Abstract

The invention concerns a medical assembly which insures a secured communication between a medical device (like a insulin pump) and its remote control which manages the medical device. To this effect, said assembly use an external microcontroller (MCU) which contains the secured data and uses a cryptographic mechanism to communicate with the medical device. One single external microcontroller (MCU) is paired with only one medical device in such a way the patient can change several times of remote device although aware that the remote device, in which said external protected MCU is inserted, is the single remote device paired with the medical device. In said assembly, said medical device and said external microcontroller (MCU) comprise secured memories which contain the wireless communication configuration in such a way the devices know in advance the good configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to remote controls for medical devices such as, but not limited to, delivery devices (e.g., insulin pumps) and / or wireless sensors (e.g., continuous glucose meters) and / or implantable devices and / or sampling device. Background technique [0002] A remote control is required to control some medical devices as light and small as a patch pump, such as an insulin pump, because it is difficult for the patient to see the contents of the display located on the pump itself. Most pumps today use a dedicated personal remote, which means carrying another unit with you, with all the drawbacks it can create, such as: [0003] Find a pocket to keep it in a safe place for quick and easy access. [0004] Don't forget your remote. [0005] Consider charging it or having a spare battery. [0006] Prevent it from degrading due to drops or any "harsh" external conditions such as exposure to sunlight or sand. [0007] One way to prevent t...
