1. A system, comprising:
a base comprising a fluid flow path, the fluid flow path comprising a plurality of valves, a pumping chamber, and a variable volume chamber which are each defined on a surface of the base, the variable volume chamber having a variable volume chamber inlet and variable volume chamber outlet each fully enclosed by the base;
a membrane layer covering the plurality of valves, the pumping chamber, and the variable volume chamber, the membrane layer having a first side facing the variable volume chamber and a second side exposed open above the variable volume chamber whereby none of the system is positioned over the second side, the membrane layer comprising at least one flexible membrane;
a reservoir configured to contain an infusion medium, the reservoir upstream of the fluid flow path, wherein the pumping chamber is positioned between the reservoir and the variable volume chamber in the fluid flow path, the reservoir defining:
a collapsible housing having an interior volume configured to hold the infusion medium, the collapsible housing when filled is configured to collapse from an expanded state to reduce the interior volume and when depleted is configured to expand from a collapsed state to increase the interior volume; and
a reservoir outlet configured to fluidly couple the reservoir to the fluid flow path.
