Definitions
- Illustrative embodiments relate generally to an injection module with an integrated manifold that allows filling a fluid delivery' device reservoir directly from a primary container and for large volume manual direct injection.
- Bolus and/or infusion pump therapy generally requires an infusion cannula, typically in the form of an infusion needle or a flexible catheter, that pierces the patient's skin and through which infusion of a medicament takes place.
- Infusion pump therapy offers the advantages of continuous infusion, precision dosing, and programmable delivery schedules.
- the infusion set consists of a pump connector, a length of tubing, and a hub or base from which a cannula, in the form of a hollow metal infusion needle or flexible plastic catheter extends.
- the base typically has an adhesive that retains the base on the skin surface during use.
- the cannula can be inserted onto the skin manually or with the aid of a manual or automatic insertion device.
- the insertion device may be a separate unit required by the user.
- a patch pump is an integrated device that combines most or all of the fluidic components, including the fluid reservoir, pumping mechanism and mechanism for automatically inserting the cannula, in a single housing which is adhesively attached to an infusion site on the patient's skin, and does not require the use of a separate infusion or tubing set.
- a patch pump containing a medicament adheres to the patient’s skin and delivers the medicament over a period of time or at a selected time via an integrated subcutaneous cannula.
- Some patch pumps may wirelessly communicate with a separate controller device, while others are completely self-contained. Such devices can be replaced on a frequent basis, such as every three days, when the medicament reservoir is exhausted or when complications may otherwise occur, such as restriction in the cannula or the infusion site.
- patch pumps are designed to be a self-contained unit that is worn by the user (e.g., patient), it is preferable to be as small as possible so that it does not interfere with the activities of the user. Thus, in order to minimize discomfort to the user, it would be preferable to minimize the overall thickness of the patch pump. However, in order to minimize the thickness of the patch pump, the constituent parts of the patch pump should be reduced in size and possibly in number as much as possible.
- Some patch pumps can be designed with reservoirs that are integrated as opposed to a patch pump in which a pre-fdled cartridge is inserted into the patch pump housing.

- the exterior of the manifold 70 housing has planar surface area(s) 70b in which the openings 70c are arranged.
- the frame 84 has fluid path openings 110 in its sidewalls that can be selectively aligned with different groups or subsets of the openings 70c in the manifold 70 housing, depending on the position of the manifold 70 and button 82 relative to the frame 84 for different operations such as filling and injection.
- the openings 70c in the manifold 70 can be on opposite sides of the manifold 70 housing.
- the openings 110 in the frame 84 can be on opposite sides of the frame side walls, and can be radially aligned with selected ones of the openings 70c in the manifold 70 depending on the position of the button 82. Tightness between the manifold 70 and the frame 84 and therefore seal between their respective openings 70c and 110 can be ensured using an O-ring or overmolding with respect to the manifold openings 70c, for example.
- the button 82 is configured with an interior space dimensioned to slidably receive a guiding part 86 therein.

