Manually operable portable infusion device
First Claim
1. A portable therapeutic fluid delivery device for delivering a therapeutic fluid intoa body of a patient comprising:
- at least one housing securable to the body of the patient;
a reservoir for containing the therapeutic fluid;
a therapeutic fluid dispensing mechanism coupled to said reservoir;
a memory component adapted for storing a value corresponding to a therapeutic fluid delivery dose;
a controller adapted for initiating a delivery of the therapeutic fluid by activating the therapeutic fluid dispensing mechanism, said controller further adapted for limiting the delivery of the therapeutic fluid based on the value stored in the memory component;
two or more bolus delivery buttons configured to signal the controller to initiate the delivery of the therapeutic fluid into the body of the patient;
an inadvertent initiation prevention mechanism adapted for preventing the patient from inadvertently activating the two or more bolus delivery buttons;
wherein the inadvertent initiation prevention mechanism is configured to prevent the controller from initiating the delivery of the therapeutic fluid into the body of the patient unless the patient activates the two or more bolus delivery buttons according to an activation sequence.

24. A method for delivering a therapeutic fluid into a body of a patient comprising:
-
receiving a signal corresponding to an activation of two or more bolus delivery buttons according to an activation sequence by the patient, said activation being verified by an inadvertent initiation prevention mechanism; receiving at least one value corresponding to a therapeutic fluid delivery dose stored, in a memory component; initiating the delivery of the therapeutic fluid delivery dose into the body of the patient by activating a therapeutic fluid dispensing mechanism; and
,limiting the delivery of the therapeutic fluid into the body of the patient based on the value stored in the memory component. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
