External cap having needle protection cap remover element and method for assembling an injection device

An injection device includes a product container having an injection needle, a needle protection cap detachably secured to the product container surrounds the injection needle and seals same in a sterile manner. A cap is connected to the needle protection cap, via a remover element having an engaging element, in such a way that the removal of the cap from the injection device brings about the removal of the needle protection cap from the product container, where the engaging element is in an engaging position in relation to the needle protection cap, where in the engaging position, a section of the needle protection cap is arranged distally in line with the engaging element, characterized in that the cap and the engaging element are coupled in such a way that the cap is or can be moved relative to the engaging element during the removal from the injection device.

Injection device with outer cap with needle protection cap removal element and method for assembling an injection device

An injection device comprising a cap for removing a needle protection cap from a product container, and a method for assembling an injection device. The cap comprises an engaging element for removing the needle protection cap from the product container when the cap is removed from the injection device. The engaging element can be deformed in such a way that the engaging element can be moved from a distanced position, in which the engaging element is radially distanced from the needle protection cap, into an engagement position, in which the engaging element engages with the needle protection cap, with the engaging element being deformed when the cap is removed.

DEVICES AND PROCESSES FOR DELIVERY OF THERAPEUTIC FLUIDS

A therapeutic agent delivery system comprises a housing. A therapeutic agent delivery assembly is carried by the housing. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly comprises a chamber having a passageway. A therapeutic agent is carried in the passageway, and a needle is in communication with the passageway. The therapeutic agent delivery assembly may be translatable relative to the housing from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration. Actuation of a user input may translate the therapeutic agent delivery assembly from the stowed configuration to the deployed configuration. An input restraint may be rotatable relative to the housing from a first rotational configuration to a second rotational configuration. In the first rotational configuration the input restraint may inhibit actuation of the user input, and in the second rotational configuration the input restraint may permit actuation of the user input.

DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUCH DELIVERY SYSTEM
20220088315 · 2022-03-24 ·

A delivery system includes a cartridge storing a liquid, and a dosing mechanism being configured to connect to the cartridge and to dispense a predetermined amount of liquid from the cartridge. The cartridge is non-reversibly transformable from a filling configuration, in which liquid can be drawn into the cartridge, to a dispensing configuration, in which liquid can only be dispensed from the cartridge

SAFETY MECHANISM FOR A DIALYSIS SYSTEM
20220080092 · 2022-03-17 ·

A dialysis machine (e.g., a peritoneal dialysis (PD) machine) can include a safety feature that is used to isolate individual fluid lines attached to a disposable cassette. The PD machine can include an interface for a disposable cassette, a plurality of safety mechanisms, and a processor. A plurality of fluid lines are connected to the disposable cassette, and each safety mechanism corresponds to a particular fluid line in the plurality of fluid lines. The processor is configured to detect a hazard condition, such as a loss of power to the PD machine or leak in the disposable cassette, and activate one or more safety mechanisms to isolate corresponding fluid lines connected to the disposable cassette. In one embodiment, the safety mechanisms are spring-loaded clamping mechanisms configured to compress a distensible tube connected to the fluid line. In another embodiment, the safety mechanisms include relay solenoids and/or check valves.

REUSE PREVENTION FOR SINGLE-USE VALVES FOR MEDICAL DEVICES

The cleaning valves (or valves) of the current disclosure are generally single-use devices (SUDs) and therefore disposable. Reusing SUDs can be disadvantageous, as single-use devices are not designed to be reusable. Accordingly, valves (or valve assemblies) for medical devices, such as endoscopes, disclosed may be configured to transition from a first state to a second state in response to utilization of the valve, e.g., to control fluid flow through a valve well. The transition from the first state to the second state may prevent reuse of valves of the present disclosure. For instance, a lumen between first and second orifices in a valve stem may be blocked or disconnected.

UTILIZATION INDICATORS FOR SINGLE-USE VALVES FOR MEDICAL DEVICES

The cleaning valves (or valves) of the current disclosure are generally single-use devices (SUDs) and therefore disposable. Reusing SUDs can be disadvantageous, as single-use devices are not designed to be reusable. Accordingly, valves for medical devices, such as endoscopes, disclosed may be configured to transition from a first state to a second state for indication of utilization of the valve, e.g., via exposure to a valve well. The transition from the first state to the second state may prevent reuse valves of the present disclosure. In embodiments, the valve may be made from a limited number of components and materials.

SANITARY EXTUBATION COVER AND METHOD FOR ITS USE
20220111170 · 2022-04-14 ·

A sanitary extubation cover used to cover an endotracheal tube and a patient's face in order to accommodate sanitary extubation. The sanitary extubation cover includes a mask and a cover which covers the endotracheal tube. If the patient coughs, the cough would be directed into the mask and the endotracheal tube (which is covered by the cover) but contaminants from the cough would be suppressed from spreading into the open air. The mask can have an air cushion at the bottom of the mask in order to securely press against the patient's face. Th ask can also have a solid silicone base at the bottom of the mask in order to securely press against the patient's face.

Drug Delivery Device with Restricted Cap Replacement
20220072239 · 2022-03-10 ·

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device that has a housing and a cap. The drug delivery device also has a lock that prevents the cap being fully replaced on the housing after the cap has been removed.

TEMPERATURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR PATIENTS DURING STATIONARY AND MOBILE ECLS/ECMO THERAPY
