A user-wearable patch pump system for delivery of insulin or other medicament can include a patch pump having a reusable drive unit and a replaceable and refillable cartridge. The cartridge can selectively attach to and be detached from the drive unit. The cartridge can initially be inserted onto the drive unit in a first orientation at an angle to the drive unit and then be rotated to align the cartridge with the drive unit and lock the cartridge in place on the drive unit to form the patch pump.

1. A user-wearable infusion pump system, comprising: a pump including: a disposable cartridge configured to contain a medicament, the disposable cartridge including a cartridge housing having a front surface and a rear surface and a coupling recess defined in a bottom surface of the cartridge housing, the bottom surface extending between the front surface and the rear surface; anda drive unit configured to cause medicament in the cartridge to be delivered to a user wearing the pump, the drive unit including a drive unit housing having a front surface and a rear surface and a drive mechanism having a drive end extending from the drive unit housing, andwherein the coupling recess in the cartridge is configured to be axially inserted onto the drive end of the drive mechanism with the cartridge in a first non-parallel orientation with respect to the drive unit and the cartridge is configured to be rotated around the drive end in a first direction with the drive end of the drive unit positioned within the coupling recess to lock the cartridge onto the drive unit in a second orientation wherein the front surface of the cartridge is aligned generally parallel to and coplanar with the front surface of the drive unit. 2. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein in the first orientation the front surface of the cartridge is aligned generally perpendicular to the front surface of the drive unit. 3. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein in the first orientation the front surface of the cartridge is positioned at a generally 60 degree angle with respect to the front surface of the drive unit. 4. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the cartridge can be unlocked from the drive unit when in the second orientation by rotating the cartridge with respect to the drive unit in a second direction opposite of the first direction. 5. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 1, wherein the cartridge includes at least one flange adjacent at least one slot within the coupling recess and the drive end includes at least one thread, with the at least one flange, at least one slot, and at least one thread cooperating to lock the cartridge onto the drive unit in the second orientation including the at least one thread seating in the at least one slot. 6. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 5, wherein the drive unit includes a pair of threads positioned on opposing sides of the drive end and the cartridge includes a pair of flanges positioned on opposing sides of the coupling recess and a pair of slots positioned on opposing sides of the coupling recess. 7. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 6, wherein the flanges are positioned axially proximally in the coupling recess with respect to the slots, and the cartridge is rotated from the first orientation to the second orientation by inserting the cartridge onto the drive end to advance the threads past the flanges to axially align the threads with the slots and by rotating the cartridge to seat the threads in the slots. 8. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 7, wherein the pair of threads on the drive end and the pair of flanges in the coupling recess are positioned such that if the threads are rotationally aligned with the flanges, the flanges will prevent the threads from being advanced past the flanges. 9. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 7, wherein if the cartridge is rotated with the pair of flanges in the coupling recess axially aligned with the pair of threads on the drive unit, the threads will inhibit rotation of the cartridge by abutting the flanges. 10. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 9, wherein the flanges include convex surfaces that abut corresponding concave surfaces of the threads. 11. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 5, wherein the at least one thread includes a detent projection that seats in a detent groove in the at least one slot. 12. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 5, wherein the at least one thread increases in width from a leading edge of the thread that first enters the at least one slot as the cartridge is rotated to provide a compression fit between the at least one thread and the at least one slot. 13. A user-wearable infusion pump system, comprising: a pump including a disposable cartridge configured to contain a medicament and a drive unit configured to cause medicament in the cartridge to be delivered to a user wearing the pump,the cartridge including a cartridge housing having a front surface and a rear surface and a coupling recess defined in a bottom surface of the cartridge housing, the bottom surface extending between the front surface and the rear surface, andthe drive unit including a drive unit housing having a front surface and a rear surface and a drive mechanism having a drive end extending from the drive unit housing, andwherein the drive end of the drive mechanism is configured to be axially inserted into the coupling recess in the cartridge with the cartridge in a first non-parallel orientation around the drive end; andwherein the cartridge is configured to be rotated relative to the drive unit with the drive mechanism of the drive unit positioned within the coupling recess to lock the cartridge onto the drive unit in a second orientation wherein the front surface of the cartridge is aligned generally parallel to and coplanar with the front surface of the drive unit. 14. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 13, wherein in the first orientation the front surface of the cartridge is aligned generally perpendicular to the front surface of the drive unit. 15. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 13, wherein in the first orientation the front surface of the cartridge is positioned at a generally 60 degree angle with respect to the front surface of the drive unit. 16. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 13, wherein the cartridge can be unlocked from the drive unit when in the second orientation by rotating the cartridge with respect to the drive unit in a second direction opposite of the first direction. 17. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 13, wherein the cartridge includes a pair of flanges on opposing sides of the coupling recess each adjacent a respective slot and the drive end includes a pair of threads on opposing sides of the drive end, and flanges, slots and threads cooperate to lock the cartridge onto the drive unit in the second orientation including each thread seating in a respective one of the slots. 18. The user-wearable infusion pump system of claim 17, wherein the flanges are positioned axially proximally in the coupling recess with respect to the slots, and the cartridge is rotated from the first orientation to the second orientation by inserting the cartridge onto the drive end to advance the threads past the flanges to axially align the threads with the slots and by rotating the cartridge to seat the threads in the slots. 19. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 18, wherein the pair of threads on the drive end and the pair of flanges in the coupling recess are positioned such that if the threads are rotationally aligned with the flanges, the flanges will prevent the threads from being advanced past the flanges. 20. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 19, wherein if the cartridge is rotated with the pair of flanges in the coupling recess axially aligned with the pair of threads on the drive unit, the threads will inhibit rotation of the cartridge by abutting the flanges. 21. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 20, wherein the flanges include convex surfaces that abut corresponding concave surfaces of the threads. 22. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 17, wherein each thread includes a detent projection that seats in a detent groove in the corresponding slot. 23. The user-wearable infusion pump of claim 17, wherein each thread increases in width from a leading edge of the thread that first enters the corresponding slot as the cartridge is rotated to provide a compression fit between the thread and the corresponding slot.
