A packet for a medication delivery pen comprises a pen cap integrally connected to one, some, or all of the devices listed: an unused pen needle dispenser, sharps container for used needles, folding glucose monitor, constant glucose monitor, glucose tablets/candy, lancing device, or glucose test strip holder. The integrated pen cap is configured to replace the pen cap normally supplied with the pen and the attachments and devices featured put all items needed by a diabetic in one device. This device also gives the diabetic freedom in choosing which devices they would like to or would like not to carry with them, and in what manner so as to have the highest convenience to the diabetic.

This disclosure is directed to a disposal container system enabling storage of used or contaminated articles having a generally flat, strip-shaped configuration, such as diagnostic biosensors. The disposal container is removably mountable to a supply container, and has an insertion portion provided in a wall of the disposal container. The insertion portion has a contour configured externally to guide deposit of a flat, strip-shaped article through a narrow slit, the contour further configured internally to deflect any loose articles in the interior space of the disposal container away from any accidental alignment with the slit which would cause free extraction of the articles. The disposal container may be configured for engagement with a supply container, such as a round or non-round vial, in a bottom-cap configuration or in a side-by-side configuration, by way of an engagement portion.

A pen needle apparatus includes a housing (32), a movable gripping mechanism (34) for gripping a pen needle assembly (18), and an actuator (36). The gripping mechanism (34) includes first and second pivoting arms (44) that pivot between a first closed position and a second open position. In the closed position, the arms engage and grip the outer cover (22) of the pen needle assembly (18) so that the needle hub (16) can be separated from the outer cover (22) and the pen needle placed back in the outer cover (22) after use of the pen needle. The actuator (36) is connected to the arms (44) where movement of the actuator pivots the arms to a second open position to release the outer cover of the pen needle assembly. The arms include a gripping surface for engaging the inner shield (24) of the pen needle assembly to assist in removing the inner shield (24) from the needle hub (16).

An assembly for receiving fluid pharmaceutical waste into a fluid waste receiver includes a fluid receiver body coupled to a fluid receiver cap, and receiving solid pharmaceutical waste into a solid waste receiver includes a solid receiver body coupled to a solid receiver cap. The assembly comprises a receiver housing and a receiver lid coupled to the receiver housing. The receiver housing comprises a retainer base, sidewalls extending from the retainer base, and dividers extending from the sidewalls to divide an interior of the receiver housing into a receiver compartment configured to receive the fluid receiver body and the solid receiver body, and a cap compartment. A first of the dividers divides the receiver compartment from a first of the cap compartments configured to receive the fluid receiver cap, and a second one of the dividers divides the receiver compartment from a second of the cap compartments configured to receive the solid receiver cap.

A waste receiver for receiving pharmaceutical waste material and adapted to be releasably secured to a fixed surface is disclosed. The waste receiver comprises a receiver body with a fluid absorber and a chemical composition disposed within the receiver body. The receiver body defines an opening for receiving the pharmaceutical waste material and comprises an inner surface defining a container volume in fluid communication with the opening, and an outer surface opposite the inner surface with the outer surface defining a lock passageway through the receiver body and a keyway comprising a portion of the lock passageway. The lock passageway is adapted to receive a locking assembly and the keyway is adapted to receive an engagement feature of the locking assembly to releasably secure the waste receiver to the locking assembly in a single orientation. The waste receiver also comprises a cover adapted to be coupled with the receiver body.
