Abstract
A fill adapter for filling a reservoir. The fill adapter includes a button assembly actuator and a pump chamber plunger actuator hingably attached to the button assembly actuator, wherein the actuation of the button assembly actuator actuates the pump chamber plunger actuator and wherein the pump chamber plunger actuator actuates a pump chamber membrane before the at least one button assembly is actuated.
Claims20
A fill adapter for filling a reservoir comprising:
- a button assembly actuator;
- and
- a pump chamber plunger actuator hingably attached to the button assembly actuator, wherein the actuation of the button assembly actuator actuates the pump chamber plunger actuator and wherein the pump chamber plunger actuator actuates a pump chamber membrane before at least one button assembly is actuated.
A fill adapter base comprising:
- a button assembly actuator for actuating at least one button assembly;
- and
- a pump chamber plunger actuator hingably attached to the button assembly actuator, wherein the actuation of the button assembly actuator actuates the pump chamber plunger actuator and wherein the pump chamber plunger actuator actuates a pump chamber membrane before the at least one button assembly is actuated.
A fill adapter system for filling a reservoir comprising:
- a fill adapter base comprising:
- a button assembly actuator for actuating at least one button assembly;
- and
- a pump chamber plunger actuator hingably attached to the button assembly actuator, wherein the actuation of the button assembly actuator actuates the pump chamber plunger actuator and wherein the pump chamber plunger actuator actuates a pump chamber membrane before the at least one button assembly is actuated;
- and
- a filling aid attached to the fill adapter base for accommodating a syringe for filling a reservoir.
A fill adapter system comprising:
- a disposable housing assembly comprising a reservoir for holding fluid;
- and
- a fill adapter comprising:
- a button assembly actuator for actuating at least one button assembly;
- a pump chamber plunger actuator hingably attached to the button assembly actuator, wherein the actuation of the button assembly actuator actuates the pump chamber plunger actuator and wherein the pump chamber plunger actuator actuates a pump chamber membrane before the at least one button assembly is actuated;
- and
- a filling aid attached to the fill adapter base for accommodating a syringe for filling a reservoir.
