Abstract: A filling aid assembly (1) for filling a liquid into a reservoir (101) of a patch pump (100) comprising a piston (102) arranged within the reservoir (101) comprises a lid part (2) configured to be arranged on top of the patch pump (100), the lid part having an opening (21) for accessing the reservoir when the lid part (2) is arranged on top of the patch pump (100) to enable fluidic exchange between the reservoir (101) and a pre-filled container (10) containing the liquid. The filling aid assembly further comprises a dial ring (4) and a transmission gear assembly (5) that is in engagement with an internal gearing (41) of the dial ring (4) to translate a rotational movement of the dial ring (4) into a displacement of the piston (102) within the reservoir (101).

Abstract: A patch-like medical device comprises a base (10) having a contact surface (11) configured to be directed towards a patient's skin, an housing upper part (3), a needle (12) fixedly positioned relative to the base (10), a needle protection mechanism comprising a rotating sleeve (30) performing a helical movement with respect to the base (10) to cause a needle protection sleeve (20) to move from the first position to the second position, a housing coupling mechanism to secure the base (10) to the housing part (3), a drive train for moving a piston within a reservoir (4) of the patch-like medical device, the drive train comprising a self-aligning plug part and sleeve part, and a venting arrangement formed in the base (10).

Abstract: An insulin pump comprises a pump device, a control for the pump device, a memory, an operating element for operating the insulin pump and a method for controlling a user interface of the insulin pump are disclosed. The control is designed and programmed such that options for the user of the insulin pump are displayed by the user interface as a function of a user-specific preference profile stored in the memory and as a function of a current time and are provided for selection by using the operating element. The insulin pump can be designed in an auto-adaptive fashion, such that the control continuously updates the user-specific preference profile based on analyzing operating inputs of the user. Embodiments of the invention allow a large range of functions and simple operation, even in the case of miniaturized pumps.

Abstract: A compact and one time use, self-administration device (10) for administering medication is disclosed. The device includes a housing (12) having a start button (26), a status indicator (28), a window (30), and a surface removably attachable to a user. The device (10) has a cartridge holder (34) providing in an aseptic environment a cartridge (32) containing the medication. The cartridge (32) is viewable through the cartridge holder (34) and the window (30). An included drive unit (42) provides a movable plunger (126) that breaks through a sterile barrier (130) of the cartridge holder (34) to dispense the medication from the cartridge (32) to an hollow needle (38) for administering the medication into the user.
