A switch-operated therapeutic agent delivery device. Embodiments of the operated therapeutic agent delivery device my include a switch that can be operated by a user, a device controller connected to the switch through a switch input where the device can actuate the device when certain predetermined conditions are met, following performance of both a digital switch validation test and an analog switch validation test. The switch operated therapeutic agent delivery device may have two parts, which are assembled by a user prior to use. These devices may be configured to determine if a current is present between the anode and cathode when drug is not intended to be delivered by the device. These devices may indirectly control and/or monitor the applied current without directly measuring from the cathode of the patient terminal.

Abstract:
Devices, systems and methods for controlling the application of current and/or voltage to deliver drug from patient contacts of an electrotransport drug delivery device by indirectly controlling and/or monitoring the applied current without directly measuring from the cathode of the patient terminal. In particular, described herein are electrotransport drug delivery systems including constant current delivery systems having a feedback current and/or voltage control module that is isolated from the patient contacts (e.g., anodes and cathodes). The feedback module may be isolated by a transistor from the patient contacts; feedback current and/or voltage control measurements may be performed at the transistor rather than at the patient contact (e.g., cathode).
