The invention relates to a relay pump system for medical use, classified under IPC A61M 5/168 and A61M 5/14. The patent application designates 36 European states including all major EU markets (DE, FR, GB, IT, ES, NL, etc.).\n\nHealthcare providers and medical device manufacturers should review the patent claims to identify potential licensing obligations or design-around requirements for competing infusion pump systems.
