A medical device suitable for subcutaneous implantation, generally including a housing having a reservoir, a septum positioned within and supported by the housing, at least one light emitting element placed in position defining relation to the septum, and a pressure actuated, light activating circuitry associated with the at least one light emitting element. The light element(s) may be positioned, for instance, in at least partially surrounding relation around the septum, embedded within or below a translucent housing that supports the septum, positioned within the reservoir and adapted to emit its light through a translucent septum, or positioned on the exterior of the supporting housing. The medical device can be adapted to receive high pressure fluid injections and if so adapted, will include a light emitting element that will provide a visual indication this capacity.

L'invention concerne un dispositif médical se prêtant à l'implantation sous-cutanée, comprenant de manière générale un boîtier pourvu d'un réservoir, un septum placé dans le boîtier et maintenu par celui-ci, au moins un élément luminescent placé dans une position établissant une relation avec le septum, et un ensemble de circuits d'activation de lumière, commandés par pression, associés à l'élément ou aux éléments luminescents. L'élément ou les éléments luminescents peuvent être disposés par exemple de manière à entourer au moins partiellement le septum, encastrés dans ou sous un boîtier translucide de support du septum, disposés dans le réservoir et conçus pour émettre de la lumière à travers un septum translucide, ou positionnés à l'extérieur du boîtier de support. Ce dispositif médical peut être conçu pour recevoir des injections de fluide haute pression et, dans ce cas, comprendra un élément luminescent donnant une indication visuelle de cette fonction.
