RESERVOIR BARRIER LAYER SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A system for containing fluidic media, the system comprising:
- a base;
a reservoir body having an interior volume for containing fluidic media, the reservoir body configured to be attachable and detachable from the base; and
a plunger head located in the reservoir body, the plunger head operatively connected to the base;
at least one of the plunger head and the reservoir body configured to be moveable relative to one another to reduce a retaining force between the plunger head and the reservoir body;
wherein at least one of the plunger head and the reservoir body is configured to be moved relative to one another in response to at least one of detaching the reservoir body from the base, removing one of the base and the reservoir body from a packaging, and manually moving one of the reservoir body and the base relative to the other.

Abstract
A reservoir and a plunger head contained within may be configured to move relative to each other in response to at least one of the reservoir being detached from a base, the base and/or the reservoir being removed from a packaging, and the base and/or the reservoir being moved relative to each other. A first layer may be configured to define a reservoir, the first layer, which may be made of a material compatible with fluidic media in the reservoir, may be adjacent a second layer for inhibiting a diffusion through the second layer. A first layer that may be less than 0.3 mm and made of a cyclic olefin copolymer may be configured to define a reservoir. A reservoir may be defined by a wall made of a cyclic olefin copolymer and the wall may be for substantially preventing light from passing through the reservoir.
