Portable infusion device with means for monitoring and controlling fluid delivery
First Claim
1. A skin-adherable portable therapeutic fluid delivery device for delivering a therapeutic fluid into a body of a patient comprising:
- a cannula for delivering the therapeutic fluid into the body of the patient;
a cradle unit configured for adhesively securing to the skin of the patient and defining an opening for providing a passageway for the cannula, the cradle unit comprising one or more anchors for securing a proximal end of the cannula to the cradle after insertion of the cannula into the body of the patient;
a skin-adherable patch unit connectable to the cradle unit and to the cannula, the patch unit comprising a pump, a reservoir, a processor, a user interface and a display, wherein;
the processor is configured for controlling the pump to deliver the therapeutic fluid from the reservoir to the body of the patient according to one or more inputs,the one or more inputs corresponding to at least one of a delivery rate and a delivery profile,the user interface is configured for adjusting the one or more inputs; and
the display is operable for displaying patch information when the patch unit is disconnected from the delivery means, the patch information including at least one of the one or more inputs.

Abstract
A device (1000) for delivering a therapeutic fluid (e.g. insulin) into a body of a patient are provided. In one aspect, the device can be implemented with a help of a patch unit (10) securable to a cradle unit (20) or to the body of the patient. The patch unit can employ a driving mechanism (120), a power source (210), a processor (110), a user interface (14) and a display(12). The processor can be adapted for controlling the driving mechanism by using one or more inputs. The inputs can corresponding to a basal rate and/or a bolus profile. The display can be adapted for displaying the inputs. The user interface can be adapted for adjusting the inputs.
