Abstract:
1. A system for equalizing pressure, the system comprising: a reservoir having a port and an interior volume for containing fluidic media; a plug positioned relatively offset to the port of the reservoir, the plug for closing the port of the reservoir when the plug is in a closed position; and a structure having a chamber in flow communication with the interior volume of the reservoir, the chamber for collecting fluidic media expelled from the interior volume of the reservoir through the port in a case where a pressure difference exists between the interior volume of the reservoir and the chamber before the plug is held in the closed position; the system further comprising: a first housing portion adapted to be carried by a user; and a second housing portion configured to be selectively operatively engaged with and disengaged from the first housing portion; the reservoir supported by one of the first and second housing portions; and wherein the plug is positioned to close the port of the reservoir when the first housing and second housing portions are operatively engaged.
