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.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A therapeutic system comprising:
a fluid delivery device, wherein the fluid delivery device comprises:
a fluid reservoir for storing a fluid;
an outlet port with a lumen for outputting the fluid from the reservoir, wherein the outlet port is formed on an exterior surface of the fluid delivery device;
a pump for pumping the fluid through the lumen;
a controller for controlling the therapeutic system, wherein the controller is operable for regulating the pumping of fluid through the lumen;

an adaptor for an infusion set, wherein the adaptor comprises a plug operable for attaching to the outlet port, and wherein the adaptor comprises an adaptor septum operable for being pierced by the lumen when attached to the outlet port;
an infusion set recognition system, wherein the controller is further 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 further operable to operate the pump to provide a basal dosage of the fluid if the infusion set type is not recognized;
a tube port which comprises a tube port lumen;
a tube with a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to the adaptor and the second end is connected to the tube port; and
a hub operable for attaching to the tube port, wherein the hub comprises a hub cannula, a hub cannula septum, and an adhesive layer for attaching to an outer surface of a subject, wherein the hub cannula septum is operable for being pierced by the tube port lumen when the hub is attached to the tube port, and wherein the hub is further operable for attaching to the outlet port, wherein the hub cannula septum is operable for being pierced by the lumen.

2. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the infusion set recognition system is one of an RFID system, a bar code reader, a hologram recognition system, an electronic plug incorporated into the outlet port, a mechanical coupling arrangement or a combination thereof.

3. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic system further comprises the infusion set, wherein the infusion set further comprises an information carrier for storing the infusion set data, wherein the infusion set recognition system is adapted for retrieving the infusion set data from the information carrier by querying the infusion set.

4. The therapeutic system of claim 3 , wherein the infusion set data comprises any one of the following: sterility state, therapeutic system compatibility data or code, approved use data or code, lot number, batch number, hose diameter, manufacturer, approved therapy data or code, and combinations thereof.

5. The therapeutic system of claim 3 , wherein the infusion set recognition system is further operable for writing usage data to the information carrier, wherein the usage data comprises any one of the following: prior use and cumulative use, wherein the infusion set adaptor is further operable to query previously written usage data.

6. The therapeutic system of claim 5 , wherein the controller is operable to disable and/or display a warning on a display in accordance with the previously written usage data.

7. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the controller comprises a memory, wherein the controller is operable for recording utilization data of the infusion set and the infusion set data in the memory.

8. The therapeutic system of claim 7 , wherein the therapeutic system is operable for sending the utilization data and the infusion set data to a computer system.

9. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the infusion set data further comprises a software update, and wherein the controller is operable for controlling the operation of the pump in accordance with the software update.

10. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic system further comprises a cradle for supporting the fluid delivery device, wherein the cradle and the fluid delivery device are operable for forming an interlocking connection for removably affixing the fluid delivery device to the cradle, wherein the cradle comprises an adhesive layer for attaching to the outer surface of a subject, wherein the cradle further comprises a passageway operable for attaching to the outlet port and for receiving a cannula with a cannula septum operable for being pierced by the lumen when attached to the outlet port.

11. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the adaptor further comprises a tube mount operable for mounting to an infusion set tube.

12. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic system further comprises the infusion set attached to the adaptor.

13. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the tube is any one of the following: is spiral shaped, is contained within a spring loaded spool, has a convoluted shape, and is attached to an elastic strap.

14. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the outlet port further comprises a first electrical connector, and wherein the adaptor further comprises a second electrical connector operable for forming an electrical connection with the first electrical connector for transmitting a sensor signal to the processor.

15. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic system further comprises the infusion set, wherein the infusion set comprises a sensor.

16. The therapeutic system of claim 15 , wherein the sensor is an occlusion sensor or a flow sensor, wherein the controller is further operable to: receive the sensor signal from the sensor; detect an occlusion condition using the sensor signal; and generate a warning message if the occlusion condition is detected.

17. The therapeutic system of claim 15 , wherein the sensor is a subcutaneous sensor; wherein the controller is further operable to receive the sensor signal; wherein the controller is further operable to perform any one of the following: log the sensor signal; and adjust the pumping of fluid through the lumen in accordance with the sensor signal.

18. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic system further comprises a network adaptor for communicating with a computer, wherein the controller is further operable to identify an alert condition and send an alert notification message to the computer using the network adaptor.

19. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the fluid delivery device comprises a reusable portion and a disposable portion, wherein the reusable portion comprises: the pump, a memory, and a processor; and wherein the disposable portion comprises the fluid reservoir.

20. The therapeutic system of claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic system further comprises a support garment operable for supporting the fluid delivery device.
