SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FLUID INFUSION DEVICE WITH AUTOMATIC RESERVOIR FILL
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fluid infusion device for automatically filling a fluid reservoir associated with the fluid infusion device, the fluid infusion device comprising:
- a source of input;
a fluid reservoir system including the fluid reservoir having a barrel and a stopper disposed within the barrel;
a drive system coupled to the stopper of the fluid reservoir system; and
a control module that outputs one or more control signals to the drive system to move the stopper to fill the barrel of the fluid reservoir with a fluid based on the input.

17. A method for automatically filling a fluid reservoir associated with a fluid infusion device, the method comprising:
-
receiving an input to request automatic filling of the fluid reservoir; outputting one or more control signals to a motor of a drive system of the fluid infusion device to advance a stopper in the fluid reservoir and outputting one or more control signals to the motor of the drive system to retract the stopper within the fluid reservoir based on the receiving the input; and repeating the outputting of the control signals until the fluid reservoir is filled with the fluid. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
