid communication with the patient along the second fluid flow path, the second fluid flow path connected to the first fluid flow path between the first fluid delivery system and the patient,
• the second fluid delivery system having a transmitter in communication with the receiver and configured to provide a signal that travels along the second fluid flow path prior to initiation of the second fluid delivery system to change fluid delivery to the patient from the second fluid delivery system;
• the receiver configured to detect the signal as it travels along the first fluid flow path;
• and
• a controller coupled to the receiver, the controller programmed to determine if the signal has been received by the receiver and to alert the user to a potential unintended bolus delivery if the signal has been received by the receiver.
