Abstract

Methods and systems are disclosed, wherein temperature in a device, such as an ambulatory infusion pump, etc., is monitored during inductive charging of the device such that temperature-sensitive contents or components, such as, for example, insulin, particular circuitry and / or other components are not damaged. Temperature can be monitored in the device at one or more locations during inductive charging. If the temperature breaches one or more predetermined thresholds and / or is rising at a rate greater than one or more predetermined thresholds, charging can be suspended or provided at reducedpower to prevent the temperature from further rising and damaging the contents and / or components of the device. One or more alerts associated with these events may also be triggered so that the user is aware of the situation and may take corrective action.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 655,516, filed April 10, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to medical pumps for delivering drugs to patients, and more particularly to user-wearable infusion pumps for delivering drugs, such as insulin, to patients. Background technique [0004] There are many applications in academia, industry, and medicine that would benefit from devices and methods that enable the accurate and controllable delivery of fluids, such as liquids and gases, when administered in known and controlled quantities. The device and method have beneficial effects. Such devices and methods can be particularly useful in the medical field, where treatment of a number of patients involves administering known quantities of substances at predetermined time intervals. [0005] One type of device used to d...
