Abstract: A modular infusion pump for administering a product, including a pump housing, a reservoir to contain the product, a delivery device associated with the pump housing to deliver the product from the reservoir, an energy source for the delivery device, another housing separate from the pump housing for receiving the energy source, and a transmission for transmitting energy from the energy source to the delivery device.

Abstract: A device and method for stimulating tissue to improve the resorption kinetics of an active substance. The device and method can include an infusion set having a main body, a cannula, and a base plate through which the cannula projects so that the cannula can puncture into a tissue of an animal to deliver the active substance.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for recording data are described herein. In one embodiment a method for recording data for keeping a diary may include: storing primary data indicative of a measured blood glucose level and/or an administrated dose of insulin in a memory of an electronic diary device; receiving a spoken voice message with a microphone, wherein the spoken voice message is indicative of supplementary data directly related to the primary data; and storing the supplementary data in the memory of the electronic diary device, wherein the primary data is stored with a primary time stamp and the supplementary data is stored with the primary data, the primary time stamp or a supplementary time stamp.

Abstract: A device for administering an injectable product in doses including a casing, a container for the product, accommodated by the casing, from which container product is delivered through an opening of the container by moving a piston accommodated in the container toward the opening, and a drive for causing the delivery of the product wherein the drive moves the container relative to the casing and the piston.

Abstract: A device for the dosed output of a substance, the device involving hydrogel-based osmotic drive, wherein output characteristics of the device, including a time profile, may be adjusted by a user. In some embodiments, the device may be used once and, in other embodiments, it may be used several times.

Abstract: An administering device with an osmotic drive for administering an injectable product includes a housing with a first chamber containing a solvent, a second chamber containing a solution and a product chamber for accommodating the product. A semi-permeable membrane is disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The second chamber is adjoined by a delivery means for delivering product out of the product chamber. A triggering device for triggering the osmotic drive includes an impermeable separating means between the first chamber and the second chamber. The delivery means is slidable relative to the housing along a longitudinal axis of the housing.

Abstract: A device for automated subcutaneous delivery of insulin into a patient's body, wherein the device includes an infusion cannula for subcutaneous introduction of the insulin into the body, an insulin reservoir having an amount of insulin which is non-fatal for a person on short-duration subcutaneous administration, and an automated conveying device for conveying the insulin from the reservoir to the infusion cannula which, after manual actuation by the patient, starts automatically conveying the insulin, after a delay of from four to eight hours, and conveys the complete amount of insulin in the reservoir to the infusion cannula within a period not exceeding four hours. Methods of making and using the device are encompassed.
