Insertion device systems and methods

摘要

An insertion device may include a base adapted to be carried by a patient, and a housing attached to the base, the housing having a fluid connector arranged for movement relative to the base. A pair of interactive elements including a first interactive element may be supported on the base and a second interactive element supported on the housing at a location to be interactable with the first interactive element when the fluid connector is moved to a predetermined position. Circuitry may be configured to detect an interaction between the first interactive element and the second interactive element when the fluid connector is in the predetermined position, the circuitry configured to provide a signal or a change in state in response to detecting the interaction between the first interactive element and the second interactive element.

主权项

1. An insertion system, the insertion system comprising:
a base adapted to be carried by a patient; a first device housing configured to be operatively engaged with and disengaged from the base, the first device housing comprising:
a first carrier body arranged for movement in a direction within at least a portion of the first device housing at least between a retracted position and an advanced position, the first carrier body for supporting a piercing member in a position orientated for insertion through skin of the patient upon movement of the first carrier body from the retracted position to the advanced position; and a second device housing configured to be operatively engaged with and disengaged from the first device housing, the second device housing comprising:
a second carrier body arranged for movement within at least a portion of the second device housing at least between a retracted position and an advanced position, the second carrier body operatively engageable with the first carrier body; anda drive mechanism arranged within the second device housing for providing a rotational force about an axis extending in the direction of movement of the first carrier body to cause the first carrier body to move from the retracted position toward the advanced position to insert at least a portion of the piercing member through skin of the patient.
