  • Patent number: 7048715
    Abstract: A medication delivery system delivers medication to a patient. The system includes a base and a reservoir disposed about the base for storing the medication. A pump for delivering the medication to the patient is supported by the base. The pump includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet. A first pinch lever is disposed near the inlet and a second pinch lever is disposed near the outlet. Each of the pinch levers move between an open and closed position to control a flow of the medication into the housing. A motor operatively engages the pinch levers to move the pinch levers such that the medication can be delivered to the patient.

  • Patent number: 6908452
    Abstract: A medication delivery system delivers medication to a patient and is suitable for sterilization by a sterilization fluid. The system includes a base and a reservoir disposed about the base for storing the medication. A pump for delivering the medication to the patient is supported by the base. A port extends from the base. The port enables fluids to flow into, within, and from the medication delivery system. The Port comprises an elongated housing having a Proximate end and a distal end with a fluid chamber defined therebetween. A plurality of fluid connectors extend from the elongated housing. A plunger is disposed in the fluid chamber and defines an internal fluid bore therethrough with the internal fluid bore being in selective fluid communication with the fluid connectors as the plunger moves between an off-position, a fill-position for filling the reservoir, and a fluid delivery-position for delivering the fluid to the patient.

  • Publication number: 20040106902
    Abstract: A medication delivery system delivers medication to a patient and is suitable for sterilization by a sterilization fluid. The system includes a base and a reservoir disposed about the base for storing the medication. A pump for delivering the medication to the patient is supported by the base. The pump includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet and outlet alternate between an open and a closed state to deliver the medication. A port extends from the base. The port fluidly communicates with the reservoir and the pump during sterilization to provide access for the fluid to flow into the reservoir and the pump. An actuator is disposed in the base. The actuator operatively engages the inlet and outlet to retain them in the open state during sterilization. As such, the fluid can penetrate into the reservoir, the inlet, the housing, and the outlet to sterilize the system.
