Abstract
An infusion system includes a wearable infusion device, a safety assembly, and a tool. The device includes a liquid medicament dispenser having a base attachable to a patient's skin and that, when enabled, causes the liquid medicament to flow to beneath the skin of the patient, and an actuator that, when engaged, enables the dispenser. The safety assembly precludes unintended engagement of the actuator and the tool is arranged to disable the safety assembly.
Claims10
A wearable infusion device comprising:
- a liquid medicament dispenser having an enclosure, a base attachable to a patient's skin and an actuator that, when enabled, causes a dose of the liquid medicament to flow to beneath the skin of the patient, the dispenser being arranged to provide a plurality of doses of the liquid medicament while being attached to the patient's skin;
- and
- a safety assembly arranged to preclude the actuator from being enabled, the safety assembly being releasable to permit the actuator to be enabled for delivering a dose of the liquid medicament and resettable after the delivery of each dose of the liquid medicament to preclude the actuator from being enabled between dose deliveries, the safety assembly being releasable and resettable while the device is attached to the patient's skin.
