Medical skin mountable device and system
First Claim
1. A medical device, comprising a transcutaneous device unit and a process unit,a) the transcutaneous device unit comprising:
- a mounting surface configured for application to the skin of a subject,a transcutaneous device comprising a distal end configured to be inserted through the skin of the subject, the distal end being moveable between an initial position in which the distal end is retracted relative to the mounting surface, and an extended position in which the distal end projects relative to the mounting surface,b) the process unit comprising;
a process assembly configured to cooperate with the transcutaneous device,wherein the transcutaneous device is a combined transcutaneous device comprising a sensor, and the process assembly comprises a processor configured to transmit and/or process data acquired via the sensor,wherein the process assembly comprises a reservoir configured to contain a fluid drug, an expelling assembly configured for cooperation with the reservoir to expel fluid drug out of the reservoir and through the skin of the subject via the combined transcutaneous device, andwherein the transcutaneous device unit and the process unit are configured to be secured to each other to form a unitary device.

Abstract
A medical device is provided comprising a transcutaneous device unit and a process unit. The transcutaneous device unit may comprise a transcutaneous device for transporting a fluid through a skin portion of a subject, and a mounting surface adapted for application to the skin of the subject. The process unit may comprise a reservoir adapted to contain a fluid drug, the reservoir comprising an outlet means allowing the transcutaneous device to be arranged in fluid communication with an interior of the reservoir, and an expelling assembly for expelling a fluid drug out of the reservoir and through the skin of the subject via the transcutaneous device. The transcutaneous device unit and the process unit further comprise coupling means allowing the reservoir unit to be secured to the transcutaneous device unit in the situation of use. By this arrangement a two-unit system is provided which can be used in a convenient and cost-effective manner.
