Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a skin adherable device for delivering therapeutic fluid into a body of a patient. In some embodiments, the device includes a monitoring apparatus, a pump, and a tip for delivering the therapeutic fluid into the body of the patient and for monitoring bodily analyte in the body of the patient. The pump may continuously deliver the therapeutic fluid to the body of the patient and the monitoring apparatus may continuously monitor bodily analytes of the patient.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and devices are described herein for adjusting the insertion depth of a cannula associated with a portable therapeutic device within the body of a patient. The systems may include a mounting unit securable to the skin of the patient and having a mounting base and a well defining a passageway through the mounting base and a cannula unit including a cannula subcutaneously insertable through the well of the mounting unit.The well may have an adjustable height and/or adjustable anchoring mechanisms that allow for varying and customized insertion depths of the cannula within the body of the patient.
Abstract:
Medical devices and methods for delivering therapeutic fluids transcutaneously to a body of a patient via a fluid delivery device and an adapter is provided. A Luer slip connector is provided at a first connecting end of the adapter. A therapeutic fluid container is connected with the second connecting end such that the container's neck is received in the second connecting end and a hollow penetrating member provided in the adapter punctures the septum of the container to admit the therapeutic fluid into a needle-less syringe from the container. After, fluid emerges from the tip of the penetrating member, the second connecting end of the adapter is attached to the fluid delivery device, thereby filling the reservoir with the fluid and pushing the syringe plunger forward to inject fluid into reservoir.
Abstract:
A device for delivering fluid into the body is provided. The device may comprise a reservoir including at least one wall for retaining fluid and a plunger (400), wherein the plunger is articulated with a drive screw (300) having a distal end (304) that rotates within the plunger and displaces the plunger in a linear direction. The device may further comprise a reusable part having a motor, one or more gears and a receiving portion, and also a disposable part having a reservoir, a plunger and a drive screw having a proximal end capable of engaging with the receiving portion upon connecting the reusable part and the disposable part
Abstract:
Disclosed is a portable therapeutic fluid dispensing device. The fluid dispensing device includes a reusable part (100) comprising a reusable part housing including at least a controller and a first portion (186) of a driving mechanism, and a disposable part (200) comprising a disposable part housing including at least a reservoir (220) to retain therapeutic fluid, an outlet port to which the therapeutic fluid is dispensed, a fluid conduit providing fluid communication between the reservoir and the outlet port, and a second portion (112) of the driving mechanism. At least a portion of the disposable part housing defines at least a portion of the reservoir. Also, the second portion of the driving mechanism is mechanically couplable to the first portion of the driving mechanism upon connection of the disposable part to the reusable part.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices for sustained medical infusion of fluids are described. Some implementations describe portable infusion methods, systems and devices for selecting a pattern of fluid delivery. Some implementations describe skin securable insulin dispensing methods, systems and devices for selecting a delivery pattern according to the nutritional characteristics (e.g. glycemic index, GI, fat content, etc.) of caloric intake of the user.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods, systems and devices for selecting a bolus configuration and may include one or more of providing a user interface for selection of one or more user interface elements, where each element corresponds to a bolus configuration of a drug, each element is spatially positioned within a multi-dimensional space corresponding to at least three dimensions and the element's position corresponding to each dimension.
Abstract:
A device (1000) for delivering a therapeutic fluid (e.g. insulin) into a body of a patient are provided. In one aspect, the device can be implemented with a help of a patch unit (10) securable to a cradle unit (20) or to the body of the patient. The patch unit can employ a driving mechanism (120), a power source (210), a processor (110), a user interface (14) and a display(12). The processor can be adapted for controlling the driving mechanism by using one or more inputs. The inputs can corresponding to a basal rate and/or a bolus profile. The display can be adapted for displaying the inputs. The user interface can be adapted for adjusting the inputs.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a therapeutic fluid reservoir to be used with an ambulatory portable infusion device. The reservoir includes a pliable shell defining a varying inner volume that varies based on the volume of therapeutic fluid held inside the reservoir, the varying inner volume having a predetermined maximum volume for containing a corresponding volume of therapeutic fluid and an outlet port for communicating fluid from the reservoir to a patient, the varying inner volume decreasing upon therapeutic fluid being communicated through the outlet port. Upon the reservoir reaching the predetermined maximum volume when being filled with therapeutic fluid, any therapeutic fluid in excess of the predetermined maximum volume driven into the reservoir causes a substantially corresponding amount of therapeutic fluid to exit out of the reservoir via the outlet port and/or at least one other port provided in the pliable shell.
