Abstract

A device to co-deliver at least two medicaments is disclosed where a first reservoir containing a primary medicament is connected to a manifold and cannula and where one or more additional reservoirs are placed in fluid communication with the manifold in parallel or inline flow. The additional reservoir(s) can be located within the device or as part of an attachable medicated module that connects to external port located on the device housing. Both medicaments are delivered through a cannula subcutaneously. The device is configured to be user wearable through attachment directly to the skin by an adhesive.

Claims

1. A drug delivery device comprising,

a. a housing having a bottom surface configured to removably attach directly to a user'"'"'s skin;

b. a medicament manifold contained within the housing;

c. a single dispense interface having a distal end and a proximal end, where the proximal end is fluidly connected to the manifold and the distal end protrudes through the housing and is configured for subcutaneous placement in a user'"'"' skin;

d. a first reservoir and a second reservoir each connected to the manifold; and

e. a pump connected to the first reservoir configured to continuously dispense a primary medicament contained in the first reservoir through the manifold into the proximal end of the single dispense interface and then out the distal end.

2. The device of claim 1 further comprising a second pump connected to the second reservoir configured to dispense a secondary medicament contained in the second reservoir.

3. The device of claim 1 where the single dispense interface comprises a needle cannula.

4. The device of claim 1 where the second reservoir comprises at least one dose.

5. The device of claim 1 where the second reservoir contains a filling port configured to allow filling of the second reservoir with a secondary medicament from a external source of secondary medicament located outside of the housing.

6. The device of claim 1 where the second reservoir has an inlet and an outlet and is replaceable through a loading port in the housing, where the second reservoir is connected to the manifold such that primary medicament flowing from the first reservoir flows in the inlet and out the outlet of the secondary reservoir.

7. The device of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of reservoirs connected to the manifold in parallel with the second reservoir and where the first reservoir comprises a cartridge with at least one dose.

9. The device of claim 1 where the distal end of the single dispense interface comprises a cannula that protrudes through the bottom surface of the housing and is configured to dispense the primary and secondary medicaments subcutaneously.

10. The device of claim 6, further comprising a movable (rotatable or sliding) inner housing having two flow path positions;

wherein in a first position the second reservoir is placed in-line with the first reservoir and in a second position the second reservoir is placed out of line with the first reservoir.

11. The device of claim 10, wherein the inner housing has been rotated about axis to place the second reservoir in-line with the manifold such that the primary medicament will dispense, flush, or drive the secondary medicament from the second reservoir.

12. The device of claim 10, wherein the inner housing further comprise a flow path, wherein when the inner housing is in the second position, flow path is placed in-line with manifold.

13. The device of claim 10 wherein repositioning of the inner housing into the second position allows for the replacement of reservoir through an opening (not sown) in the housing.

8. A drug delivery device comprising,

a. a housing having a bottom surface configured to removably attach directly to a user'"'"'s skin;

b. a medicament manifold contained within the housing;

c. a single dispense interface having a distal end and a proximal end, where the proximal end is fluidly connected to the manifold and the distal end protrudes through the housing;

d. a first reservoir connected to the manifold;

e. an attachment port on the housing configured for fluid communication with the manifold and to allow removable attachment of a medicated module containing a reservoir of secondary medicament, where the secondary medicament is placed in fluid communication with the manifold; and

e. a pump connected to the first reservoir configured to continuously dispense a primary medicament contained in the first reservoir through the manifold into the proximal end of the single dispense interface and then out the distal end, where the secondary medicament in the manifold also flows through the proximal end of the single dispense interface.
