Devices, systems and methods for patient infusion
First Claim
1. A remote control device for successively providing flow instructions to at least two disposable fluid delivery devices, comprising:
- user input components for receiving user inputs regarding flow instructions for the fluid delivery devices;
a wireless transmitter for transmitting the flow instructions for the fluid delivery devices; and
a remote processor connected to the user input components and the wireless transmitter and programmed to assemble the flow instructions for the fluid delivery devices based upon the user inputs received through the user input components, and transmit the flow instructions successively to the fluid delivery devices through the wireless transmitter;
wherein the remote processor includes a computer program comprising a set of instructions and wherein said set of instructions can be modified by the fluid delivery devices.

Abstract
A device for delivering a fluid to a patient, including an exit port, a dispenser for causing fluid from a reservoir to flow to the exit port, a local processor programmed to cause a flow of fluid to the exit port based on flow instructions from a separate, remote control device, and a wireless receiver connected to the local processor for receiving the flow instructions. The device also includes a housing free of user input components for providing flow instructions to the local processor, in order to reduce the complexity and costs of the device so that the device lends itself to being disposable in nature. A system and a kit are also described that include the fluid delivery device, a separate, remote control device, and accessories for transcutaneous delivery of fluid medications. Methods of utilizing the fluid delivery device to infuse fluid medications are additionally disclosed.
