Infusion pump assembly with a backup power supply
First Claim
1. An infusion pump assembly comprising:
- a housing;
a reservoir assembly disposed within the housing and configured to contain an infusible fluid;
a motor assembly disposed within the housing and configured to act upon the reservoir assembly and dispense at least a portion of the infusible fluid contained within the reservoir assembly;
processing logic disposed within the housing and configured to control the motor assembly;
a primary power supply disposed within the housing and configured to provide primary electrical energy to at least a portion of the processing logic; and
a backup power supply disposed within the housing and configured to provide backup electrical energy to the at least a portion of the processing logic in the event that the primary power supply fails to provide the primary electrical energy to the at least a portion of the processing logic;
wherein the processing logic includes one or more circuit partitioning components configured to divide the processing logic into primary processing logic and backup processing logic; and
wherein the one or more circuit partitioning components includes one or more of a diode assembly and a current limiting assembly.

Abstract
An infusion pump assembly includes a reservoir assembly configured to contain an infusible fluid. A motor assembly is configured to act upon the reservoir assembly and dispense at least a portion of the infusible fluid contained within the reservoir assembly. Processing logic is configured to control the motor assembly. A primary power supply is configured to provide primary electrical energy to at least a portion of the processing logic. A backup power supply is configured to provide backup electrical energy to the at least a portion of the processing logic in the event that the primary power supply fails to provide the primary electrical energy to the at least a portion of the processing logic.
