Claim 0:
1. A device for controlling a medical device, comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) circuit configured to exchange RF signals with the medical device;
a memory device; and
a processing device connected to the RF circuit and the memory device and configured to employ a selected one of at least two wireless communication protocols to exchange, via the RF circuit, RF signals with the medical device, wherein the at least two wireless communication protocols comprises a first communication protocol that is employed by the processing device to pair the device with the medical device to securely send secure information chosen from configuration data, medical device operation data, and control signals to operate the medical device, and a second communication protocol that is employed by the processing device to pair with one or more devices different from the medical device and to send information chosen from medical device data and notifications that requires less security than the secure information to the one or more other devices;
wherein the device is configured to constrain the secure information chosen from the configuration data, the medical device operation data, and the control signals to communication via the first communication protocol by providing the secure information with metadata to signify that the first communication protocol is needed to exchange the secure information between the device and the medical device and to preclude communication of the secured information to the said one or more other devices that do not also employ the first communication protocol.
