A computer configured to monitor medical device data for presentation on a user interface. The computer comprises a processing circuit and a network interface circuit configured to provide communications over a network. The processing circuit is configured to receive at configurable time intervals a medical device status message from a medical device over the network; set a device last connection time, comprising a date and time that a most recent status message was received over the network by the computer from the medical device; receive input from a user interface in communication with the computer to retrieve pump information; calculate a delta between the device last connection time and a date and time the processing circuit received the input from the user interface; compare the delta with a device connection threshold value; and display a warning on the user interface if the delta is greater than the threshold value.
