OG exemplary drawing
 
1. An inlet connector set for delivering multiple medicaments to a patient, the inlet connector set comprising:
a first inlet connector comprising:
a tightening feature configured to affix the first inlet connector to a first receptacle of an infusion pump;
a capture feature configured to engage a first medicament reservoir and to couple the first inlet connector to the first medicament reservoir;
a needle recessed within the capture feature of the first inlet connector, the needle being configured to receive the first medicament from the first medicament reservoir; and
a check valve configured to resist an unintended distribution of the first medicament from the first medicament reservoir; and
a second inlet connector comprising:
a tightening feature configured to affix the second inlet connector to a second receptacle of the infusion pump;
a capture feature configured to engage a second medicament reservoir and to couple the second inlet connector to the second medicament reservoir; and
a needle recessed within the capture feature of the second inlet connector, the needle being configured to receive the second medicament from the second medicament reservoir,
wherein the first check valve is configured to allow the first medicament to flow from the first medicament reservoir in response to a first threshold fluid pressure being applied to the first medicament,
and wherein the first threshold fluid pressure is greater than a gravitationally induced hydrostatic pressure caused by placing the first reservoir set above an infusion site of the patient.
