  • Publication number: 20240110551
    Abstract: A hard seal, positive displacement pump is provided which may be included within a fluid delivery system. The pump includes a housing, a sleeve disposed radially within the housing, and a piston disposed radially within the sleeve. An outer shape of a first end of the sleeve contacts a correspondingly-shaped inner shape of a first end of the housing, thereby sealing the first end of the sleeve within the first end of the housing. The piston is radially and axially moveable within the sleeve, and an axially-reciprocating motion of the piston within the sleeve opens and closes a pump chamber defined between a first end of the piston and a first end of the sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20230321341
    Abstract: A pump for the pumping small volumes of medical fluid is provided. The pump has a manifold chamber having an inlet port and an outlet port. Within the manifold chamber, a cannula having input and output holes oriented with respect to the inlet and outlet ports is rotated within the manifold chamber, and translated axially in a reciprocating manner. The input opening of the cannula overlaps with the inlet port as the manifold chamber volume is increasing to draw fluid into the manifold chamber from the input port. The output opening of the cannula chamber overlaps with the output port as the manifold chamber volume is decreasing to force fluid out of the manifold chamber to the outlet port. The cannula may be formed from metal needle stock.

  • Publication number: 20230313787
    Abstract: A rotary pump for a fluid metering system is provided. The rotary pump reciprocates, and is reversed by a signal from a limit switch that is deflected by an actuator arm on a rotating sleeve of the pump system. The rotary pump includes a plunger and optional stopper formed from a two-shot molding process, and including seals overmolded onto the head of the plunger and the head of the optional stopper.

  • Patent number: 11491274
    Abstract: A low medicament sensor for a medicament delivery device having a reservoir, a pump, and a fluid path therebetween for medicament, the sensor including a switch and a snap dome. The snap dome is initially in contact with the switch, in fluid communication with the fluid path, and configured to snap out of contact with the switch when a pressure within the snap dome decreases below a predetermined pressure.
