  • Infusion device having a pusher device
    Patent number: 10973977
    Abstract: An infusion device (3) for administering a medical fluid to a patient, comprises a housing (30) and a receptacle (300) arranged on the housing (30) for receiving a syringe (4), the syringe (4) having a barrel (41) for containing a medical fluid and a plunger (42) movable relative to the barrel (41) for delivering the medical fluid out of the barrel (41). A pusher device (32) is movable relative to the housing (30) for acting onto the plunger (42) for moving the plunger (42) relative to the barrel (41), and a drive mechanism (38) drives the pusher device (32). A coupling mechanism (36, 37) is operative to couple the plunger (42) to the pusher device (32) or to couple the pusher device (32) to the drive mechanism (38), and an actuation mechanism arranged on the pusher device (32) comprises an actuation element (33) for actuating the coupling mechanism (36, 37) between a coupling state and an uncoupling state.
