Abstract

An infusion device (1) comprises a housing (10) having a front side (102) and a back side (103) opposite to the front side (102). A display device (11) is arranged at the front side (102) of the housing (10). A pump mechanism (18) serves to act onto a disposable pump module (17, 4), the pump mechanism (18) being included in the housing (10). Herein, the housing (10) is constituted to receive the disposable pump module (17, 4) at the back side (103). In this way an infusion device is provided which allows placing a disposable pump module on the housing of the infusion device and which may offer space savings over existing infusion devices.

Claims

1. An infusion device, comprising:

a housing having a front side and a back side opposite to the front side,

a display device arranged at the front side of the housing, and

a pump mechanism for acting onto a disposable pump module, the pump mechanism being included in the housing,

wherein the housing is configured to receive the disposable pump module at the back side.

2. The infusion device according to claim 1, further comprising a back part connectable to the housing.

3. The infusion device according to claim 2, wherein the back part in a connected state is pivotable with respect to the housing.

4. The infusion device according to claim 2, wherein the back part is releasable from the housing to replace the back part by another back part.

5. The infusion device according to claim 2, wherein the back part in a closed position covers at least a portion of the back side.

6. The infusion device according to claim 5, wherein the back part together with the housing is configured to receive the disposable pump module such that the disposable pump module in the closed position of the back part is held on the infusion device.

7. The infusion device according to claim 2, wherein the back part is the disposable pump module, the back part comprising a fluid container containing a medical fluid for administration to a patient.

8. The infusion device according to claim 1, wherein the pump mechanism comprises a wobble device for performing a wobbling movement for acting onto the disposable pump module.

9. The infusion device according to claim 1, wherein infusion device comprises a battery device for storing electrical energy.

10. A system comprising an infusion device according to claim 1 and a holding device for holding the infusion device, the holding device being configured to hold the infusion device such that the infusion device is pivotable with respect to the holding device about a first pivot axis.

11. The system according to claim 10, wherein the holding device comprises a base and at least one arm extending from the base in a direction parallel to the first pivot axis, the at least one arm comprising a connection finger at an end opposite to the base for pivotably connecting the infusion device to the holding device.

12. The system according to claim 11, wherein the connection finger is configured to reach around a top side or a bottom side of the housing of the infusion device the top side and the bottom side being arranged, when viewed along the first pivot axis, opposite to each other on the housing.

13. The system according to claim 11, wherein the holding device comprises a clamping device for connecting the holding device to a stand, the base being pivotably connected to the clamping device such that the base is pivotable with respect to the clamping device about a second pivot axis oriented transversely to the first pivot axis.
