A flow sensor is provided to enable volumetric dose data to be acquired automatically by sampling flow rates of insulin measured by a flow sensor exposed to a flow manifold though which the insulin flows. The flow sensor preferably connects to a standard insulin pen on one end, and to a standard pen needle on the other end. Particular geometries and algorithms are utilized to accommodate the unique requirements of insulin flow determination during an injection event.

An injection device for injecting medicament in a patient comprises a housing configured to house a fluid reservoir that has one of a plurality of volumes of medicament. An injection conduit fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir defines a fluid pathway from the fluid reservoir to the patient. A firing mechanism is coupled to the fluid reservoir and is configured to expel the medicament from the fluid reservoir through the injection conduit. A volume setting mechanism is coupled to the firing mechanism and is configured to select the one of the plurality of volumes of medicament for the firing mechanism to expel. A dose setting mechanism is configured to select all or a fraction of the one of the plurality of volumes of medicament that is injected from the injection conduit when the firing mechanism is actuated.

Delivery systems and methods for forming and delivering biomaterials from two components are described herein. In particular, apparatus and methods for performing controlled delivery of multicomponent delivery of biomaterials into or onto a body part, such as a body lumen are described. More specifically, in some embodiments, the apparatus and methods are directed towards controlled delivery of micro-volumes of biomaterials into or onto a target location, the micro-volumes being defined as 0.001 mL-1 mL (or 1 L-1,000 L) of volume.

An injection device for automatically squeezing out a dosage of injection liquid from a container. The injection device including a housing defining a longitudinal central axis; a first component; a second component; wherein the first and second component move relative to one another when the liquid is squeezed out; a spring configured to at least partially release stored energy to squeeze out the dosage; a setting device to set a rate at which the liquid is squeezed out; the setting device influencing the energy required for moving the second component relative to the first; the first component, when squeezing out liquid, is guided in the housing so as to be movable in the direction of the axis and to be rotationally fixed; and, the second component, when squeezing out liquid, is mounted relative to the housing so as to be rotatable and rotationally fixed in the direction of the axis.

An apparatus for injectate delivery includes a cartridge, a linear actuator, a rotary motor mechanically coupled the actuator, and a controller coupled to the motor. The controller controls a linear motion of the actuator by controlling an electrical input supplied to the motor in a first interval during which the motor is stationary with the linear actuator engaged with the cartridge to displace an injectate in the cartridge, a second interval following the first interval during which the controller accelerates the motor from stationary to a first speed selected to create a jet of the injectate from the cartridge with a velocity sufficient to pierce human tissue to a subcutaneous depth, a third interval during which the controller maintains the motor at or above the first speed, and a fourth interval during which the controller decelerates the motor to a second speed to deliver the injectate at the subcutaneous depth.

Devices, systems and methods for controlling, regulating, altering, transforming or otherwise modulating the delivery of a substance to a delivery site. The devices, systems and methods optimize the delivery of the substance to an intended site, such as a vessel, vascular bed, organ and/or other corporeal structures, while reducing inadvertent introduction or reflux substance to other vessels, vascular beds, organs, and/or other structures, including systemic introduction.

A medication dispensing system configured to prepare a plurality of syringes for medication delivery, the system comprising a turntable carrying a plurality of medication vials, each medication vial being engaged to a smart vial adapter, a translation stage carrying a plurality of syringes, a base having a plurality of arms configured to interact with the plurality of syringes, and a processor that is programmed to rotate the turntable, axially move the translation stage and operate the plurality of arms such that a selected syringe of the plurality of syringes engages a selected medication vial of the plurality of medication vials to draw medicament.
