Abstract
The invention pertains to apparatuses, means and methods to promote uptake of fluids into a reservoir of an implantable drug delivery system though a porous membrane. Embodiments of the invention promote fluid uptake by creating a pressure differential between the reservoir of the drug delivery device and the environment of the device after implantation, for instance a subcutaneous pocket.
