Abstract: An improved device delivers a fluid medicament to the subcutaneous tissue of a user. The device is better suited for patients with Parkinson's Disease and other central nervous system disorders, than conventional infusion devices. The device can include a reusable part including a drive component (e.g., motor) and control electronics and a disposable part including a medicament reservoir. Medicament can be evacuated from the medicament reservoir by a plunger assembly that includes a plunger attached to a lead screw that is rotated by a nut, all within the disposable part. The device can be fluidically coupled with the tissue via a flexible cannula. Various embodiments relate to an improved cannula insertion mechanism that delivers the cannula under a force applied by a spring. Various embodiments relate to improved filling of the device, for example, using a vial adapter and an automated filling station.

Abstract: A syringe liquid adjusting device provides a first elongated chamber for reciprocally moving a plunger shaft of a syringe in the syringe barrel to thereby reduce a liquid volume in the syringe barrel from an initial liquid volume to a total liquid volume including a priming liquid volume for priming an infusion line and, in addition, an infusion liquid volume for patient infusion. The syringe liquid adjusting device additionally provides a second elongated chamber for further reciprocally moving the plunger shaft of the syringe in the syringe barrel to further reduce the liquid volume in the syringe barrel from the total liquid volume to the infusion liquid volume while priming the infusion line connected to the syringe with the priming liquid volume. The two elongated chambers may be provided by a one-member, dual-function, device, or by two, separate, members. The one-member device may provide a lengthwise variable elongated chamber.

Abstract: The application is directed to a vial adapter for attaching a medicament vial to a medicament delivery device having a reservoir adapted to receive and contain the medicament. The vial adapter can include a housing with two ports (one for attaching the reservoir and the other for attaching to the vial), a hollow needle that pierces septums sealing each of the reservoir and the vial, and a floating part that fixedly holds the hollow needle. Clearance between the floating part and the housing can enable relative movement of the floating part.