- the cam guides 98 are arranged to be opposite each other in the button 82 side walls. It is to be understood that a different number of a tongue 120 and cam guide 98 can be used.
- a cam guide 98 has an angled recess 100 at its distal end that is arranged to release the guiding part 86 from a first position relative to the button 82 as shown in FIG. 5B to a second position relative to the button 82 as shown in FIG.
- the button 82 when the button 82 is pressed relative to the frame 84 (e.g., manually by a user) for the injection position or stage shown in FIGs. 5B and 5C.
- the catheter 94 extends from the distal end of the frame 84, but the needle extends from the frame 84 or can be retracted into the frame 84 and button, depending on whether or not the guiding part 86 is released.
- the interior of the frame 84 is provided with corresponding interior protrusions 114, as shown in FIGs.
- the button 82 is provided with clips 108 on the exterior of the button 82 housing that are configured to be engaged with corresponding clip openings 112 provided in the frame 84.
- the cooperation of the clips 108 with the clip openings 112 fixes the positon of the button 82 relative to the frame 84 and thereby the extension of the catheter 94 from the frame 84 to ensure injection depth and position during the injection stage illustrated in FIGs. 5B and 5C.
- a pair of the openings 110a, 110b on one side of the frame 84 can be fluidically coupled to the inlet and the outlet of the pump 38, and a pair of the openings 110c and 1 lOd on an opposite side of the frame 84 can be fluidically coupled to the reservoir 28 and the primary container 60, respectively.
- the pump 36 can draw fluid from the primary container 60 via fluid channel 72a in the manifold 70 and output fluid to the reservoir 28 via the fluid channel 72b in the manifold 70.
- the openings 110a, 110b in the frame 84 can be fluidically coupled to the inlet and the outlet of the pump 38, and opening 110c in the frame 84 can be fluidically coupled to the reservoir 28, to allow the pump 38 to draw fluid from the reservoir 28 via a fluid channel 72c and to output fluid to the catheter via a fluid channel 72d.
- the opening 1 lOd in the frame 84 is not used during the injection stage and therefore no opening 70c relative to the opening 1 lOd in the frame 84 is needed as illustrated in FIG. 8B, and the arrangement of the three openings 70c illustrated on one side of the manifold 70 in FIG. 6A in contrast with the arrangement of the four openings 70c on the other side of the manifold 70 in FIG. 6B.
- the manifold 70 is illustrated schematically in FIG. 7A (storage and filling stages) and FIG. 8A (injection stage).
- Opposing pairs of the openings 70c arranged at the distal end of the manifold 70 are fluidically coupled to the openings 110a through 1 lOd in the frame 84 when the button 82 is undeployed and in the filling stage.
- Three openings 70c arranged closed to the proximal end of the manifold 70 are fluidically coupled to the openings 110a through 110c in the frame 84 when the button 82 is pressed for injection.
- FIG. 11 illustrates the placement of the fluid paths 72a and 72b used for the filling stage as more distal relative to the more proximal placement of the fluid paths 72c and 72d used for the injection stage such that selection of the corresponding fluid paths 72 for filling or an injection is simplified by merely pressing the button 82 and translating it until the clips 108 engage with the openings 112 in the frame 84.
- connection from the frame 84 to other subsystems in the device 10 is implemented as holes.
- the connection from the openings 110 in the injection mechanism 80 to these other subsystems can be done using tubing for example.
- the frame 84 can be dimensioned or configured so that the openings 110 each have a circumferential edge extending from the side wall of the frame 84 and the tubes are directly connected within or over these edges by gluing.
- the openings 110 are smooth at the exterior side wall of the frame and the tubing is glued within the opening 110 and at least partially within the side wall of the frame.
- a barbed connection can be integrated to the frame 84 for connecting to tubing at the openings 110 at the exterior side wall of the frame 84.
- the manifold 70 and the catheter 94 can be implemented as a single kinematical group.
- the catheter 94 and the manifold 70 can be glued together on the internal diameter of the manifold 70, or the catheter 94 can be assembled on a a wedge (e.g., a metallic part) to secure internal diameter of the catheter, and the wedge is coupled to the manifold 70 via gluing or stamping or other method.
- the connections between the wedge and manifold and between the wedge and catheter are tight.
- the insertion mechanism 80 described and illustrated herein in accordance with an example embodiment advantageously combines a catheter insertion mechanism with a manifold 70 in order to reduce user steps. It is also a compaction in space of generally two subsystems, that is, a manifold and a catheter insertion mechanism. It is of interest to reduce space of a fluid delivery device (e.g., device 10) that needs to integrate these functions.
- the manifold 70 allows automatic filling of a reservoir 28 in a fluid delivery device 10 using a monodirectional pump and filling directly from the primary container 60 when insertion mechanism 80 is in a first position (e.g., the button 82 is undeployed as shown in FIGs.
- the insertion mechanism 80 therefore employs a relatively simple translation and monostable operation to switch from a storage and filling stage to an injection stage of use.
- the insertion mechanism 80 constructed in accordance with example embodiments of the present disclosure is also advantageous because the insertion mechanism 80 reduces dead volume of fluid in the fluid channels between the reservoir 28, pump 38 and catheter 94, as compared with fluid volume that can exist in the baseplate fluid channels, and the flexible tube deployed from a downstream point in the fluid path from the pump to the insertion mechanism, as described in PCT international applications WO 2015/164653 and WO2015157174, for example. Also, the manifold 70 allows automatic switching of the direction of the fluid to or from the reservoir 28 when an operator pushes on the button 82 to begin an injection as illustrated by the pathways 72 in FIG. 7B as compared with FIG. 8B.

Abstract
Un mécanisme d'injection pour un dispositif de distribution de fluide comprend un collecteur conçu pour coopérer avec un bouton pour une mise en prise coulissante à l'intérieur d'un cadre. Le collecteur et le cadre ont des ouvertures pour une connexion fluidique sélective à d'autres composants associés au dispositif de distribution de fluide tel qu'une pompe monodirectionnelle, un réservoir et un récipient primaire pour stocker un fluide utilisé pour compléter le réservoir. Certaines ouvertures de collecteur ont un canal de fluide relié entre elles. Au moins une ouverture de collecteur comporte un canal de fluide relié entre elle et un canal de fluide d'une aiguille ou d'un cathéter qui est inséré dans un patient. Les ouvertures de collecteur sont agencées le long du collecteur de telle sorte qu'un sous-ensemble des ouvertures de collecteur est aligné avec les ouvertures de cadre lorsque le bouton est dans une première position, et un sous-ensemble différent des ouvertures de collecteur est aligné avec les ouvertures de cadre lorsque le bouton est dans une seconde position.
