Abstract
A medical device includes a gesture detector for detecting a gesture of a second device with respect to the medical device. The gesture is detected within a small time window. The medical device also includes an association gesture determiner for determining that the gesture is an association gesture for initiating a request to associate the medical device with the second device, and a device associator for associating the medical device with the second device based on the association gesture.
