Disposable infusion device with reuse lock-out
A wearable infusion device comprises a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament, an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient, a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet port when actuated, and a control that actuates the pump. A lock-out disables the device when a predefined amount of medicament has been delivered to the outlet.
1. A wearable infusion device comprising: a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament; an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient; a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet port when actuated; a mechanical control that mechanically actuates the pump; and a lock-out that acts directly on the mechanical control to preclude operation of the mechanical control when a predefined amount of medicament has been delivered to the outlet.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the lock-out is a last dose lock-out.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the lock-out disables the control when the reservoir is at a given level.
4. The device of claim 3 , wherein the given level is empty.
5. A wearable infusion device comprising: a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament; an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient; a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet port when actuated; a control that mechanically engages with the pump to actuate it; a lock-out that disables the device when a predefined amount of medicament has been delivered to the outlet; and a fill port communicating with the reservoir to permit the reservoir to be filled with the liquid medicament, wherein the lock-out blocks the fill port to disable the device when a predefined amount of medicament has been delivered to the outlet.
6. The device of claim 5 , wherein the lock-out is a last dose lock-out.
7. The device of claim 5 , wherein the lock-out is responsive to the reservoir being at a given level to block the fill port.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the given level is empty.
9. The device of claim 5 , wherein the lock-out disables the control and blocks the fill port to disable the device when a predefined amount of medicament has been delivered to the outlet.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the lock-out is a last dose lock-out.
11. The device of claim 5 , wherein the lock-out is responsive to the reservoir being at a given level to disable the control and block the fill port.
12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the given level is empty.
13. A wearable infusion device comprising: a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament; an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient; a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet port when actuated; a mechanical control that mechanically engages with the pump to actuate it; and a lock-out that acts directly on the mechanical control to disable the mechanical control and preclude actuation of the device when the medicament level in the reservoir is at a given level.
14. A wearable infusion device comprising: a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament; an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient; a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet port when actuated; a control that mechanically engages with the pump to actuate it; a fill port communicating with the reservoir to permit the reservoir to be filled with the liquid medicament; and a lock-out that blocks the fill port to disable the device when the medicament level in the reservoir is at a given level.
15. A wearable infusion device comprising: a reservoir that holds a liquid medicament; an outlet port that delivers the liquid medicament to a patient; a pump that displaces a volume of the liquid medicament to the outlet port when actuated; a control that mechanically engages with the pump to actuate it; a fill port communicating with the reservoir to permit the reservoir to be filled with the liquid medicament; and a lock-out that blocks the fill port and disables the control to disable the device when the medicament level in the reservoir is at a given level.
