Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for managing access to therapy controls of an ambulatory medicament pump that provides therapy to a subject using safe access levels associated with the therapy controls. The therapy change controls may enable modification of the corresponding therapy control parameters. The disclosed systems and methods can determine the eligibility of a subject receiving therapy from the ambulatory medicament pump or a user of the ambulatory medicament pump, for a safe access level and provide access to the corresponding therapy change controls. The ambulatory medicament pump may provide access to the therapy change controls upon receiving an access signal. In some cases, the ambulatory medicament pump may receive a time-based passcode and provide access to the therapy change controls upon receiving a matching passcode from the user.
