Abstract
A reservoir and method for manufacturing a reservoir that includes a first side piece, a second side piece, an inner fold piece and a reservoir fitting. The first side piece may be sealed to the second side piece with a top seal and a first side seal and a second side seal. The inner fold piece may be sealed to the first side piece and the second side piece through a third side seal, a fourth side seal, and a bottom seal. The top seal may include a fitting opening and the reservoir fitting may be fit into the fitting opening. The reservoir may contain a volume sensing system. The reservoir may be designed so as to empty and fill reliably without any concern for neighboring organ impingement or compression.
