Abstract

A disposable patch pump may be provided with a filling adapter, to ensure filling by an authorized user. The adapter mates with the pump and a source of medicament, such as an insulin vial, to prevent filling the pump directly with a conventional syringe. The adapter and/or pump filling port may be configured with a frangible element, to limit the system to single use.
