Wearable infusion device and system
Disclosed is a drug infusion system comprising a drug infusion device having a reservoir, a window for viewing the contents of the reservoir, a cannula arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula. The system also has a cannula cover and a needle handle that holds a needle for insertion into the patient. The cannula cover and needle handle are detachably attached to the drug infusion device, and each is attachable to the other. The device further comprises a septum and a septum pincher to seal the device. The device also comprises a pumping mechanism, part of which are a last-dose lock-out mechanism and an occlusion detection mechanism, both of which operate on the same actuator.
1. A drug infusion system comprising:
a skin-adherable drug infusion device comprising a reservoir, a cannula having an end portion arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula;
a cannula cover that covers the end portion of the cannula arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of the patient;
a needle handle, wherein the needle handle holds a needle for insertion into the patient,
and a last dose lock-out mechanism.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the device comprises an occlusion detection mechanism.
3. A drug infusion system comprising:
a skin-adherable drug infusion device comprising a reservoir, a cannula arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula;
a cannula cover; and
a needle handle, wherein the needle handle holds a needle for insertion into the patient
wherein the device comprises an occlusion detection mechanism and a last-dose lock-out mechanism, and wherein both the last-dose lock-out mechanism and the occlusion detection mechanism are configured to operate on the same actuator.
4. A drug infusion system comprising:
a skin-adherable drug infusion device comprising a reservoir, a cannula having an end portion arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula;
a cannula cover that covers the end portion of the cannula arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of the patient;
a needle handle, wherein the needle handle holds a needle for insertion into the patient,
a fill port through which the reservoir receives medicament, and
wherein the cannula cover includes a guide port that guides a medicament supply instrument into alignment with the fill port.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the guide port includes stop structure that limits penetration of the medicament supply instrument within the fill port.
6. A drug infusion system comprising:
a skin-adherable drug infusion device comprising a reservoir, a cannula having an end portion arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula;
a cannula cover that covers the end portion of the cannula arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of the patient;
a needle handle, wherein the needle handle holds a needle for insertion into the patient,
wherein the cannula cover includes a priming window through which priming of the device may be observed.
7. A drug infusion system comprising:
a skin-adherable drug infusion device comprising a reservoir, a cannula having an end portion arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula; and
a cannula cover arranged to be releasably joined with the device, the cannula cover including a channel for receiving the cannula of the device when releasably joined with the device to protect the cannula and being arranged to capture medicament during priming of the device,
wherein the channel includes a plurality of inwardly radially projecting fins for capturing the medicament during priming of the device.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the fins are longitudinally extending within the channel.
9. A drug infusion system comprising:
a skin-adherable drug infusion device comprising a reservoir, a cannula having an end portion arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of a patient, and an actuator configured to be manually actuated to drive a medicament from the reservoir to the cannula; and
a cannula cover arranged to be releasably joined with the device and that covers the end portion of the cannula arranged to be deployed beneath the skin of the patient, the cannula cover including a channel for receiving the cannula of the device when releasably joined with the device to protect the cannula and being arranged to capture medicament during priming of the device,
wherein the cannula cover includes a priming window through which priming of the device may be observed within the channel.
