MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device. The medicament delivery device comprises a housing, a dispensing mechanism and an actuator. The housing has first and second portions. The dispensing mechanism comprises a reservoir disposed in the housing. The dispensing mechanism is operable to dispense medicament from the reservoir when the reservoir contains medicament. The first portion of the housing comprises a distal end and the second portion is moveable towards the distal end from an initial position to a primed position. The dispensing mechanism is rendered inoperable when the second portion is in the initial portion. The actuator is actuatable to operate the dispensing mechanism when the second portion is in the primed position.

DETERMINATION OF ADJUSTMENTS TO FLUID DELIVERY SETTINGS
Disclosed are techniques related to determination of adjustments to fluid delivery settings. The techniques may involve accessing an input meal size category, where the input meal size category is selected from among a plurality of meal size categories via a user interface; accessing a plurality of groups of historical meal events for a person, where each group of the plurality of groups is associated with a respective meal size category of the plurality of meal size categories and includes respective historical meal events for the person categorized in the respective meal size category; identifying a group, in the plurality of groups of historical meal events for the person, having ane associated meal size category that matches the input meal size category; identifying a person-specific carbohydrate amount representative of the historical meal events in the identified group; and determining a bolus dosage value of insulin based on the person-specific carbohydrate amount.
CONTINUOUS DOSING SYSTEMS AND APPROACHES
A drug delivery system includes a delivery container including a container body adapted to accommodate a drug therein, a supply line, and a flow rate monitor. The delivery container further includes inlet and outlet ports and is constructed from a resilient material. The container body is adapted to exert an urging force on the drug to expel the drug from the outlet port. The supply line is operably coupled to the outlet port to deliver the drug to a user. The flow rate monitor is operably coupled to at least one of the delivery container and the supply line. The flow rate monitor includes a flow rate sensor that senses a flow rate of the drug within the supply line.
Needle insertion mechanism for drug delivery device
An insertion mechanism for a wearable drug delivery device includes a needle hub, a needle coupled to the needle hub, a flexible boot removably coupled to the needle hub, and a cannula coupled to the flexible boot. The needle hub, the needle, the flexible boot, and the cannula are movable between a first position and a second position. Upon moving the needle hub, the needle, the flexible boot, and the cannula from the first position to the second position, the cannula engages a floor member to restrict movement of the cannula and the flexible movement towards the first position.
Wearable band for automatic injection of medicine
A system for automatically injecting a substance. The system includes an injecting device, which includes an injecting cartridge, a biasing mechanism and a latch. The injecting cartridge includes a syringe having a needle and a plunger, and an injecting mechanism for moving the syringe and pushing the plunger of the syringe. The injecting cartridge includes a needle and a plunger, and an injecting mechanism for moving the syringe and pushing the plunger of the syringe. The biasing mechanism pivots the injecting cartridge from a storage position into an injecting position. The latch is moveable from a holding position for holding the biasing mechanism in the storage position to a release position for releasing the biasing mechanism. The system may further comprise sensors to measuring physical signs of a user. The system may also include controller to control the automatic injection of the substance.
Integrated rapid chemical delivery systems
A rapid chemical delivery system is presented. The system includes a portable handheld chemical storage receiving receptacle, wherein the receptacle is configured to receive and mate with an insertable chemical container and wherein the container houses a chemical. The system also includes a base affixed to the chemical storage receptacle, wherein a side of the base is configured to connect with an object and another opposing side is configured to attach to the chemical storage receptacle. The system further includes a rapid chemical deployment mechanism utilizing the portable handheld chemical storage receptacle and arranged to deploy the chemical from the chemical container when activated.
KIT FOR OPIOID OVERDOSE MONITORING
An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system packaged as a kit includes a sensor assembly including a sensor that is configured to sense the at least one physiological parameter, a base station that includes a processor and memory storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to process data from the sensor to provide the at least one physiological parameter and to determine an opioid overdose event based on the at least one physiological parameter, a self-administrating medication applicator having an injector and a dose of an opioid receptor antagonist, and a tray having molded depressions to hold the base station, the sensor assembly, and the self-administrating medication applicator.
OPIOID OVERDOSE MONITORING
An overdose of opioids can cause the user to stop breathing, resulting in death. A physiological monitoring system monitors respiration based on oxygen saturation readings from a fingertip pulse oximeter in communication with a smart mobile device and sends opioid monitoring information from the smart mobile device to an opioid overdose monitoring service. The opioid overdose monitoring service notifies a first set of contacts when the opioid monitoring information
Method for producing medically-deliverable intravenous solution
A device, kit, and method for producing medically-deliverable intravenous solution may include supplying a water to a housing, pumping the water through the housing while purifying the water, metering concentrated intravenous solution into the water to create a medically-deliverable intravenous solution, and dispensing the medically-deliverable intravenous solution, such as immediate intravenous infusion to a patient.
