| abstract |
A device (10) for delivering a fluid to a patient, including an exit port (70), a dispenser (40) for causing fluid from a reservoir to flow to the exit port, a local processor (50) 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 (60) connected to the local processor for receiving the flow instructions. The device also inlcudes a housing free of user input components for providing flow instructions to the local proessor, 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. |
