Abstract
A fluid delivery device generally including: an electrochemical pump, wherein the electrochemical pump is capable of generating water; an electrochemical pump product chamber, wherein the electrochemical pump product chamber is capable of retaining water generated from the electrochemical pump; a displaceable member positioned between the electrochemical pump product chamber and a reservoir, wherein the displaceable member is controllably displaced upon generation of water from the electrical pump; a reservoir, wherein the reservoir is capable of containing a fluid which is delivered upon displacement of the displaceable member; and a housing for containing the electrochemical pump, the electrochemical pump product chamber, the displaceable member, and the reservoir.
