Delivery of two or more medicaments through a single dose selection and dispense interface
An injection system for co-delivery of two medicaments (1, 2) having a drug delivery device (7) containing a primary reservoir (11) containing a first medicament (1) and having a secondary reservoir (5, 17, 30) containing a second medicament (2) where the drug delivery device (7) has only one dose setter (12) for the primary reservoir (11) and that automatically determines the dose of the second medicament (2). Both medicaments (1, 2) are delivered through a single dispense interface (3, 16, 21, 31).
Dedicated needle assembly
A dedicated needle assembly (300) that can be attached only to a dedicated drug delivery device (400) is disclosed. The dedicated needle assembly (300) comprises a connecting body (320) extending from a distal end to a proximal end. A dedicated mechanical coupling (310) is configured at the proximal end of the connecting body (320). The dedicated mechanical coupling (310) forms a releasable connection to a distal end of the dedicated drug delivery device (400). The dedicated needle assembly (300) may comprise a medicated module or, alternatively, a non-medicated module. In one arrangement, the dedicated mechanical coupling (310) is integral with the dedicated needle assembly (300).
Syringe for Direct Use with Medical Ampoules and Vials
A syringe for use with a medical ampoule and/or a medical vial, the syringe haying: (a) a syringe body; (b) a syringe plunger having a hollow interior volume which is open at one end; and (c) an ampoule interface element configured for deployment between an outer surface of the ampoule and the surface of the hollow interior volume so as to hold the medical ampoule in the hollow interior volume. A method for the use of the syringe is also disclosed.
Medicament Device
A method for creating a sterile connection with a fluid in a container. The container has a sealing member sealing a first end of the container, and a barrier sealing a chamber in fluid communication with the sealing member. The method includes providing a valve sleeve assembly that includes a flexible sleeve having a barrier portion at an end of the flexible sleeve, a hollow first penetrator disposed within the flexible sleeve, and a hollow second penetrator at least partially disposed within the first penetrator. An interior of the flexible sleeve is sterile. The method also includes piercing the barrier portion and the barrier with the first penetrator, and displacing the second penetrator relative to the first penetrator and the sealing member to pierce the sealing member and establish the sterile connection with an interior of the container.
DISPOSABLE PRE-FILLED SYRINGE
A disposable pre-filled syringe has a protecting tube, a medication filling tube, a separating plug, a pushing module, and a needle module. The medication filling tube is made of chemically inert material and is mounted in the protecting tube. The separating plug is mounted in an end of the medication filling tube. The pushing module is slidably inserted into the medication filling tube opposite to the separating plug. The needle module is mounted on an end of the protecting tube.
Wearable injection device
A wearable injection device for subcutaneous injection of a therapeutic agent, wherein the dose is injected over a specified period of time after the device is activated.
Injector and method of assembly
An injector may include a container having a wall with an interior surface and a seal assembly with an interior surface, the interior surfaces of the wall and the seal assembly defining a closed sterile reservoir filled with a drug product. The injector may also include a fluid delivery system comprising a clean, unsheathed, rigid container needle having a point disposed only partially through the seal assembly in a storage state, and disposed through the interior surface of the seal assembly into the sterile reservoir in a delivery state. Further, the injection may include an actuator that is adapted to move the container needle from the storage state to the delivery state.
Stopper
A stopper for use in a cartridge or syringe of a medical device .sub.[SL6]is configured to be disposed within a container closure system. The stopper comprises a shell comprising a closed end and an open end with sidewalls extending between the closed end and the open end along a longitudinal axis of the shell. The open end defines a cavity and the sidewalls define an exterior surface sized and shaped to fit inside the container closure system. An insert is configured to be inserted into the cavity, receive a force from a plunger rod, and distribute the force to the shell in order to advance the shell into the container closure system. The closed end of the shell in the cavity defining a convex surface configured to be contacted and deflected by the insert upon insertion into the cavity includes an elastic and/or plastic deformable material.
Syringe assembly including pressurized sterile air
A syringe assembly includes a barrel defining a chamber therein, pressurized sterile air in the chamber, a plunger including a piston slidable in the chamber in a sealing relation to displace a fluid in the chamber, a seal configured to retain the pressurized sterile fluid in the chamber between the piston of the plunger and the seal when the plunger is stationary, and a needle assembly extending distally from the barrel and in fluid communication with the chamber of the barrel.
