Abstract: A method of operating an infusion device that includes the steps of actuating a fluid transfer device, which is configured to deliver a predetermined volume during each actuation, in accordance with a delivery profile that includes a plurality of fluid transfer device actuations, determining, based on sensed pressure, whether an actual volume delivered during a fluid transfer device actuation is the predetermined volume, and adjusting the number of actuations in the delivery profile in response to the actual volume delivered differing from the predetermined volume.

Abstract: A programming device for an implantable drug pump includes a display device, a communication device, and a controller. The communication device is adapted to facilitate a communication link between the programming device and an implantable drug pump. The controller adapted to receive bolus data stored on the implantable drug pump when the communications link has been established, to process the bolus data, and to control the display device to generate a visual representation of numbers of bolus attempts for multiple periodic time intervals.

Abstract: An ambulatory infusing device including a housing, a reservoir defining an interior volume, a wall associated with the housing and having an inner surface that faces into the reservoir interior volume, and a filter assembly. The filter assembly may include a filter assembly housing with a housing filter portion having a filter supporting volume, a filter located within the filter supporting volume, and a bubble guard, including a bubble guard wall and at least one bubble guard aperture that extends through the bubble guard wall, associated with the filter assembly housing such that the bubble guard wall is located in spaced relation to the filter.

Abstract: An ambulatory infusing device including a housing, a reservoir defining an interior volume, a wall associated with the housing and having an inner surface that faces into the reservoir interior volume, and a filter assembly. The filter assembly may include a filter assembly housing with a housing filter portion having a free end associated with the inner surface of the wall and a filter supporting volume that extends to the free end of the housing filter portion, and a filter located within the filter supporting volume that extends to at least the free end of the housing filter portion.

Abstract: A drug delivery device which includes a fluid drug reservoir, a catheter, a controllable fluid transfer device, e.g., a pump mechanism or valve, and a drug delivery control means: The drug delivery control means comprises a controller, e.g., a microprocessor or microcontroller which is operable to automatically reduce the rate of drug delivery over a certain reduction interval (e.g., multiple days) from an initial dosage value to a final dosage value.

Abstract: Valves, valved fluid transfer devices and ambulatory infusion devices including the same.

Abstract: A drug delivery safety system includes a programmer with a display and a communications device adapted to communicate with an ambulatory medical device. The programmer has access to a database of information, and is adapted to receive and process the information and a user input and to control the display to provide a graphical user interface that prompts a user of the programmer to provide an additional user input when the user input requests a drug delivery protocol for the ambulatory medical device that is not already stored in the database as a clinician-approved drug delivery protocol.
