Abstract

An infusion pump system comprises one or more infusion pump units and a stationary receptor system. Each unit comprises a housing of a size allowing the unit to be carried by a user as a portable unit and defining an exterior surface, a fluid inlet for establishing fluid communication from an external infusion bag, a fluid outlet for establishing fluid communication to an infusion site, a controllable pumping system having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being connected to the fluid inlet and the outlet being connected to the fluid outlet for allowing transfer of fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet through activating the controllable pumping system, a first check valve provided at the inlet, a second check valve provided at the outlet, an electronic control means for controlling the operation of the pumping system and including at least two preset pumping programs for allowing the pumping system to be controlled in at least two alternative infusion pumping operations, and a power supply unit for supplying power to the pumping system and to the electronic control means and connectible through exterior terminals to external electric energy supply means. The receptor system includes a receptor for receiving the unit for maintaining the unit in a stationary mode and exposing the fluid inlet and fluid outlet and a mains supply unit for receiving electric energy from the mains supply and having terminals connectible to the exterior terminals for supplying electric energy to the power supply unit of the unit.
