Integrated infusion pump and container

摘要

An integrated pump module is disclosed that includes a rigid housing having a fluid outlet, a fluid reservoir within the housing, and a pumping segment coupled between the fluid reservoir and the fluid outlet. The pumping segment is configured to cause fluid to flow from the fluid reservoir to the fluid outlet.

主权项

1. An integrated pump module comprising:
a rigid housing comprising a top and a bottom; a fluid outlet coupled to the rigid housing; a fluid reservoir disposed within the rigid housing and comprising a top, a bottom, and foldable sidewalls; and a pumping segment coupled between the fluid reservoir and the fluid outlet, the pumping segment configured to be coupled to and driven by an external pump actuator, so as (a) draw a fluid from the fluid reservoir and pump the fluid to the fluid outlet, and cause the top of the fluid reservoir to separate from the rigid housing top and move linearly towards the rigid housing bottom so that the fluid reservoir sidewalls fold within the rigid housing, and (b) draw a fluid from the fluid outlet and pump the fluid to the fluid reservoir, and cause the top of the fluid reservoir to move linearly towards the rigid housing top, wherein the pump actuator is (i) external to the pump module rigid housing, and (ii) does not direct a compressive force to the fluid reservoir.
