Embodiment Construction

[0037] figure 1 Dosing unit 100 and drive unit 200 are shown, as well as liquid drug reservoir 300 . It should be noted that only those structural and functional elements are shown which in view of the disclosure of the invention are particularly relevant. Other units such as electronic control units, power supplies, user interfaces etc. are usually present as well.

[0038] The dosing unit 100 comprises a metering pump unit 110 comprising a dosing cartridge having an aperture and a piston (elements not separately numbered) as described above in the overview. In the proximal front wall of the drug cartridge, a hole is arranged as a fluid port coupled to pump port 127a. The dosing unit also comprises a valve unit which can be alternately in the filling state 120b or the discharging state 120a. During operation, the valve unit repeatedly switches between these states. The reservoir 300 is fluidly coupled to the valve unit via the fill port 127b of the valve unit. The patien...

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a drug delivery unit (100) for a portable infusion system, including: - a metering pump unit (110) including a drug delivery cartridge (112) and a drug delivery cartridge (112) disposed in sealed sliding engagement. Piston (111); valve unit (120) having: a fill port (127b) designed to be in fluid communication with the liquid medication reservoir (300); a discharge port (127c) designed to be in fluid communication with the infusion site interface (890) ); and a shut-off valve body (126) movable between a filling position and an alternate discharge position, in which the filling port (127b) is fluidly connected to the delivery cartridge (112) and in the discharge position, the delivery cartridge (112) 112) fluidly coupled to the discharge port (127c); - a driver coupling (125) coupled to or integral with the shutoff valve body and serving as the output element of the stepper switching mechanism. The present disclosure also relates to drive units, portable infusion systems, and methods of coupling a drug delivery unit and a drive unit that are combinable with the disclosed drug delivery units.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure is in the field of dosing units for portable infusion systems. The present disclosure is also in the field of drive units for use in conjunction with dosing units and in the field of portable infusion systems for infusing liquid medication into a patient's body over an extended period of time. Furthermore, the present disclosure belongs to the field of methods for coupling a drug delivery unit and a drive unit. Background technique [0002] Portable infusion sets are well known in the art, for example in diabetes treatment by subcutaneous continuous infusion of insulin (CSII) and in pain management or cancer treatment, and are available from a number of suppliers, such as Roche Diagnostics GmbH in Germany (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Germany) or Medtronic MiniMed Inc., CA, USA. [0003] These portable infusion devices or systems are usually of the syringe-driver type according to classical and well-accepted designs. A number of di...
