The present disclosure refers to an injection device including a housing containing a dose setting mechanism, a cartridge holder containing a cartridge with a medicament, and a heat shrinkable label which includes information and/or symbols about the medicament. The injection device is a disposable injection device with the cartridge holder inseparably locked to the housing. The heat shrinkable label is heat shrunk on the housing and the cartridge holder such that it at least partially covers the housing and the cartridge holder.

Aspects of the present disclosure disclose a system for delivering a medication. In one aspect, the disclosure is directed to a medical dispensing device that includes a label with a series of zones of varying widths, with each of the zones corresponding to a pre-determined volumetric dose of a drug that is correlated to a physical characteristic of a patient. In one specific example, the label is further affixed to the medical dispensing device such that a smallest dose of the drug to be administered corresponds to a first zone that is proximate an opening through which the drug is to be dispensed.

Apparatus for delivery of bone includes a syringe body and a plunger. The syringe body includes a tip at a bottom thereof, a funnel-shaped top at the top thereof, and a tubular section having a generally cylindrical interior wall defining a passageway extending from the funnel-shaped top to the tip. The plunger includes an elongate piston, a press head, and a handle. The piston extends between the press head at a lower end of the plunger, and the handle at an upper end of the plunger. The plunger is removably received within the passageway, with an extent of the plunger extending out of the funnel-shaped top away from the syringe body. The syringe body may be loaded with one or more bone pellets or cartridges containing bone.

An injector device comprising an elongate housing having a proximal end and a distal end, and configured to receive a container of medicament, a plunger rod moveable longitudinally within the housing between a primed position and a completed position, the plunger rod being configured to engage a container of medicament when received in the housing; wherein the housing comprises an indicator located in a proximal region of the housing; the indicator comprising a spindle, the spindle comprising a shaft and a dial, and wherein the shaft of the spindle comprises a threaded arrangement configured to engage with a threaded arrangement on the plunger rod such that longitudinal movement of the plunger rod from the primed position towards the completed position is configured to cause the dial of the spindle to rotate to provide a user with information associated with the progress of the injection process dependent upon the longitudinal position of the plunger rod.

The present disclosure relates to a method of pairing an electronic data logging device of a drug delivery device with an external electronic device and to a respective drug delivery device. The drug delivery device comprises a housing configured to accommodate the medicament and to receive and/or mechanically engage with the electronic data logging device. The drug delivery device further comprises a first device component and a second device component. The first device component is movable relative to the second device component from a first positional state to a second positional state. The first device component comprises a first outer surface, and the second device component comprises a second outer surface. At least one of the first outer surface and the second outer surface comprises a first code portion of a pairing code for establishing a communication link between the electronic data logging device and an external electronic device.

A supplemental device for attachment to an injection device, the supplemental device comprising: a housing; an electromechanical switch arrangement having an open state and a closed state, the electromechanical switch arrangement comprising a protrusion configured to contact a surface of the injection device while the supplemental device is attached to the injection device; a dose dialled detector operable to detect a dose of medicament dialled into the attached injection device; and a processor arrangement configured to: monitor the detected dose of medicament dialled into the attached injection device; detect a change in the state of the electromechanical switch arrangement; and change a display output of the supplemental device when a change in the state of the electromechanical switch arrangement is detected while a zero dose is dialled into the attached injection device.

A computer-controlled injector for use with a medicament cartridge and including a housing having a medicament cartridge receiving volume and a medicament cartridge insertion and removal opening communicating with the medicament cartridge receiving volume; a pivot mount element mounted onto the housing for selectably enabling access to the medicament cartridge receiving volume via the opening; a mechanical latch selectably locking the pivot mount element in a closed operative orientation; and an injection drive mechanism including a computer-controlled motor for driving a piston, forming part of the medicament cartridge, for injecting a medicament, the computer-controlled motor also being operative for operating the mechanical latch.

A drug delivery device includes a container for storing a drug, the container having a stopper for expelling the drug; an injection drive comprising an energy source for directly or indirectly acting on the stopper to expel the drug; a sensor for detecting contact between the drug delivery device and a body of a patient; and a user interface (UI) for activating or causing the activation of the injection drive. The device is operative for drawing attention to the UI, if the sensor detects contact between the drug delivery device and the body of the patient, to thereby indicate that the injection drive is ready to be activated, which activation is the next step in the drug administration process.

An improved device delivers a fluid medicament to the subcutaneous tissue of a user. The device is better suited for patients with Parkinson's Disease and other central nervous system disorders, than conventional infusion devices. The device can include a reusable part including a drive component (e.g., motor) and control electronics and a disposable part including a medicament reservoir. Medicament can be evacuated from the medicament reservoir by a plunger assembly that includes a plunger attached to a lead screw that is rotated by a nut, all within the disposable part. The device can be fluidically coupled with the tissue via a flexible cannula. Various embodiments relate to an improved cannula insertion mechanism that delivers the cannula under a force applied by a spring. Various embodiments relate to improved filling of the device, for example, using a vial adapter and an automated filling station.
