Modular infusion device and method
First Claim
1. A device for delivering fluid comprising:
- A) a disposable assembly including, an exit port assembly, a dispenser for controlling fluid flow to the exit port assembly, and a housing containing the exit port assembly and the dispenser;
B) a reusable assembly including, a local processor connectable to the dispenser upon attachment of the reusable assembly and the disposable assembly and programmed to cause fluid flow to the exit port assembly through the dispenser based upon flow instructions, a local wireless communication element connected to the local processor for receiving flow instructions from a remote wireless device, and a housing containing the local processor and the local wireless communication element and adapted to removably attach to the housing of the disposable assembly; and
C) a power source contained in the disposable assembly for providing power to the reusable assembly upon attachment of the reusable assembly and the disposable assembly.

Abstract
A device for delivering fluid including a disposable assembly having an exit port assembly and a metering portion of a dispenser for controlling fluid flow to the exit port assembly, and a reusable assembly having a control portion of the dispenser adapted to control the metering portion of the dispenser upon attachment of the reusable assembly and the disposable assembly, a local processor connected to the dispenser and programmed to cause fluid flow to the exit port assembly through the dispenser based upon flow instructions, and a local wireless communication element connected to the local processor for receiving flow instructions from a remote wireless device. The assemblies are adapted to be removably attached, and a power source is contained in the disposable assembly for providing power to the reusable assembly upon attachment of the reusable assembly and the disposable assembly.
