A fluid delivery device comprising a fluid reservoir; a transcutaneous access tool fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir; and a drive mechanism for driving fluid from the reservoir, the drive mechanism comprising a plunger received in the reservoir; a leadscrew extending from the plunger; a nut threadably engaged with the leadscrew; a drive wheel; and a clutch mechanism coupled to the drive wheel, wherein the clutch mechanism is configured to allow the nut to pass through when disengaged and is configured to grip the nut when engaged such that the drive wheel rotates the nut to advance the drive rod and the plunger into the reservoir.

Fluid delivery device, transcutaneous access tool and fluid drive mechanism for use therewith

A medical device comprising an infusion device comprising a fluid reservoir to contain a therapeutic fluid and a transcutaneous access tool fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir, the transcutaneous access tool configured to deliver the therapeutic fluid subcutaneously to a patient; wherein the infusion device operates in a stand-by mode prior to the therapeutic fluid being introduced into the fluid reservoir; wherein the infusion device operates to deploy the transcutaneous access tool within a predetermined deployment time period upon filling the fluid reservoir to a predetermined fill level with the therapeutic fluid.

Fluid delivery and infusion devices, and methods of use thereof

Disclosed is a fluid delivery device including a fluid reservoir and a transcutaneous access tool fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir, wherein the transcutaneous access tool includes a needle or a trocar. The fluid delivery device may further include a transcutaneous access tool insertion mechanism for deploying the transcutaneous access tool, wherein the insertion mechanism is configured to insert and retract the needle/trocar in a single, uninterrupted motion.

Fluid delivery device, transcutaneous access tool and insertion mechanism for use therewith

A physiological parameter associated with tissue of a host may be monitored in the tissue to confirm subcutaneous delivery of medication to the host. More particularly, such may involve delivering medication subcutaneously to the host with a medical device which includes a sensor used to measure the physiological parameter, particularly within a predetermined time period after delivery of the medication. Such may also or otherwise involve forming a depot in the tissue with the medication, and using the sensor to measure the physiological parameter while the sensor is at least partially within the depot.

Monitoring a physiological parameter associated with tissue of a host to confirm delivery of medication

A fluid delivery device comprising a fluid reservoir; a transcutaneous access tool fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir, the transcutaneous access tool including a needle or a trocar; and a transcutaneous access tool insertion mechanism for deploying the transcutaneous access tool, wherein the insertion mechanism is configured to insert and retract the needle/trocar in a single, uninterrupted motion.

A method of treating a host with a medication, comprising assigning a unique identifier to a host treatment apparatus; assigning a unique identifier to the host; storing the unique host identifier and the unique host treatment apparatus identifier on at least one remote server of a network and associating the unique host identifier and the unique host treatment apparatus identifier on the at least one remote server such that the unique host identifier and the unique host treatment apparatus identifier are exclusively associated to each other; activating the host treatment apparatus; coupling the host medication delivery device to the host; operating the host medication delivery device to deliver the medication contained in the host medication delivery device to the host; and operating the host treatment apparatus such that the host treatment apparatus communicates wirelessly to the at least one remote server an operational status of the host medication delivery device.

Confirmation of delivery of medication to a host

An infusion device comprising a fluid reservoir for containing a therapeutic fluid; and a transcutaneous access tool fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir for delivering the therapeutic fluid subcutaneously and for introducing a monitoring test strip subcutaneously, and methods of use thereof.
