    Abstract: A multiple pulse volume shuttle pump powered by a shape memory alloy (SMA) wire is disclosed. In some embodiments, a shuttle pump system may include a pump chamber, a valve operable with the pump chamber, and a wire coupled to a valve shaft of the valve for controlling a position of the valve. The shuttle pump system may further include a pin disposed within an inset pathway of a cam, wherein the pin is moveable between multiple positions of the inset pathway in response to actuation of the valve shaft.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are wearable drug delivery devices and methods for component positioning of a linear shuttle pump. In some approaches, a pump may include a pump chamber operably coupled with a piston, and a detent apparatus, wherein the detent apparatus comprises a detent body, a detent arm, and a detent engagement member. The detent engagement member may be retained in direct physical contact with first or second arrest locations of either the detent body or the detent arm. The pump may further include a piston grip coupled to the piston, the piston grip including a grip component engaged with an exterior of the piston. Movement of the piston grip may cause the piston to move axially relative to the pump chamber to control receipt and delivery of a liquid drug.

    Abstract: Examples of fluid delivery drive system and/or pump system that creates a vacuum in a fluid line for drawing and expelling fluid are provided. The vacuum may be created by separating two components that are positioned within the sealed fluid line. Once the two components are separated and the fluid is contained within the volume created between the separated components, the two components may be shuttled within the sealed volume. The movement of the two components can seal off an inlet to the fluid line and then open a pathway to an outlet from the fluid line while ensuring the created volume between the two components is maintained constant. The two components can then be moved back together to expel the fluid from the created volume through the outlet for delivery, for example, to a patient. Other examples are disclosed and described.
