Medical Device Mechanical Pump
First Claim
1. A medical device pump comprising:
- a housing with a compartment therein, the compartment configured for accommodating a cartridge containing a therapeutic agent;
a conduit configured to operatively provide a fluid flow path for therapeutic agent to exit from the cartridge;
a user activated delivery button;
a trigger mechanism, anda mechanical pump mechanism,wherein the trigger mechanism, user activated delivery button and mechanical pump mechanism are configured such that the trigger mechanism is activated by a user fully activating the user activated delivery button and such full activation generates mechanical power employed by, and sufficient for, the mechanical pump mechanism to pump a predetermined volume of therapeutic agent from the cartridge into the fluid flow path.

Abstract
A medical device pump with a housing with a compartment for removably receiving a cartridge containing a therapeutic agent, a conduit configured to operatively provide a fluid flow path for therapeutic agent to exit from the cartridge, a user activated delivery button, a trigger mechanism, and a mechanical pump mechanism. The trigger mechanism, user activated delivery button and mechanical pump mechanism of the medical device pump are configured such that the trigger mechanism is activated by a user fully activating the user activated delivery button. Moreover, such full activation generates mechanical power employed by, and sufficient for, the mechanical pump mechanism to pump a predetermined volume of therapeutic agent from the cartridge and through the fluid flow path.

19. A method for transcutaneously delivering a therapeutic agent to a patient comprising:
-
inserting a cartridge pre-filled with a therapeutic agent into a cartridge compartment of a medical device pump; priming the medical device pump; and transutaneously delivering the therapeutic agent to a patient by action of the patient fully activating a user activated delivery button of the medical device pump, thus activating a trigger mechanism of the medical device pump and generating mechanical power employed by, and sufficient for, a mechanical pump mechanism of the medical device pump to pump a predetermined volume of therapeutic agent from the cartridge and into a fluid flow path of the medical device pump. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
