| 20080215035 | Systems, devices and methods for sustained delivery of a therapeutic fluid - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to devices, systems and methods for delivering therapeutic fluid (e.g., insulin) into the body, including a skin adherable cradle, for retaining a therapeutic fluid dispenser for delivering a therapeutic fluid to a user. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20080319416 | Protector apparatus - An apparatus and a method for use with a device for delivery of a therapeutic fluid into a body of a patient and/or for sensing of a bodily analyte are disclosed. The apparatus is adapted for accommodating at least one subcutaneously insertable element and at least one penetrating member for penetrating the skin of the patient. The apparatus includes a protective member having an elongate body from which the subcutaneously insertable element and the penetrating member can be protracted to penetrate the skin of the patient and into which the penetrating member can be retracted subsequent to the penetrating, thereby retaining the subcutaneously insertable element in the body of the patient. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20100191078 | ENERGY SUPPLY FOR FLUID DISPENSING DEVICE - Disclosed is a portable fluid dispensing device for infusing a fluid into the body of a user and/or for sensing an analyte within the body. The device includes at least one housing to retain a source of energy to energize the device, the source of energy comprising at least one electrochemical cell to produce electrical energy upon exposure of the cell to air, and a seal to prevent exposure of the at least one cell to air when the source of energy is not in use and to enable exposure of the at least one cell to air prior to energizing the device with the source of energy. The at least one housing includes an opening to provide access to the seal to enable actuation of the seal to control exposure of the at least one cell to air. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100217105 | Insertion device and method for inserting a subcutaneously insertable element into body - An insertion device ( | 08-26-2010 |
| 20110160652 | MODULAR SKIN-ADHERABLE SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL FLUID DELIVERY - Disclosed is a portable therapeutic fluid dispensing device. The fluid dispensing device includes a reusable part ( | 06-30-2011 |

| 20080319414 | Insertion device - An insertion apparatus and a method for use with a device for delivery of a therapeutic fluid into a body of a patient and/or for sensing of a bodily analyte are disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing adapted for loading therein at least one cannula cartridge unit having a protective member. The protective member accommodates at least one penetrating cartridge having a subcutaneously insertable element and a penetrating member. The apparatus includes a displacement mechanism capable of protracting the penetrating cartridge towards the body of the patient, where protraction of the penetrating cartridge results in insertion of the subcutaneously insertable element into the body of the patient. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20100121306 | COLLAPSIBLE RESERVOIR FOR USE WITH A DELIVERY DEVICE - Disclosed is a therapeutic fluid reservoir to be used with an ambulatory portable infusion device. The reservoir includes a pliable shell defining a varying inner volume that varies based on the volume of therapeutic fluid held inside the reservoir, the varying inner volume having a predetermined maximum volume for containing a corresponding volume of therapeutic fluid and an outlet port for communicating fluid from the reservoir to a patient, the varying inner volume decreasing upon therapeutic fluid being communicated through the outlet port. Upon the reservoir reaching the predetermined maximum volume when being filled with therapeutic fluid, any therapeutic fluid in excess of the predetermined maximum volume driven into the reservoir causes a substantially corresponding amount of therapeutic fluid to exit out of the reservoir via the outlet port and/or at least one other port provided in the pliable shell. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100130931 | FLUID DELIVERY DEVICE - A method and an apparatus for delivery of a therapeutic fluid to the body of a patient are provided. The apparatus includes a dispensing unit having a driving mechanism and a pumping mechanism for pumping the fluid to the body of the patient and a collapsible reservoir fillable with the therapeutic fluid for delivery thereof to the body of the patient. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100137802 | METHODS AND APPRATUS FOR MONITORING ROTATION OF AN INFUSION PUMP DRIVING MECHANISM - An infusion system, method and device for delivering therapeutic fluid to the body of a patient are disclosed. The device includes a dispensing unit having a peristaltic pump for dispensing therapeutic fluid to the body of the patient. The peristaltic pump includes a driving mechanism. The device further includes a monitoring mechanism ( | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100198187 | VENTED DISPENSING DEVICE AND METHOD - Disclosed is a fluid dispensing device that includes at least one reservoir to hold the therapeutic fluid, at least one other unit requiring communication with ambient air, at least partly, to operate, and at least one housing defining an interior to retain the at least one reservoir and the at least one other unit. The at least one housing has at least one vent port formed on one or more of its walls. The at least one vent port is adapted to direct or communicate air to maintain pressure equilibrium between the air pressure in the interior of the at least one housing and the ambient air pressure outside the at least one housing, and provide communication with the ambient air to the at least one other unit requiring air to enable operation of the at least one other unit. | 08-05-2010 |
