Infusion site leak detection device

This invention describes an infusion device, such as an insulin pump, designed to detect leaks. It features a recessed area on its bottom containing a hydrogel and specific chemicals. Should the infused fluid, like insulin, leak, it reacts with these chemicals, producing a rapid, visible color change to alert the user.

Why it matters: Since 2013, the widespread adoption of wearable insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors has increased the demand for integrated, passive leak detection, which this visual system offers.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
