Abstract

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.

Claims (15)

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.
