An optical sensor for a delivery device having a piston that displaces a substance, such as a fluid, from a reservoir. The optical sensor has a light source and a detector array for imaging encoding features disposed along a plunger rod coupled to the piston. By virtue of the pattern of encoding features, an absolute position of the plunger rod relative to a fiducial position may be determined uniquely. Thus, the volume of fluid remaining in the reservoir, the rate of fluid delivery, and proper loading of the reservoir may be accurately ascertained. Additionally, the encoding may serve to uniquely identify a version of the reservoir which may be supplied in various versions corresponding, for example, to differing concentrations of a therapeutic agent to be dispensed.

A medication delivery apparatus for use with a medication container includes a housing, a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the housing and configured to deliver medication within the medication container to a patient, a medication port extending from the housing and configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically coupled to the fluid conduit, and at least one sensor disposed within the housing to generate information characterizing administration of the medication for processing by a remote data collection system. The housing can have a size and shape that enables it to be supported by a first hand of a user while the user administers the medication from the medication container via the medication port using a second hand of the user. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.

Provided herein are dry powder formulations comprising epinephrine alone or in combination with at least one enabling agent suitable for nasal application. Also provided are unit dose forms and devices comprising such formulations and methods of using such formulations for the treatment of various conditions including anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid reaction, respiratory conditions, hemodynamic collapse, and for administration during cardiopulmonary arrest and other life-threatening conditions.

A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.

A data collection device comprises an attachment assembly for attaching the data collection device to a dose setting dial of a medicament administration device and a sensor configured to detected an identifier provided on a surface of an internal component of the medicament administration device, the sensor comprising an ultrasound sensor configured to detect a geometric identifier formed on the surface of the internal component of the medicament administration device. A system comprises the data collection device and the medicament administration device.

A method of administering subcutaneous treatment to a patient is provided. The method includes delivering, by a needle-free injection device, a first volume of a treatment at a first location on a surface of a body of the patient; detecting a movement of the needle-free injection device relative to the first location; determining, from the movement of the needle-free injection device relative to the first location, a second location of the needle-free injection device relative to the first location; determining a second volume of the treatment to deliver at the surface of the body of the patient at the second location; and delivering, by the needle-free injection device, the second volume of the treatment at the second location on the surface of the body of the patient.

A drug delivery system for delivering a drug product is provided that includes a drug product container containing a drug product, a fluid path adapted to receive the drug product from the drug product container, and a drug delivery device positioned along and/or adjacent to the fluid path. The drug delivery device may include a housing, a fluid displacement assembly at least partially supported by and/or surrounded by the housing, and a drive component at least partially supported by and/or surrounded by the housing. The drive component may drive the medicament through the fluid displacement assembly. Further, the drug delivery device includes a controller workingly coupled with the drive component for controlling the drug delivery device. The controller may operate in a normal operation mode and a reserve mode.

A kit to facilitate creation of and compliance with a personalized injection site rotation plan includes a plurality of disposable injection devices adapted for giving an injection of a medication to a patient in need thereof, each disposable injection device having a permanent, distinctive mark that may be the same as or different from the distinctive mark on other disposable injection devices in the kit; and a plurality of user-defined association tools, wherein for each unique distinctive mark on a disposable injection device, at least one user-defined association tool has a distinctive mark that corresponds to the unique distinctive mark.

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device for setting and injecting of a dose of an injectable medicament, the drug delivery device comprising: an elongated housing extending along a longitudinal axis and having a sidewall with at least a first aperture, at least one number sleeve rotatably supported inside the housing and comprising an outer surface, wherein a first portion of the outer surface is visible through the first aperture and wherein the number sleeve comprises a non-visible code in the region of the first portion.

A wound care device for delivering topical oxygen therapy, negative pressure wound therapy, and a low intensity vacuum therapy for treatment of a wound. The wound care device may include an oxygen supply MEA, an oxygen consuming MEA, a vacuum pump and motor, a pressure sensor, and a power supply and electronic controls. A dressing may be connected to the wound care device for administering topical continuous oxygen therapy and simultaneous negative pressure wound therapy to a wound. A canister or exudate trap may be positioned between the dressing and the vacuum supply port of the vacuum pump to collect and store exudates from the wound. The canister may be combined with the dressing.
