DELIVERY OF A THERAPEUTIC FLUID
First Claim
1. A system for delivering a therapeutic fluid into a tissue comprising:
- an infusion set comprising a catheter for delivery of a dose of the therapeutic fluid into the tissue via an infusion tube;
a treatment element configured to apply a treatment to the tissue proximate to the catheter;
a catheter adaptor comprising a first transponder; and
a pump adaptor in communication with the catheter adaptor and comprising;
a second transponder configured to communicate with the first transponder, andan infusion detection sensor configured to detect an infusion of the therapeutic fluid;
wherein, upon detection of an infusion of the therapeutic fluid by the infusion detection sensor, the second transponder is configured to communicate a signal indicative of the detected infusion to the first transponder, wherein the catheter adaptor is configured to cause the treatment element to apply treatment to the tissue proximate to the catheter based on at least one of the following;
the signal indicative of the detected infusion and a manual activation of the catheter adaptor causing the treatment element to apply treatment, wherein at least one of a strength and a duration of the treatment is determined based on a dose of the infused therapeutic fluid.

Abstract
Systems, methods and devices for delivering a therapeutic fluid into tissue are disclosed. The system includes an infusion set having a catheter for delivery of a dose of therapeutic fluid into a tissue via an infusion tube, a treatment element that applies treatment to the tissue proximate to the catheter, a catheter adaptor having a first transponder, a pump adaptor, in communication with the catheter adaptor, having a second transponder that communicates with the first transponder, and an infusion detection sensor that detects an infusion of the therapeutic fluid. Upon detection of an infusion of the therapeutic fluid by the infusion detection sensor, the second transponder communicates a signal indicative of the detected infusion to the first transponder causing the catheter adaptor to apply treatment using the treatment element. At least one of a strength and a duration of the treatment corresponds to a dose of the infused therapeutic fluid.
