Embodiments include an infusion pump providing safe and reliable touchless control. The infusion pump includes a pump housing, a pumping mechanism coupled to the pump housing that selectively delivers medicament to a patient, a pump control system including a processor and a memory programmable to control operation of the pumping mechanism, and a touchless control module for relaying commands to the pump control system. The touchless control module includes a first touchless user interface configured to receive a touchless programming command for the infusion pump from a user and a second touchless user interface configured to confirm the touchless programming command by receipt of a touchless confirmation command from the user.
