Abstract: A transfer station for transferring a medical fluid between at least one supply container and at least one administration container of an infusion device is described. In an embodiment, the transfer station comprises at least one supply port configured for fluidic connection of the at least one supply container to the transfer station, and at least one exit port configured for fluidic connection of the at least one administration container to the transfer station. A transfer mechanism for automatically transferring a predetermined amount of medical fluid from the at least one supply container to the at least one administration container, and an electronic processing unit connected to an actuation means are provided with the transfer station. A processing unit controls the transfer mechanism and fluid transfer conditions according to a predetermined transfer demand entered by the actuation means.

Abstract: A cradle and methods of using embodiments of the cradle are described. The cradle has a proximal side and a distal side, where the proximal side has a skin attachment member for releasable attachment to a patient's skin. The distal side includes a device attachment member configured to attach an initially separate medical device. The cradle comprises an electronically controlled optical indication device, the electronically controlled optical indication device being configured to provide optical indications to the patient when the cradle is attached to the patient's skin.

Abstract: A therapeutic system in an exemplary embodiment comprises a fluid delivery device having a fluid reservoir, an outlet port with a lumen for outputting fluid from the reservoir, a pump for pumping the fluid through the lumen and a controller for controlling the therapeutic system. The therapeutic system may also comprise an adaptor for an infusion set, the adaptor having a plug operable for attaching to the outlet port, and wherein the adaptor has an adaptor septum operable for being pierced by the lumen when attached to the outlet port. The therapeutic system comprises an infusion set recognition system, wherein the controller is operable to query the infusion set recognition system for infusion set data, wherein the infusion set data comprises an infusion set type, wherein the controller is operable to operate the pump to provide a basal dosage of the fluid if the infusion set type is not recognized.

Abstract: An inserter and methods of using embodiments of the inserter are described. The inserter includes a housing having a cannula assembly and an insertion mechanism. Two buttons are located on the inserter and are concomitantly actionable for actuation of the insertion mechanism, wherein the insertion mechanism is configured to place a cannula assembly in a well that is disposed on the cradle. The inserter also includes a first parts and second part, whereby the first part includes a handle and the second part comprises the entire insertion mechanism, whereby the first and second part are connected via an indentation.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are described herein for adjusting the insertion depth of a cannula associated with a portable therapeutic device within the body of a patient. The systems may include a mounting unit securable to the skin of the patient and having a mounting base and a well defining a passageway through the mounting base and a cannula unit including a cannula subcutaneously insertable through the well of the mounting unit. The well may have an adjustable height and/or adjustable anchoring mechanisms that allow for varying and customized insertion depths of the cannula within the body of the patient.
