Abstract:
Drug delivery reservoir cassette for a pump is provided. The cassette includes a cassette housing having a front surface, a back surface and lateral sidewalls, the cassette housing defining a transverse axis extending between the lateral sidewalls and a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the transverse axis. The cassette housing includes a cassette body region defining a fluid reservoir chamber therein, and a cassette base region having a boundary configured to be received by the pump, the boundary including a pair of opposing rails disposed on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis. The cassette base region can also include an engagement surface, alignment key, and/or support rib to align the cassette in a receiving region of the pump. A device for delivering a beneficial agent including a pump and cassette is also provided.
Abstract:
Device for delivering a beneficial agent includes a cassette including a cassette housing with a fluid reservoir and a cassette base region. The device also includes a delivery tube. The device also includes a pump including a pump housing containing a pump assembly having a fluid drive component. The pump housing has a receiving region to receive the cassette base region. The fluid drive component is proximate the receiving region. A lock member is coupled to the pump housing and movable between an open position and a closed position. The cassette is capable of being inserted into and removed from the receiving region when the lock member is in the open position, and the cassette is secured to the pump with the cassette base region within the receiving region and the delivery tube in operative engagement with the fluid drive component when the lock member is in the closed position.
Abstract:
Drug delivery reservoir for delivery of a beneficial agent to a user includes a drug delivery reservoir housing having a fluid reservoir defined therein. The drug delivery reservoir housing has a drug delivery reservoir base region. The drug delivery reservoir includes a dip tube extending inside the fluid reservoir. The dip tube includes a tubular wall defining a flow lumen. The tubular wall has at least one aperture defined therein and spaced proximally from a distal end of the tubular wall in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. The drug delivery reservoir includes an adaptor disposed external to the drug delivery reservoir housing and coupled to a proximal end of the dip tube.
