Abstract
A disposable fluid container (20) comprises an integrated pump motive assembly (50) for pumping fluid from an interior of the container. In some example embodiments, the integrated pump motive assembly (50) is situated at least partially within the container housing, e.g., at least partially or even completely submerged inside a fluid reservoir (30) defined by the container housing (22). In other example embodiments, the pump motive assembly is outside the fluid reservoir (30), yet still integrally formed with the container. In yet other embodiments, the pump motive assembly is in a lid (194) of the container. As one aspect of this disposable pump-integrated container technology, the pump motive assembly comprises a displaceable electrodynamic actuator, such as (for example) piezoelectric diaphragm pump, taking any of various configurations. As another and distinct aspect of this disposable pump-integrated container technology, the pump motive assembly is connected via an electrical lead (78) and/or terminal (80) to receive pump driving signals from outside the container.
