A fluid transfer assembly includes a housing within which at least a portion of a pump element can be disposed. The housing includes a first surface and a second surface and defines a cavity therethrough. The housing is configured to be coupled to a reservoir such that the first surface is disposed within an interior volume of the reservoir and the second surface is disposed outside the interior volume of the reservoir. The housing includes a seal portion configured to fluidically isolate the first surface from the second surface. The cavity is configured to receive at least a portion of the pump element such that movement of the pump element produces a fluid flow from an inlet opening defined by the first surface and an outlet opening defined by the second surface.

1. An apparatus, comprising: a housing configured to be coupled to a reservoir containing a fluid such that a first surface of the housing is in fluid communication with an interior volume of the reservoir, the housing including a seal portion configured to fluidically isolate the first surface from a second surface of the housing when the housing is coupled to the reservoir, the housing defining a cavity between the first surface and the second surface; anda pump element, the pump element including a piston at least partially disposed within the cavity such that movement of a portion of the pump element within the cavity produces a flow of the fluid from an inlet opening defined by the first surface to an outlet opening defined by the second surface, the piston including a sealing portion configured to contact a side wall of the housing defining the cavity when the piston reciprocates within the cavity to produce the flow,the first surface of the housing includes a mounting portion configured to be coupled to an actuator, the actuator configured to move the portion of the pump element, the mounting portion configured to retain a filter in a position upstream from the inlet opening. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the cavity is a first cavity; andthe housing defines a second cavity between the first surface and the second surface, the second cavity configured to receive an electrical member configured to electrically couple the actuator disposed within the interior volume to a power source outside of the interior volume. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the housing is monolithically constructed. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cavity is a cavity from a plurality of cavities defined by the housing between the first surface and the second surface, the apparatus further comprising: a pump assembly including a plurality of pump elements, the pump element being a first pump element from the plurality of pump elements, each pump element from the plurality of pump elements configured to move within a corresponding cavity from the plurality of cavities. 5. An apparatus, comprising: a housing configured to be coupled to a reservoir containing a fluid such that a first portion of the housing is disposed within the reservoir and a second portion of the housing is disposed outside of the reservoir, the housing including a seal portion configured to fluidically isolate the first portion from the second portion when the housing is coupled to the reservoir, the housing defining a cavity;a pump element, the pump element including a piston and an actuation portion, the piston at least partially disposed within the cavity such that movement of a portion of the pump element within the cavity produces a flow of the fluid from an inlet opening defined by an inlet surface of the first portion to an outlet opening defined by the second portion, the piston including a sealing portion configured to contact a side wall of the housing defining the cavity when the piston reciprocates within the cavity to produce the flow;an actuator configured to move the piston of the pump element, the actuator coupled to the first portion of the housing such that the actuation portion of the pump element is in contact with a mounting portion of the actuator; anda filter, the actuator coupled to the first portion of the housing such that the filter is disposed between the actuator and the inlet surface. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the first portion of the housing includes a mounting surface configured to be coupled to the actuator. 7. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the first portion of the housing includes a mounting surface configured to be coupled to the actuator such the actuator is offset from the inlet surface. 8. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein a portion of the filter is disposed within a groove defined by the inlet surface. 9. A method, comprising: disposing a at least a portion of a pump element into a cavity defined by a housing, the cavity extending from an inlet opening defined by a first surface of the housing to an outlet opening defined by a second surface of the housing, the pump element is a piston including a sealing portion configured to contact a side wall of the housing defining the cavity when the piston reciprocates within the cavity to produce a fluid flow;disposing a filter against the first surface of the housing; andcoupling an actuator to the housing such that the filter is disposed between the actuator and the first surface. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the disposing the filter includes disposing a portion of the filter within a groove defined by the first surface of the housing. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the coupling the actuator includes deforming the filter between the actuator and the first surface.
