COORDINATION OF CONTROL COMMANDS IN A MEDICAL DEVICE SYSTEM HAVING AT LEAST ONE THERAPY DELIVERY DEVICE AND AT LEAST ONE WIRELESS CONTROLLER DEVICE

A medical device system includes at least one controllable patient-worn or patient-carried medical device, and a plurality of controller devices that are capable of independently controlling features or functions of the patient medical device. A number of techniques, protocols, and other measures are provided to coordinate wireless communication between the various devices in a medical device system. A medical device as provided here includes fingerprint reader operatively coupled to a security module. The medical device maintains a list of fingerprint-secured operations of the medical device, each of the fingerprint-secured operations being linked to a respective assigned set of identifiable fingerprint data. The security module analyzes a swiped set of fingerprint data, compares the swiped set of fingerprint data to identifiable fingerprint data maintained in the list, and initiates a fingerprint-secured operation when the swiped set of fingerprint data satisfies matching criteria for its respective assigned set of identifiable fingerprint data.
