DEVICE FOR SUBCUTANEOUS DELIVERY OF FLUID MEDICAMENT
An improved device delivers a fluid medicament to the subcutaneous tissue of a user. The device is better suited for patients with Parkinson's Disease and other central nervous system disorders, than conventional infusion devices. The device can include a reusable part including a drive component (e.g., motor) and control electronics and a disposable part including a medicament reservoir. Medicament can be evacuated from the medicament reservoir by a plunger assembly that includes a plunger attached to a lead screw that is rotated by a nut, all within the disposable part. The device can be fluidically coupled with the tissue via a flexible cannula. Various embodiments relate to an improved cannula insertion mechanism that delivers the cannula under a force applied by a spring. Various embodiments relate to improved filling of the device, for example, using a vial adapter and an automated filling station.
Devices and methods for needleless extraction and administration of contents from vials
A cap assembly includes an access member including a first section and a second section. The first section includes a connection portion that is attachable to an extraction device that extracts contents of a reservoir. The connection portion includes a first opening. The second section includes a second opening in fluid communication with the contents of the reservoir when the access member is secured to the reservoir. The cap assembly includes a valve member insertable into the access member so as to be in fluid communication with the first opening and the second opening and such that the valve member i) seals the contents of the reservoir at the first opening when the connection portion is not attached the extraction device, and ii) provides access to the contents of the reservoir through the first opening when the connection portion is attached to the extraction device.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR OVERFILLING DRUG CONTAINERS
Disclosed herein are methods for overfilling primary packaging components, and drug products prepared according to those methods. The methods may include introducing a volume of a formulated drug substance into a primary packaging component having a nominal volume, where the volume of the formulated drug substance is greater than the nominal volume of the primary packaging component. In some cases, the primary packaging component may be a prefillable syringe.
SYRINGE FOR DERMAL REGENERATION
A syringe for dermal regeneration comprises a body comprising inner and outer tubes, a cylinder filled with a first fluid being inserted into the inner tube from behind, and the outer tube being spaced apart from the inner tube and shaped to surround the inner tube such that a fillable space is formed between the inner tube and the outer tube and is filled with a second fluid; an injector coupled to the front portion of the body, the injector comprising a first part, a second part, and a third part; a through-hole formed through one side of the second part of the injector so as to communicate with the fillable space; and a check valve provided in the through-hole so as to block a flow of fluid from the injector to the fillable space and to allow a flow of fluid from the fillable space to the injector.
Devices and methods for drug administration and mixing, and training of proper techniques therefor
A device for training users in a proper mixing of pharmaceutical components, or for aiding in the mixing, or for performing the mixing, and administration of pharmaceutical components is disclosed. The device comprises a housing for receiving a pharmaceutical delivery device containing the pharmaceutical components. There is also a microcontroller disposed in the housing and a motion/orientation detection device disposed within or on the housing and in communication with the microcontroller. A method for use of the device is also disclosed, along with a substance for use as one of the pharmaceutical components.
Medication dose preparation and transfer system
Apparatus, systems, methods and articles are described to prepare and track medications and medication containers as they are prepared, administered to patients and, in some cases, disposed of. Information such as medication type, concentration, and volume are associated with medication containers during preparation and this information can later be consumed/utilized when administering the medication from a container to a patient. Disposing of any remaining medication can also be tracked.
PRESSURE-REGULATING FLUID TRANSFER SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Various systems and methods for the pressure-regulated transfer of medical fluids are disclosed. The system can include an adapter assembly that connects with a medical container and with a syringe assembly. The syringe assembly can include a first reservoir and a second reservoir. In various embodiments, when the adapter assembly and the syringe assembly are coupled, the first reservoir and the container can exchange regulating fluid and the second reservoir and the container can exchange medical liquid from the medical container.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CLOSING SYRINGE BODIES
The invention relates to a device (IO) for manually inserting a plunger-type stopper into a syringe cylinder, comprising a receptacle (18) designed to hold the syringe cylinder; a tubular barrel (30) designed to accommodate the plunger-type stopper in its interior, a holding device (28) designed to hold the barrel, and a moving device (40, 42, 44, 46, 48) designed to move the plunger-type stopper; the holding device (28) having an actuation portion (34) for moving the barrel (30) relative to the plunger-type stopper. The present invention further relates to a corresponding method.
MEDICAL FLUID TRANSFER AND INJECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD
Drug delivery system, injection device, transfer apparatus, vial holder and method of administering and transferring are disclosed which provide for passive warming of chilled injectable transferred through the transfer apparatus and into the injection device. The injection device may include a skin-facing surface including a skin boundary displacement extension or structure around a needle injection site to create a high pressure zone in the tissue. Radio frequency tracking and monitoring features for tracking patient compliance also may be provided.
