Abstract:
1. A method of using a portable infusion pump system, comprising: selecting an insulin pump device from a set of insulin pump devices comprising at least a first type of insulin pump device and a second type of insulin pump device having the same size and shape as the first type of insulin pump device, wherein the first type of insulin pump device houses a drive system configured to dispense insulin and an internal circuit that stores a first parameter setting indicative of disabling wireless communication, and wherein the second type of insulin pump device houses a drive system configured to dispense insulin and an internal circuit that stores a second parameter setting indicative of enabling wireless communication; and removably attaching the first type of insulin pump device to a controller device to form an electrical connection between the controller device and the first type of insulin pump device so that the controller device is operable to control the drive system of the first type of insulin pump device to dispense insulin from the first type of insulin pump device, wherein the controller device automatically disables a wireless communication device of the controller device in response to querying via the electrical connection the first parameter setting of the internal circuit housed by the first type of insulin pump device, and wherein the controller device displays a text alert message on a user interface display of the controller device indicating that wireless communication is disabled.
