Medical Apparatus Having Infusion and Detection Capabilities
First Claim
1. Medical apparatus for supplying a medication fluid into an organism and for detecting a substance of the organism, the medical apparatus comprising:
- a casing having a chamber for accommodating the medication fluid and having an opening in fluid communication with the chamber;
a cannula having a lumen being in fluid communication with the chamber;
an insertion needle having a receptacle, wherein at least a portion of the insertion needle is removably arrangeable within the lumen of the cannula;
a sensor system for detecting the substance of the organism, wherein the receptacle of the insertion needle is configured to removably at least partially receive the sensor system; and
a seal, wherein the seal is adapted to annularly sealingly surround the insertion needle, when the insertion needle is arranged in the opening of the sensor system, when the insertion needle is removed from the opening and the portion of the sensor system is arranged in the opening.

Abstract
A medical apparatus for supplying a medication fluid into an organism and for detecting a substance of the organism is disclosed. The medical apparatus has a casing, cannula, and an insertion needle. The casing has a chamber accommodating the medication fluid and an opening in fluid communication with the chamber. The cannula has a lumen in fluid communication with the chamber. The insertion needle has a receptacle. A portion of the insertion needle is removably arrangeable within the lumen. The receptacle is configured to at least partially receive a sensor system for detecting the substance of the organism. A seal is adapted to annularly sealingly surround a portion of the sensor system when the insertion needle is removed from the opening and the portion of the sensor system is arranged in the opening.

31. Method for supplying a medication fluid into an organism and for detecting a substance of the organism, the method comprising:
-
providing an insertion needle, having a receptacle, in an opening being in fluid communication with a chamber of a casing, the chamber being provided for accommodating the medication fluid, wherein a sensor system is at least partially received in the receptacle; wherein at least a portion of the insertion needle is removably arranged within a lumen of a cannula, wherein the lumen of the cannula is in fluid communication with the chamber; annularly sealingly surrounding, by the seal, the insertion needle when the insertion needle is arranged in the opening; removing the insertion needle from the opening; annularly sealingly surrounding, by the seal, a portion of the sensor system when the insertion needle is removed from the opening and the portion of the sensor system is arranged in the opening; detecting the substance of the organism using the sensor system; and supplying the medication fluid into an organism via the cannula. - View Dependent Claims (32)
