Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure may include a medical device for delivering medicament to a body of a user. The device may include a connector for channeling a fluid from a fluid source and a device platform configured to receive the fluid via the connector. The device platform may contact the user'"'"'s body. The device may further include one or more fluid cannulae coupled to and extending from the device platform and configured for insertion into the body. The fluid cannulae may be configured to receive the fluid from the device platform. The device may also include one or more channels configured to channel the fluid through the connector, into the device platform, into the one or more fluid cannulae, and into the body. The device may also include one or more sensors coupled to the device platform and configured for monitoring a parameter of the body.

Claims

1. A medical device for delivering medicament to a body of a user, the medical device comprising:

one or more fluid cannulae coupled to and extending from the device platform, the one or more fluid cannulae being configured to receive the fluid from the device platform and configured for insertion into the body of the user;

one or more channels for delivering the fluid to the body of the user, the one or more channels being configured to channel the fluid through the connector, into the device platform, and into the one or more fluid cannulae; and

one or more sensors coupled to the device platform and configured for monitoring a parameter of the body.

2. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors are included in a sensor cannula coupled to the device platform and the sensor cannula is configured for insertion into the body of the user.

3. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors are wirelessly coupled to a controller located external to the medical device.

4. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors include a continuous blood glucose monitor and the fluid includes insulin.

5. The medical device of claim 1, wherein the one or more channels include at least one channel configured to carry one or more sensor wires from the one or more sensors, through the device platform, through the connector, and to a proximal region of the medical device.

6. The medical device of claim 1, wherein data received from the one or more sensors are used to control the delivery of fluid to the user.

7. A medical device for delivering medicament to a body of a user, the medical device comprising:

a connector for channeling at least a first fluid and a second fluid from one or more fluid sources;

a device platform configured to receive the first fluid and the second fluid from the connector, the device platform being configured to contact the body of the user;

one or more cannulae coupled to the device platform, at least one of the one or more cannulae being configured to receive the first fluid and the second fluid from the device platform and configured for insertion into the body of the user; and

one or more channels for delivering the first fluid and the second fluid to the body of the user, the one or more channels being configured to channel the first fluid and the second fluid through the connector, into the device platform, and into the one or more cannulae.

8. The medical device of claim 7, wherein the first fluid and the second fluid are different types of medicaments.

9. The medical device of claim 7, wherein the one or more channels includes a first channel for carrying the first fluid and a second channel for carrying the second fluid, and wherein the first fluid and the second fluid are delivered separately to the body of the user.

10. The medical device of claim 7, wherein the one or more channels includes a first channel for carrying the first fluid and a second channel for carrying the second fluid, and wherein the first channel and the second channel join together inside of the medical device to form a combined channel, such that the first fluid and the second fluid are carried together in the combined channel.

11. The medical device of claim 10 wherein the device platform further comprises a mixing chamber configured to mix the first fluid and the second fluid;

wherein the first channel and the second channel are configured to channel the first fluid and the second fluid into the mixing chamber; and

the combined channel is configured to channel the first fluid and the second fluid into the one or more cannulae for delivery of the first fluid and the second fluid to the body of the user.

12. A medical device for delivering medicament to a body of a user, the medical device comprising:

a connector for channeling a fluid from a fluid source;

a device platform configured to receive the fluid from the connector, the device platform being configured to attach to the body of the user;

one or more cannulae coupled to the device platform, at least one of the one or more cannulae being configured to receive the fluid from the device platform and configured for insertion into the user; and

one or more channels for delivering the fluid to the body of the user, the one or more channels being configured to channel the fluid through the connector, into the device platform, and into at least one of the one or more cannulae;

wherein the device platform is configured to rotate such that the one or more cannulae is configured to be withdrawn from the body of the user, such that the one or more cannulae rotates with the device platform, and such that the one or more cannulae is configured to be re-inserted into the body of the user in a different location without detaching the device platform from the body of the user.

13. The medical device of claim 12, wherein the device platform is configured to allow a user to increase or decrease the angle of insertion of the one or more cannulae into the body of the user.

14. The medical device of claim 12, wherein the device platform includes gaps through which the one or more cannulae may extend to contact the body of the user.

15. The medical device of claim 12, wherein the one or more channels extend in an arc around a portion of the device platform such that the length of the one or more channels in the device platform corresponds to the full range of rotation at which the one or ore cannulae coupled to the device platform can be rotated.

16. The medical device of claim 12 further comprising:

a locking mechanism configured to prevent further rotation of the device platform once a desired rotational position has been achieved.

17. The medical device of claim 12, further comprising a sensor operably coupled to the device platform and configured to measure a parameter of the user.

18. The medical device of claim 17, wherein the sensor is disposable.

19. The medical device of claim 17, wherein the sensor is configured to attach to the body of the user, the device platform is configured to rotate, and the sensor is configured to be detached from the body of the user, rotate with the device platform to a new location, and re-attached to the body of the user in the new location, without removing the device platform from the body of the user.
