Assignee: FRESENIUS VIAL SAS
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G  H

Claim 10:
11. A distribution server for downloading data sets to patient devices, comprising:
a network interface circuit configured to communicate over a network with the patient devices;
a memory coupled to the network interface circuit, the memory configured to receive over the network interface circuit a data set, the data set comprising parameters to be used by software on the patient devices to perform patient-related functions, the data set comprising a software version indicator for the data set, the memory further configured to receive a current software version of a patient device; and
a processing circuit configured to:
compare the software version indicator for the data set to the current software version of the patient device;
determine an inequality exists between the software version indicator for the data set and the current software version of the patient device;
distribute the data set to the patient device based on the determination of the inequality;
receive an indication that the patient device has an updated software version;
compare the updated software version to a plurality of data sets in the memory, each data set having a different software version indicator;
determine at least one data set having a software version indicator which is numerically less than or equal to the updated software version; and
distribute the data set to the patient device based on the determination that the software version indicator is numerically less than or equal to the updated software version.
