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.

Dual chamber drip controlling device for intravenous infusion sets enabling spontaneous flushing and a method for flushing a dual chamber drip controlling device, wherein said dual chamber comprises a flushing chamber configured as a closed compartment, said flushing chamber being tillable with flushing fluid; an administration chamber configured as a gravity based drip chamber with an inlet and outlet; and two conduits, namely conduit A and conduit B connecting the administration chamber to the flushing chamber, wherein each fluid conduit is provided with restriction means for restricting passage from the flushing chamber to the administration chamber, said restriction means being openable so as to render the administration chamber flushable.

An infusion pump for infusing a fluid from a syringe, the syringe comprising a syringe barrel and a syringe plunger comprising a piston, a plunger stem and a plunger flange, wherein the infusion pump comprises a housing having a display, a syringe retainer for retaining the syringe in place and a plunger driver for pushing the syringe plunger to expel fluid from the syringe, characterized in that the syringe retainer retains the syringe in a position such that at least a visible part of the display is located behind the syringe barrel. An array of infusion pumps and a docking station for docking infusion pumps is also described.

A delivery device includes a base body having an outlet opening and a chamber for receiving a flowable substance to be administered. The base body, having first and second film portions attached to each other by a connection with a plurality of regions, being configured to discharge the substance through the outlet opening by compressing the chamber. The delivery device further includes a pouring adapter tightly connected to the outlet opening. The plurality of regions of the connection include a more resilient region and a less resilient region that are arranged between the chamber and the outlet opening. When the chamber is compressed to discharge the substance through the outlet opening, the less resilient region is configured to come undone and the more resilient region is configured to remain connected so that the substance can be discharged solely through the outlet opening and the pouring adapter by compressing the chamber.

Delivery systems for in situ forming foam formulations are provided. The devices may include various actuation mechanisms and may entrain air into fluid formulation components in a variety of ways, including mixing with air and the addition of compressed gas.

An infusion management platform can determine, based on one or more infusion events, whether to group infusions or segments of infusions. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

In the context of a package for sealing an infusion set therewithin, the present invention causes a plurality of illustrations in which elements and colors thereof which appear in a story, verse, or lyric of a song or nursery rhyme are depicted in images in order of appearance therein, the respective images being displayed on a surface of the package in order from frontmost to backmost in mutually offset and partially overlapping fashion, such that it is possible to extremely naturally and without difficulty grasp the colors and the order thereof, i.e., the order of administration, as a result of which it is possible to effectively prevent misidentification of administration procedure during use of the infusion set. Furthermore, by further causing numbers indicating order of administration to be displayed at the respective colored illustrations, the order of use of the respective sets of infusions in the infusion set can be linked to colors and definitively recognized, making it possible to greatly reduce the likelihood of occurrence of human error.

A device for transferring a fluid has a main channel, at least one secondary channel leading at an opening into the main channel, and a flexible closing element for closing the secondary channel. The opening of the secondary channel can be closed in a fluid-tight manner by the flexible closing element, by pressing the closing element with an external force onto or into the opening. In order to prevent that, in the case of a negative pressure in the main channel, the flexible closing element closes the secondary channel even without application of an external force, at least one projection is associated with the or each secondary channel and arranged in the main channel in the area of the opening of the respective secondary channel, and protrudes over the opening or over a lowest level of the opening.

A syringe system includes a syringe and a filtration device connected to the syringe for sterilizing and introducing fluid into the syringe. The syringe includes a syringe barrel having a proximal end defining a barrel opening, a distal end defining a delivery opening, a bore extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and a stopper disposed in the bore of the syringe barrel. The filtration device has an inlet and an outlet coupled in fluid communication with the delivery opening at the distal end of the syringe barrel. The filtration device includes a stem and a filter membrane disposed in line with the stem. The filter membrane optionally has a plurality of pores each with a nominal pore size in a range of approximately 0.1 m to approximately 0.5 m such that a pharmaceutical fluid can be introduced as a sterilized pharmaceutical fluid into the bore of the syringe barrel by passing through the filtration device.

A method of treating congenital hyperinsulinism in a subject is disclosed. The method can include parenterally administering to the subject a first composition comprising a glucagon, a glucagon analogue, or a salt form of either thereof, and optionally administering to the subject a second composition comprising glucose, a glucose analogue, or a salt form of either thereof, wherein administration of the first composition sufficiently increases blood glucose level in the subject such that the second composition is not administered or the second composition is administered at a glucose infusion rate (GIR) of less than 8 mg/(kg*min).
