The motion detector and the main control unit are configured such that information about the movement of the electromechanical device is provided by the motion detector at least to the main control unit. The technical problem is also solved by a method for operating an apparatus, in particular an apparatus or medical device according to the invention.

Methods and apparatus for the reproducible, consistent and efficacious delivery of a therapeutic agent to a subject. The present disclosure comprises apparatus for the controlled administration of the therapeutic agent through an orifice to the subject, a plurality of penetrating electrodes arranged with a predetermined spatial relationship relative to the orifice, and an electrical signal generator operatively connected to the electrodes.

An injection device is disclosed for the administration of several medications. The injection device includes a carrying housing, an activation sleeve surrounding the carrying housing, at least two carpules, a first drive module for the administration of the medications, a securing device, a needle arrangement, a needle protection element, and a second triggerable drive module for the needle arrangement. The first drive module includes a drive element with a number of piston rods equal to the number of carpules. At least one of the piston rods is configured in the form of a hollow cylinder the is closed on the piston side, wherein arranged inside this is a first drive means of the first drive module. The first drive means can be arranged in an accommodation part of the drive element, wherein the accommodation part forms with the piston rods a composite structural unit.

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device. The drug delivery device comprises a drug container containing a drug liquid, wherein the drug liquid includes insulin glargine dissolved therein, and a hollow needle defining an elongated interior space through which the drug liquid is dispensable from the drug container, wherein the needle is at least partially made of a steel resistant to chloride, wherein the elongated interior space is in fluid communication with the drug container in a storage or pre-delivery condition, for example within a timeframe of at least 1 hour in absence of significant exchange of drug liquid inside the interior space.

A dual-chamber syringe may include an end wall and a primary plunger. The primary plunger may include a primary stopper. The primary stopper may form a primary chamber with the end wall. A secondary plunger may be in mechanical association with the primary plunger. The secondary plunger may include a secondary stopper. The secondary stopper may form a secondary chamber with the primary stopper. A primary nozzle may extend from the end wall and may be in fluid communication with the primary chamber. A secondary nozzle may extend from the end wall and may be in fluid communication with the secondary chamber.

The present disclosure relates to drug delivery devices, and in particular, to drug delivery devices configured to reconstitute a lyophilized drug powder into liquid form prior to delivery into a patients body. In some embodiments, such devices include a flexible drug reservoir having a proximal reservoir component storing a liquid diluent and a distal reservoir component storing a lyophilized drug powder, wherein the two compartments are separated by a frangible seal. A compression member may be positioned above the reservoir and held up by a releasable mechanism. When released, the compression member may be driven downwards to compress the proximal compartment so as to break the frangible seal and allow the diluent to mix with the drug powder and form a liquid drug mixture, and then to eject the liquid drug mixture from the reservoir.

A container assembly with improved mixing dynamics for mixing substances in preparation for injection by an injection device or for the dispersion of additives in the collection and analysis of biological samples is disclosed. In one configuration, the container assembly includes a first mixing element protruding into an interior of a container. With the container rotated about its longitudinal axis, the first mixing element forms at least one vortex which effectuates mixing of a first substance provided within the container interior and a second substance provided within the container interior.

A prefilled syringe includes a tubular containment body extending along an axis between a front end element and a rear end element, a fixed plug and two sliding plugs. A bypass channel in the initial position of the syringe is between the first two plugs which form, together with a third plug at the end of the syringe plunger, a first containment chamber containing a first liquid substance and a second containment chamber containing a second solid or liquid substance. The fixed plug is in contact with the front end element and is provided with a non-through cavity offset with respect to the axis and facing towards the front end element.
