The present invention provides a reservoir compartment adapter for use with a fluid delivery device. The adapter includes a first end adapted for coupling with a fluid delivery device, a second end adapted for coupling with a connector, and a structure between the first end and the second end including an interior space for receiving the reservoir, wherein an extended reservoir compartment for accommodating the reservoir is adapted to be formed when the first end is coupled to the fluid delivery device, and the reservoir is adapted to be secured in the extended reservoir compartment when the connector is coupled to the second end. The adapter allows a user of a delivery device accommodating reservoirs of a certain size to manage periods where increased medication dosage is needed without the burden of carrying a larger delivery device for accommodating reservoirs filled with the increased dosage.
A reservoir compartment adapter for use with a reservoir containing fluid, a fluid delivery device for delivering the fluid from the reservoir into a body, the fluid delivery device having a reservoir compartment, the reservoir compartment having a length shorter than the reservoir and including a first interior space for receiving the reservoir, and a connector coupled to the reservoir, the adapter comprising:
A fluid delivery system for delivering fluid into a body, the system comprising:
