Electrotransport device and method of setting output

一种两部分的电输送药物输送装置(20)，包括具有几个不同的电子输出的控制器(22)。控制器(22)适用于和几个不同的含药单元(24)机械地与电气地连接。每个药物单元(24)包括用于向控制器(22)发信号的装置(40，42，Rx，Cx)。信号被控制器(22)读出，借以选择预定的电子输出，并施加给药物单元(24)，以便利用电输送输送其中所含的药物。由药物单元(24)向控制器(22)发出的信号可以是光信号(例如反射光)，由机电连接器发出的信号，电信号(例如电阻或电容信号)，磁信号或金属检测器检测的信号。 A two-part electrotransport drug delivery device (20) is comprised of a controller (22) which has a plurality of different electronic outputs. The controller (22) is adapted to be mechanically and electrically coupled to a plurality of different drug-containing units (24). Each drug unit (24) includes a means (40, 42, Rx, Cx) for signaling the controller (22). The signal is read by the controller (22) and a predetermined electronic output is thereby selected and applied through the drug unit (24) in order to deliver the drug contained therein by electrotransport. The signal sent by the drug unit (24) to the controller (22) may be an optical signal (eg, reflected light), a signal sent by an electro-mechanical connector, an electrical signal (eg, resistance or capacitance), a magnetic signal or a metal detector sensing signal.
