WEARABLE FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM EXTERNALIZED FROM FLUID PATH BETWEEN RESERVOIR AND OUTLET TO PATIENT

Abstract

A wearable fluid delivery device (FDD) has a fluidic module and an electromechanical module. The fluidic module has a fluid path from a fluid reservoir to an outlet to a patient that is separate from the electromechanical module and its components that control the delivery of the fluid to the patient. A pump that can be disposed in the fluidic module, or in the electromechanical module and external to the fluid path. The FDD can have a releasably coupled first housing and second housing that enclose a respective one of the fluidic module and the electromechanical module. The first and second housings when connected have respective ones of aligned sensor opening and sensor access opening to create a sensor access area and permit a sensor to detect a pressure in the fluid path and thereby provide a pressure sensing system external to the fluid path.
