Drug cartridge-based infusion pump
Abstract:
An infusion pump includes a reusable housing unit, a disposable reservoir, and a cap fit on the reservoir, wherein the cap includes a conduit for fluid communication. An aseptic connector assembly includes first and second occlusions in the reservoir and the cap. A pull assembly extends from the aseptic connector assembly and forms the first and second occlusions. The pump has three states. In a storage state, the reservoir is separate from the housing unit and the first and second occlusions cooperate to occlude a wet path extending from the reservoir through the conduit in the cap. In a ready state, the reservoir is applied to the housing unit but the wet path is still occluded. In a use state, the reservoir is applied to the housing unit, the first and second occlusions are removed from the aseptic connector assembly, and the wet path is opened for communication.
