21. An infusion device, comprising:
-
a fluid transfer device including a pump, and a valve, associated with the pump, having a valve base defining a lumen having an outlet and a seal surface that extends around the lumen outlet, and a resilient structure, mounted in tension on the valve base, including a valve member movable between a closed state where the valve member engages the seal surface and an open state where at least a portion of the valve member is spaced apart from the seal surface; an infusion device outlet operably connected to the fluid transfer device; and a reservoir operably connected to the fluid transfer device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. An infusion device, comprising:
-
a fluid transfer device having an inlet valve including a valve base defining a lumen having an outlet and a seal surface that extends around the lumen outlet, and a resilient membrane including a least one narrow opening, mounted on the valve base, and a valve member associated with the narrow opening and movable between a closed state where the valve member engages the seal surface and an open state where at least a portion of the valve member is spaced apart from the seal surface, and a pump including an inlet chamber adjacent to the resilient membrane, and a piston including an end surface that is biased to a position where the end surface the holds the valve member against the seal surface and is movable to a pull-back position where the end surface is in spaced relation to the resilient structure; an infusion device outlet operably connected to the fluid transfer device; and a reservoir operably connected to the inlet valve of the fluid transfer device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
