NIGHTTIME BASAL DOSING DEVICE

摘要

A basal hub (30) for attaching to an infusion base (10) is disclosed. The hub (30) includes a fluid reservoir (34) and pressure actuating device (36). A septum portion (38) of the reservoir (34) is configured to be opened by a flow cannula (16) that is in fluid communication with an infusion cannula (15) of the infusion base (10), when the basal hub (30) is attached to the infusion base (10). The pressure actuating device (36) applies pressure to the fluid reservoir (34), such that when the septum portion (38) of the fluid reservoir (34) is pierced by the by the flow cannula (16), liquid stored in the fluid reservoir (34) is released from the fluid reservoir (34) into the infusion cannula (15) of the infusion base (10) via the flow cannula (16). The basal hub (30) is configured to deliver a basal dose of insulin during periods of inactivity, such as during sleep time.
