Syringe for Direct Use with Medical Ampoules and Vials
A kit for the direct use of a variety of medical ampoules of differing sizes, with a syringe, the kit having: a syringe body; a syringe plunger having a hollow interior volume; and a plurality of ampoule interface elements, each one being interchangeably received within the hollow interior volume and configured for deployment between an outer surface of the medical ampoule and a surface of the hollow interior volume so as to hold the medical ampoule therein, each of the plurality of ampoule interface elements having an outside diameter sized to fit an inside diameter of the hollow interior volume, wherein a first of the ampoule interface elements has an inside diameter for receiving a medical ampoule of a first size, and a second of the ampoule interface elements has an inside diameter different from the first inside diameter for receiving a medical ampoule of a second size.
Carpule Retentive Sleeve With Internal Stopper Retainer For Aspirating Syringe
A carpule retentive sleeve with internal stopper retainer for use with an aspirating syringe is disclosed. The carpule retentive sleeve includes a tubular body. At one end of the tubular body is a collar and a stopper retaining sleeve. The tubular body, the collar, and the stopper retaining sleeve are hollow members. Accordingly, a channel runs along the entire length of the carpule retentive sleeve. Further, a method is provided of retrofitting a standard aspirating syringe with the presently disclosed carpule retentive sleeve. Further, a method is provided of using the presently disclosed carpule retentive sleeve to retain a stopper inside the anesthetic carpule.
Integrated cartridge assembly for administration of drugs
An integrated cartridge assembly that is employed with an automated medication administration system in response to the acute medical condition. The cartridge assembly configured to be operatively coupled between a pump assembly and a medical port. The cartridge assembly includes a first cartridge and a second cartridge positioned within a housing. The first cartridge contains a portion of saline, while the second cartridge contains a portion of a medicament. The cartridge assembly also includes a gate member that maintains a separation distance between a manifold assembly and the first and second cartridges when in a locked position when the cartridge assembly is in the stored state. The cartridge assembly is operatively coupled to the medical port via a tube set that is fixedly coupled to the manifold assembly.
Rotary Sensor Arrangement for Drug Delivery Device
A rotary sensor assembly comprises an indicator member adapted to rotate and having first and second axial positions, input means adapted to be actuated by movement of the indicator member, and a processor adapted to receive input from the input means. The indicator member comprises a plurality of actuator structures, and the input means comprises one or more switches adapted to be actuated by an actuator structure. Zero or more switches is/are actuated when the indicator member is moved from the first to the second axial position, this corresponding to a first switch pattern, and zero or more switches is/are actuated when the indicator member is moved from the second to the second axial position, this corresponding to a second switch pattern. Based on input from one or more switches corresponding to the first and second switch patterns, the processor is adapted to determine rotational movement of the indicator member.
Cartridge Holder Assembly for Drug Delivery Device
A cartridge holder assembly is provided, comprising an enclosed cartridge, a distal portion and a proximal portion. The enclosed cartridge defines a longitudinal axis and comprises a generally cylindrical main portion, a distal outlet portion having a neck portion with a circumferential shoulder portion, and a proximal portion having an opening surrounded by a circumferential rim. The distal portion comprises a distal support structure engaging the cartridge neck portion and being adapted to support the cartridge against movement in the distal direction, and the proximal portion comprises a proximal support structure engaging the cartridge circumferential rim and being adapted to support the cartridge against movement in the proximal direction. The proximal support structure is essentially non-deformed, and the distal support structure engaging the cartridge neck portion is plastically deformed.
Container holder assembly
Container holder assembly for use in a medicament delivery device, comprising a tubular body elongated in an axial direction, said tubular body having a proximal end and an opposite distal end, and a retaining member releasably arranged to said tubular body for securing an elongated container placed inside the tubular body, wherein said retaining member comprises a resilient structure capable of exerting an axial force on said container in said tubular body for holding the container in a fixed position inside the tubular body and wherein the retaining member and the tubular body respectively comprises a first and a second locking means capable of achieving a mutual mechanical connection, such that the retaining member is locked to the tubular body.
A medicament container carrier of a medicament delivery device and a method of assembling a medicament delivery device medicament container assembly
The present disclosure provides a medicament container carrier of a medicament delivery device, the medicament container carrier including a tubular body for receiving a medicament container, the tubular body extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal open end and a distal open end, the tubular body including a fastener. The medicament container further includes a proximal cap with a tubular cap body. The tubular cap body extends along the longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end. A slot extends on the tubular cap body from the proximal end to the distal end. The tubular cap body includes a ledge extending from an inner surface of the tubular cap body. The ledge is radial relative to the longitudinal axis, and the ledge is configured to support a shoulder part of the medicament container of the medicament delivery device. The proximal cap includes a counter fastener offset relative to the ledge in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The proximal cap is attached to the proximal end of the tubular body through an engagement between the fastener and the counter fastener.
Auto injector with cassette
A cassette for use in an auto injector for administering a medicament, the cassette comprises a syringe compartment containing the medicament; a hollow needle in fluid connection with the syringe compartment; a rigid needle shield connected to the syringe compartment and covering the hollow needle; a stopper movable inside the syringe compartment; a syringe holder extending around at least part of the syringe compartment; a rigid needle shield holder having a first part positioned between the rigid needle shield and the proximal end of the syringe compartment, and a cassette skin sensor. Also disclosed is the auto injector.
Auto injector with effective insertion system
An auto injector for delivery of administering a medicament comprising: a housing; an electrical motor adapted to move a piston between proximal and distal positions in a longitudinal direction of the auto injector; a syringe holder extending from a proximal to a distal end and configured to receive a syringe, a first spring adapted for moving the syringe holder with the syringe proximally for insertion of the needle; wherein the electrical motor is the only motor in the auto injector.
