Haptic Feedback of an Electronic Medical Device
Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a medical handheld device that includes an actuating feature configured to generate a trigger signal, a sensor configured to detect a functionality of the medical handheld device in response to the trigger signal, and a haptic source configured to generate a haptic signal including information associated with the functionality of the medical handheld device.
ASSEMBLY, CASSETTE AND MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
An assembly for receiving a medicament container having a container carrier extending along a longitudinal axis, the container carrier having a carrier body, and a flexible carrier arm extending from the carrier body substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis; and a rotator comprising a hollow rotator body and a through hole which extends substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis, wherein the container carrier is arranged to receive the rotator such that the carrier arm extends through the through hole, and wherein the rotator is arranged to rotate about the longitudinal axis and relative to the container carrier. A cassette and a medicament delivery device are also provided.
DEVICE FOR ADMINISTERING A FLUID
A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. The tensioning device includes a ramp which is rotatable via a motor, a ramp track, and a roller which is in contact with the ramp track and which is mounted rotatably in a driver. The device can further include a front part, which includes the cylinder and the open dispensing end, and a rear part, which includes the tensioning device. The front part and the rear part can be formed from different materials.
MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
A medicament delivery device is presented having a housing with an inner surface structure, a delivery member cover slidably arranged in the housing, a medicament container housing arranged in the housing, a rotator configured to cooperate with the inner surface structure, the rotator being in axial engagement with the medicament container housing, wherein the delivery member cover is configured to be moved axially from an extended position relative to the housing to a retracted position, thereby causing the rotator to rotate from a first rotator position to a second rotator position, a forward-biased plunger rod extending through the rotator and having a first axial engagement position with the rotator when the rotator is in the first rotator position and in the second rotator position, wherein the rotator has an engagement structure configured to engage with the inner surface structure when the rotator is in the first rotator position to prevent forward movement of the rotator, and wherein the rotator is configured to disengage from the inner surface structure when the rotator is rotated from the first rotator position towards the second rotator position, causing the rotator, the plunger rod and the medicament container housing to move forward an auto-penetration distance in the housing.
FEEDBACK MECHANISMS
A start of medicament delivery notification mechanism is presented where the notification mechanism is positioned within a housing of a medical device and includes a rear cap secured to a distal end of the housing, where the rear cap has a hollow tubular housing extending proximally from a distal end of the rear cap such that the tubular housing is cantilevered within and rotatably fixed relative to the housing and is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the housing. A rotator rotatably is positioned around the tubular housing such that rotator can rotate relative to the tubular housing from a first position to a second position, where the second position coincides with an initiation of a delivery of a dose of medicament. The rotator further has a contact surface that engages with and subsequently disengages from a corresponding contact surface located on the rear cap or on an inside surface of the housing.

INJECTION PEN DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR MEDICINE ADMINISTRATION AND TRACKING
A method for medicine administration and tracking and system for the same that may implement the method via a health management application running on a computing device includes tracking movement of an injection pen from a start location to a dispensing location, detecting a dispensing event of medicine dispensed from the injection pen at the dispensing location, determining a location of the dispensing location relative to a user's body, associating information relating to the detected dispensing event with information relating to the determined location, and providing feedback based upon the detected dispensing event information and the determined location information.
MEDICINE INJECTION DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR MEDICINE ADMINISTRATION AND TRACKING
A medicine delivery and tracking system includes a medicine injection pen and a delivery port. The pen includes a needle through which medicine is dispensed and an electronic unit configured to at least one of log dispensing of medicine from the pen, control dispensing of medicine from the pen, or communicate regarding dispensing of medicine from the pen. Alternatively, the electronic unit may be part of a separate computing device. The delivery port is configured for attachment to a user and to receive the needle of the pen such that medicine dispensed from the pen is dispensed into the delivery port and through the delivery port to the user. The delivery port includes a detector mechanism configured to detect a presence of the pen and, in response thereto, to communicate a signal to the electronic unit for use in the at least one of logging, controlling, or communicating.
