Some embodiments of an infusion pump device may include a drive system that accurately and incrementally dispenses fluid from the pump device in a controlled manner. Particular embodiments of the drive system may include a rotational motor that is coupled to a string member, which is used to adjust a pawl relative to a ratchet body. In such circumstances, the drive system can provide a reliable and compact infusion pump device that accurately dispenses the desired volume of fluid.

What is claimed is: 1. A medical infusion pump system, comprising: a pump device having a drive system to cause dispensation of a medicine, the drive system including: a pawl that is adjustable relative to a ratchet body, the pawl engaging one or more teeth of the ratchet body to incrementally advance the ratchet body; a flexible member coupled to the pawl; a spindle coupled to the flexible member; and a rotational motor coupled to the spindle so that rotation by the motor causes the flexible member to wind or unwind around the spindle to thereby adjust the pawl relative to the ratchet body. 2. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the flexible member comprises a braided filament structure capable of transiting a tension force. 3. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the flexible member comprises a flexible tape structure capable of transmitting a tension force. 4. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the spindle is arranged coaxially with a rotational shaft of the motor. 5. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein one or more rotations by the motor causes the flexible member to apply a tension force to the pawl. 6. The medical infusion pump system of claim 5, wherein one or more full rotations by the motor in a first rotational direction causes one or more full windings of the flexible member around the spindle, the one or more full windings of the flexible member adjusting the pawl to engage a new tooth of the ratchet body. 7. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, farther comprising a removable controller device that is mechanically and electrically connectable to the pump device. 8. The medical infusion pump system of claim 7, wherein the removable controller device comprises a user interface that provides information to a user when the controller device is connected to the pump device. 9. The medical infusion pump system of claim 7, wherein the pump device further comprises a housing that defines a cavity to receive a medicine cartridge, the pump device housing defining at least one portion that mates with the removable controller device. 10. The medical infusion pump system of claim 7, wherein the removable controller device controls the rotational motor to alternate between rotation in a first rotational direction and rotation in a second rotational direction. 11. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the drive system further includes a bias member coupled to the pawl to drive the pawl from a reset position toward a forward position so as to incrementally advance the ratchet body. 12. The medical infusion pump system of claim 11, wherein the drive system further includes a flexible piston rod that is advanced in a longitudinal direction by an incremental distance in response the incremental advancement of the ratchet body. 13. The medical infusion pump system of claim 11, wherein the flexible member is wound around the spindle member by the one or more full rotations of the rotational motor and thereby urges the pawl member toward the reset position. 14. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the pawl comprises a pivotable body and the ratchet body comprises a ratchet wheel. 15. The medical infusion pump system of claim 14, wherein the pawl is adjustable from a reset position to a forward position to incrementally advance the ratchet body. 16. The medical infusion pump system of claim 15, wherein the drive system further includes a spring to urge the pawl toward the forward position and incrementally advance the ratchet body. 17. The medical infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the flexible member applies a tension force to the pawl when the flexible member winds around the spindle. 18. The medical infusion pump system of claim 17, wherein the flexible member is selected from the group consisting of a braided filament structure, a monofilament string structure, and a tape structure. 19. A method of operating the infusion pump system of claim 1, comprising: rotating the motor one or more full rotations in a first rotational direction to unwind the flexible member from the spindle and thereby adjust the ratchet body, wherein the adjustment of the ratchet body incrementally advances a piston rod in a forward direction to force medicine from the pump device; continuing to rotate the motor in the first rotational direction so that the flexible member winds around the spindle and thereby applies a tension force to reset the pawl; and in a next dispensing cycle, rotating the motor one or more full rotations in an opposite, second rotational direction to unwind the flexible member from the spindle and thereby adjust the ratchet body, wherein the adjustment of the ratchet body incrementally advances the piston rod in the forward direction to force medicine from the pump device. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the spindle is arranged coaxially with a rotational shaft of the motor. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein the ratchet body comprises a ratchet wheel that is engaged by the pawl. 22. The method of claim 21, further comprising driving the incremental rotation of the ratchet wheel using force from a spring coupled to the pawl to drive the pawl from a reset position toward a forward position. 23. The method of claim 22, wherein the flexible member winds around the spindle member and thereby urges the pawl member toward the reset position. 24. A method of operating the infusion pump system of claim 1, comprising: rotating the motor to unwind the flexible member from the spindle and thereby adjust the ratchet body, wherein the adjustment of the ratchet body incrementally advances the piston rod in a forward direction to force medicine from the pump device; and rotating the motor to wind the flexible member around the spindle and thereby apply a tension force to reset the pawl relative to the ratchet body. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein rotating the motor to unwind the flexible member comprises rotating the motor one or more full rotations in a first rotational direction. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein rotating the motor to wind the flexible member comprises continuing to rotate the motor in the first rotational direction. 27. The method of claim 26, further comprising, in a next dispensing cycle, rotating the motor one or more full rotations in an opposite, second rotational direction to unwind the flexible member from the spindle. 28. The method of claim 24, wherein the spindle is arranged coaxially with a rotational shaft of the motor. 29. The method of claim 24, wherein the ratchet body comprises a ratchet wheel that is engaged by the pawl. 30. The method of claim 29, further comprising driving the incremental rotation of the ratchet wheel using force from a spring coupled to the pawl to drive the pawl from a reset position toward a forward position. 31. The method of claim 30, wherein the flexible member winds around the spindle member and thereby urges the pawl member toward the reset position.
