  • Publication number: 20140194812
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a medicament pump cartridge may include a reservoir configured to store a medicament, wherein the reservoir may be configured to transition between an expanded configuration when filled with medicament and a collapsed configuration when empty. The medicament pump cartridge may include an electromagnetic pumping mechanism, wherein the electromagnetic pumping mechanism includes at least one magnet secured to a membrane. Further, the medicament pump cartridge may include an electromagnetic valve operably coupled to the electromagnetic pumping mechanism. The pump cartridge may be configured to allow for secured refills through compatible ports. The pump cartridge may include light indicators for ports/orifice that communicate with pump, and possess sensor volumetric feedback for continuous monitoring of the medicament volume.

  • Publication number: 20140107589
    Abstract: A valve assembly may include a valve body defining a housing for receiving a plunger, wherein the valve body includes an inlet channel and an outlet channel in selective fluid communication with the inlet channel. The valve assembly may also include a deflectable membrane operably coupled to the plunger, wherein the membrane is configured to selectively prevent fluid flow from the inlet channel to the outlet channel. Furthermore, the valve assembly may include an electromagnet for controlling a position of the plunger.

  • Publication number: 20130274577
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to medical devices and, in particular, to devices for delivery of basal and/or bolus doses of one or more medicaments to a patient. In one embodiment, a medical device for delivering a medicament to the body of a user may include a reservoir configured to contain the medicament, a delivery mechanism for channeling the medicament from the reservoir to the user, a pumping mechanism for pumping the medicament from the reservoir, through the delivery mechanism, and to the user, wherein the medical device may be configured to deliver a dose of the medicament to the user. The medical device may also include a sensor for monitoring a parameter of the body and a display of information to alert and keep the user informed.

  • Publication number: 20130237947
    Abstract: A cartridge system of a multi-ported drug delivery device with independently actuated collapsible reservoirs, for delivery of medicaments, which includes membranes placed between disk magnets that are housed within pump body inserts. The pump body inserts having flow channels and fluid openings are between two inlet/outlet members with communication control through active valves and dynamically stressed membranes. The inlet/outlet members of the cartridge system each having a fluid outlet component and fluid openings are securely engaged to two or more reservoirs containing fluid medicaments. The cartridge system driven by the pump driver system delivers an appropriate dosage of medicament for treatment prescribed.

  • Publication number: 20130144254
    Abstract: A drug delivery device for delivery of medicament having a delivery pump system and a cartridge system, the delivery pump system operating electromagnetically by driving two disk magnets that are housed within pump body inserts of the cartridge system. The displacement of the magnets and an elastomer membrane placed between the magnets of the cartridge system results in a volumetric change within two reservoirs and the flow of medicaments. The medicament flows from the reservoirs to the inlet/outlet members via the pump body inserts and discharged to a patient user's body through an infusion set.
