Modular drug delivery system
First Claim
1. A modular system for delivering a drug to a user, comprising:
- at least first and second control units each comprising a control means providing one or more control commands, a reservoir unit comprising a reservoir adapted to contain a liquid drug and comprising, in a situation of use, an associated outlet, the reservoir unit being adapted to receive at least one control command from a control unit and perform an action in response thereto, a pump for expelling a drug out of the reservoir through the outlet, wherein the reservoir unit and the respective control units comprise a mating coupling allowing a control unit to be secured to the reservoir unit, wherein the reservoir unit and a control unit can be mated to provide a combination thereof, wherein each combination of the reservoir unit and a control unit provides a combination with different capabilities depending on which control unit of the system is actually mated with the reservoir unit, and wherein each combination is provided with an adhesive for attaching the combination to the skin of the user.

Abstract
The invention relates to a modular drug delivery system, comprising a reservoir unit and a control unit in combination with at least one further reservoir or control unit, whereby each combination of a reservoir unit and a control provides different capabilities. More specifically, the present invention provides a system for delivering a drug to a user, comprising a reservoir unit, a control unit, and at least one further reservoir unit or control unit, wherein each reservoir unit is adapted to receive at least one command from a control unit and perform an action in response thereto, and comprises a reservoir adapted to contain a liquid drug and includes, in a situation of use, associated outlet means. The system further comprises expelling means for expelling a drug out of the reservoir through the outlet means. Each control unit comprises control means providing one or more commands for controlling the operation of a reservoir unit, wherein each combination of a reservoir unit and a control unit is adapted to provide a system with different capabilities.
