Adhesive and Peripheral Systems and Methods for Medical Devices

摘要

A repeater system may control a pump by using a repeater and a user interface. An adhesive patch system may be used for affixing a pump or other object to a human body. Such an adhesive patch system may include two sets of adhesive members, each member including an adhesive material on at least one side so as to attach to the body. The members of the first set are spaced to allow the members of the second set to attach to the body in spaces provided between the members of the first set, and the members of the second set are spaced to allow members of the first set to detach from the body without detaching the members of the second set. Also, fill stations and base stations are provided for personal pump systems.

主权项

1. An inserter system for insertion of an infusion device in fluid-flow communication with the inlet or outlet port of a reservoir and for insertion of a sensor, the insertion system comprising:
a bridge comprising a cover for the infusion device and a cover for the sensor; an infusion device introduction needle and a sensor introduction needle supported by the bridge for movement between a retracted position and an extended position; an inserter housing for accommodating the bridge and for movement of the infusion device introduction needle and the sensor introduction needle between the retracted position and the extended position; an infusion device about the infusion device introduction needle and moveable with the infusion device introduction needle between the retracted position and the extended position; a sensor about the sensor introduction need and moveable with the sensor introduction needle between the retracted position and the extended position; an infusion device release located on the bridge for releasing the infusion device in the extended position upon the infusion device introduction needle and infusion device being moved to the extended position; and a sensor release located on the bridge for releasing the sensor in the extended position upon the sensor introduction needle and sensor being moved to the extended position.
