Drug delivery system with on-body pump and secondary unit
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11992653B2) discloses a system comprising an on-body pump device with a reservoir, pump mechanism, and fluid pathway, designed to be attached to a user's skin. The system includes a secondary unit with a variable fill mechanism that can receive a prefilled cartridge containing a liquid drug. The secondary unit is capable of expelling the liquid drug from the cartridge and delivering it to the reservoir of the on-body pump device. The system also features a needle insertion mechanism to enable the delivery of the liquid drug into the user's skin.
Furthermore, the patent describes an on-body pump device with multiple reservoirs and pump mechanisms, each capable of pumping a different fluid. The device includes a flow regulator valve with inner and outer valves to control the flow rate of each fluid independently. A cannula is fluidly coupled to the flow regulator valve, allowing the delivery of the fluids to the user. The device also features a septum for receiving a secondary unit, enabling the delivery of the fluids to the respective reservoirs. Additionally, a secondary unit is detailed in the patent, with an opening for a prefilled cartridge, a variable fill mechanism, and a needle insertion mechanism to actuate the introducing needle of the on-body pump device. The variable fill mechanism includes a visual indicator to display the fill volume of the liquid drug within the reservoir, providing a user-friendly and efficient drug delivery system.
