  • Publication number: 20230055834
    Abstract: Various exemplary liquid drug pumps including user feedback indicating pump orientation are provided. In general, a pump configured to deliver a liquid drug to a patient includes a user interface configured to indicate an orientation of the pump. The pump also includes a reservoir configured to contain the drug therein, a conduit configured to receive the drug therein from the reservoir, a needle or cannula in fluid communication with the conduit and configured to deliver the drug therethrough to a patient wearing the pump, a fluid path fluidly connecting the reservoir and the needle or cannula, and a pumping assembly configured to pump the fluid through the fluid path from the reservoir to the needle or cannula. The user interface indicating the pump's orientation allows a user of the pump to know whether or not the pump is in a desired orientation for delivery of the drug to the patient.

  • Publication number: 20230001081
    Abstract: Various exemplary pumps with orientation independent liquid drug accessibility are provided. In general, a pump includes a reservoir configured to contain a liquid drug therein, a conduit configured to receive the drug therein from the reservoir, and a needle in fluid communication with the conduit and configured to deliver the drug therethrough to a patient wearing the pump. The conduit includes a mechanism configured to ensure that the conduit is in complete communication with the drug in the reservoir at least when the conduit is receiving the drug therein from the reservoir regardless of the patients orientation. In one exemplary embodiment, the mechanism includes a weight attached to the conduit. In another exemplary embodiment, the mechanism includes a fork at a free end of the conduit that is located in the reservoir.
