A61M5/003
Pre-connected analyte sensors
Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.
Packaging assembly
A packaging assembly comprises a case configured to at least partially contain a plurality of injection devices for delivering a medicament; and a sensor arrangement comprising at least one device sensor; wherein the at least one device sensor is configured to detect one or more injection devices contained in the case, and to output a signal according to a result of the detection.
Method of packaging analyte sensors
A system and method are provided for packaging and sterilizing analyte sensors. The packaging system provides a structure for securing the analyte sensors in a fixed position and fixed orientation within the package.
Systems, apparatuses and methods to encourage injection site rotation and prevent lipodystrophy from repeated injections to a body area
Systems and methods encourage users to rotate injection sites and avoid lipodystrophy. Sleeves and/or lost-tooth gear dials and/or microswitches in or on injection pens or their caps, on vials, and on other portable devices manually adjust an indicator before or after an injection to show a current or next injection site in accordance with a site rotation plan. Injected medicine packaging and related printed indicia encourage site rotation. Optical devices employing optical mouse or projection technology help locate and/or distribute injection sites within a body area. A mobile phone app tracks injections and locations to select next injection site, and can use imaging to locate a target injection site and optionally diagnose lipodystrophic conditions and record them. Tactile and print media educational tools are presented to help users palpate and identify lipos in body areas having injection sites.
Supplementary device for a manually operable injection device
The present invention relates to a supplementary device a supplementary device for a manually operable injection device. The supplementary device has a body defining a passage through which an injection device is slidable, and a securing unit to secure the body to the injection device in the specific position when the injection device is received through the passage.
DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR ESTIMATING ACTIVE MEDICATION FROM INJECTIONS
One or more embodiments relate, generally, to a reusable accessory for a medication injection pen. Such a reusable accessory may be adapted to be reversibly attached to a medication injection pen, and configured to detect an event associated with an injection of medication from the medication injection pen. It may also be configured to determine a percentage of medication that remains active for injection by the medication injection pen based on timing information and dosing event information.
Medical assembly comprising a medical article and a package containing said article
A medical package containing a medical article, including: a support element comprising a hollow support tube and a support cap, wherein the support element includes a first chamber configured to enclose the medical article and wherein the support cap includes a support structure configured to hold the medical article captive; a stopper configured to be coupled to the hollow support tube in such a way that the support element has a grip part that protrudes from the stopper, the grip part of the support element configured to be held by a hand of a person; a hollow protective cover configured to be coupled to the stopper in such a way as to delimit, in cooperation with the stopper, a second chamber inside which there extends the grip part of the support element, the hollow protective cover configured to be separated from the stopper, wherein when the hollow protective cover is coupled to the stopper, a part of the stopper protrudes from the hollow protective cover, and is configured to form a grip end of the stopper that is configured to be held by a hand of a person, when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, wherein a part of the support element is configured to be engaged by force inside the stopper, and when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, the support element remains coupled to the stopper while the support element is also separable from the stopper when a person holds the grip part of the support element and pulls the support element so as to separate it from the stopper.
