DISPLAY FOR PUMP
This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus comprising a pump configured to deliver insulin, a processor, and a user interface including a bistable display. A display element of the bistable display is placed in one of two stable orientations upon application of a biasing voltage and stays in the stable orientation when the biasing voltage is removed. The processor includes a display module configured to display a non-blank reversion display screen on the bistable display when no input is received at the user interface after a specified time duration, and to recurrently change the reversion display screen until input is received at the user interface.
1 . A system comprising a pump device and a display device, wherein the pump device includes:
a pump;
a user interface;
a communication port; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the pump, the user interface, and the communication port, wherein the processor includes a display data module configured to:
communicate display information from the pump device to the display device via the communication port;
convert input received via the user interface into changes to a display; and
communicate updated display information according to the received input to the display device, and
wherein the display device includes:
a communication port;
a monitor; and
a second processor communicatively coupled to the communication port and the monitor, wherein the second processor is configured to receive display information via the communication port and to display a user menu for the pump device on the monitor.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitor is a video monitor, and wherein the display device includes a video adapter communicatively coupled to the second processor and the video monitor to convert the received display information to a video format for display on the video monitor.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the display data module is configured to communicate, for display on the display device, at least one of an indication of status of the pump device, a prompt to initiate a task by the insulin pump device, or an operation parameter of the insulin pump device.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the display data module is configured to communicate, for display on the display device, instructions for using the pump device.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor includes a report module configured to generate a device report, and wherein the display data module is configured to communicate the device report to the display device for display.
6 . The system of claim 1 , including a second user interface communicatively coupled to the second processor, wherein the second processor is configured to manipulate the user menu for the pump device on the monitor according to input received via the user interface.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the second processor is configured to change, according to input received via the second user interface, at least one of:
a contrast of the user menu for the pump device displayed on the monitor,
a size of the user menu for the pump device displayed on the monitor, or
a color used in the displaying the user menu for the pump device on the monitor.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second processor is configured to display an enlarged version of the user menu for the pump device on the monitor.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the display information includes a report generated by the pump device, and wherein the second processor is configured to display the report on the monitor.
