Medicament delivery device
The invention relates to a medicament delivery device comprising a locking mechanism (5) for locking a plunger rod (4). The locking mechanism (5) comprises a locking wheel (6) and locking means (7), said locking means (7) being moveable between an active position where the locking means (7) prevent the locking wheel (6) from rotation and an inactive position where the locking means (7) allow the locking wheel (6) to rotate, wherein said plunger rod (4) extends through an opening in the locking wheel (6); and a resilient member (8) arranged at the moveable locking means (7) and being arranged to act on the moveable locking means (7) to displace said movable looking means (7) towards the inactive position where the locking means (7) allow the locking wheel (6) to rotate.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING A CATHETER BEFORE USE
A system and method are disclosed in the field of preparing a catheter for use in a patient, in particular a catheter of an intravascular blood pump, more specifically for properly purging and de-airing the catheter. The catheter comprises an elongate tubular portion and a connected device. The elongate tubular portion is configured to be inserted into a patient's blood vessel and defines a lumen. The connected device is connected to the elongate tubular portion and has a cavity, which may accommodate a drive unit of the blood pump, and which is in fluid communication with the lumen of the elongate tubular portion. In order to securely de-air the system, a sensor, such as an accelerometer, for detecting an orientation of the connected device is provided, and a user may be guided to correct the orientation of the connected device for proper purging.
Cap
The present disclosure relates to a cap assembly for a medicament delivery device comprising a cap body configured to be detachably mounted to a housing of a medicament delivery device, and a cap lid configured to be attached to the cap body, wherein the cap body is configured to receive a needle sleeve and the cap lid when the cap assembly is attached to a medicament delivery device, the cap lid comprising an anti-recapping element configured to prevent the cap assembly from being reattached to a housing of a medicament delivery device once the cap assembly has been removed and the medicament delivery device has been used, wherein the anti-recapping element comprises a projection configured to engage a needle sleeve of a medicament delivery device to prevent the cap assembly being reattached to a housing of a medicament delivery device once the medicament delivery device has been used.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MICRODOSE INJECTION
A system for injecting includes a syringe body, a syringe interior, a syringe flange, and a stopper member and an injectable fluid disposed in the syringe interior. The system also includes a plunger member coupled to the stopper member. The system further includes a finger flange removably coupled to the syringe flange, the finger flange defining a pair of side openings and a pair of bumps adjacent respective side openings. Moreover, the system also includes a swing spacer rotatably coupled to the finger flange, the swing spacer defining a pair of arms, a pair of pivot pins, two pairs of slots, and a pair of indentations. The swing spacer is configured to define a distance of movement of the plunger member relative to the syringe body along a longitudinal axis of the syringe body, thereby defining a dose of the injectable fluid.
Arrangement for Detecting a Position of a Plunger
The invention relates to an arrangement for detecting a position of a plunger (4) relative to a bung (3) in a drug cartridge (1), comprising a proximity sensor (5) located close to a distal end (6) of the plunger (4) facing the bung (3) and aligned to receive light reflected by the bung (3).
Drug Delivery Device
The present disclosure relates to an audible and/or tactile indicator for use with a drug delivery device including a resilient force member configured to reside in two or more states having two or more different conformations, wherein in a relaxed state, the resilient force member is relaxed in a first conformation, wherein in a biased state, the resilient force member is biased to store energy in a second conformation different to the first conformation, wherein the resilient force member releases stored energy to generate an audible signal when changing from the biased state into the relaxed state due to a transition from the second conformation to the first conformation, wherein the resilient force member is bent by a certain angle about a longitudinal axis forming a longitudinal round fold with two adjacent angled wing-shaped sections.
RADIOEMBOLIZATION DELIVERY DEVICE
A delivery assembly includes a console including a vial containment region and a vial engagement mechanism extending from the console within the vial containment region. The engagement mechanism is configured to engage a vial assembly. The delivery assembly further includes a sled assembly removably coupled to the console at the vial containment region and a safety shield removably coupled to the console over the vial containment region such that the vial engagement mechanism and the sled assembly are encapsulated within the safety shield when the safety shield is coupled thereto. The sled assembly, the vial assembly, and the safety shield are configured to inhibit radioactive emissions from within the vial containment region.
ZERO-POINT ADJUSTMENT OF PREFILLED DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE
The present invention provides a solution for zero-point adjustment of drug delivery devices, including twin chamber drug delivery devices with a single dose engine.
ADMINISTRATION DEVICE FOR ADMINISTRATION OF A FLUID
An administration device for in particular intravitreal administration of a fluid, the administration device having a preferably pre-filled syringe and an actuation mechanism for actuating the syringe. The administration device preferably includes a priming device, in particular in addition to the actuation mechanism. It is preferably prevented that the priming device be advanced beyond a defined end position. The syringe can preferably be moved within a housing of the administration device and/or positioned completely inside the housing.
Injection device
An injection device includes a housing, a dosing member held so as to be rotatable and fixed in the housing and an injection sleeve held so as to be rotationally fixed in relation to the housing and displaceable therein. A latching unit of the injection device is configured to act between two components thereof which, during setting of an amount of injection fluid to be dispensed, move relative to one another. A set amount of injection fluid is unequivocally assigned to each relative position of the two components.
