EXTRA-CORPOREALLY PORTABLE INFUSION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A portable medical apparatus for administering a fluid drug in doses, comprising:
- a first housing including a reservoir unit with an outlet into a fluid path for conducting the drug;
a second housing including a conveying unit for dispensing the drug from the reservoir unit in doses and a suitable controller for controlling the conveying unit; and
an adaptor including a coupling structure for receiving the first housing and the second housing and an attaching structure for extra-corporeally attaching the adaptor to a patient;
wherein the conveying unit and the reservoir unit can be joined together to form an integrated mechanical and fluidic unit, and coupled to and decoupled from at least two differently configured adaptors, wherein at least one of the adaptors is configured to be directly attached to the surface of the skin of the patient and at least one of the adaptors is configured to be worn on or carried by article of clothing or an accessory used by the patient.

2. A portable medical apparatus for administering a fluid drug in doses, comprising:
-
a) a first housing comprising a reservoir unit including an outlet into a fluid path located downstream of the reservoir unit for conducting the drug; b) a second housing comprising a conveying unit for dispensing the drug from the reservoir unit in doses and means for controlling the conveying unit; c) an adaptor comprising coupling means for receiving the first housing together with the reservoir unit and the second housing together with the conveying unit, said adaptor being provided in at least two configurations; and d) attaching means for extra-corporeally carrying the adaptor on the patient;
whereine) the conveying unit and the reservoir unit can be joined together to form a mechanical and fluidic overall unit, without using tools, and coupled to and decoupled from at least two differently embodied adaptors and can thus be joined together with the respective adaptor to form a mechanical and fluidic overall unit, without using tools, and wherein at least one of the adaptors is provided for direct attaching to the surface of the skin and at least one of the other adaptors can be worn on an item of clothing or carried by a wearing system. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
