摘要

A safety feature for a wearable infusion device is disclosed. The safety feature is configured to prevent accidental activation of the infusion device by protecting the activation button of the infusion device prior to and after the actuation of the activation button. The safety feature includes a wall section that protrudes from the main body of the infusion device in the vicinity of the activation button. A cover device covers the activation button prior to the actuation of the activation button. The cover device slides on the main body of the infusion device. When the cover covers the activation button, movement of the cover is restricted by the protruding wall section adjacent to the activation button, to hold the cover in position over the activation button.
