Medicament delivery device comprising a movable guard (10) being movable between a proximal and a distal position and a locking mechanism (15) having a lever (16), the lever (16) restricting movement of an actuation locking member (24) until the movable guard is positioned in a distal position and the lever (16) restricting movement of the guard (10) in a proximal position after actuation of the device.

An assembly machine for assembling a rigid needle guard (10) having an inner part (11) made of elastomeric material, and a rigid outer body (12) that is fastened to the inner part (11) made of elastomeric material via a folded-in portion (121) of the bottom axial end of the rigid outer body (12). The folded-in portion (121) extends radially inwards from the outer peripheral surface (125) of the rigid outer body (12), the outer surface of the folded-in portion (121) forming, at its axially-bottom and radially-outer edge, a sharp and acute angle relative to the outer peripheral surface (125) of the rigid outer body (12).

The present disclosure relates to an activation system for a supplemental device that is attached to an existing design of a medicament delivery device, where the removal of a protective cap or other covering from the medicament delivery device pulls a blocking element from between electrical contacts to close a circuit between a battery module and a power source, thus activating the battery module. The supplemental device can further have a transmitter for communicating information about the use of the medicament delivery device to an external device, such as a smart device. Memory storage elements can also be included having unique identification data. The present disclosure also relates to a medicament delivery device having attached the supplemental device.

A needle assembly for use with a drug delivery device comprises a cap releasably secured to the drug delivery device and a blocking member. The blocking member comprises a disinfectant swab and a user graspable portion. The blocking member is configured to be physically moved with respect to the needle assembly by a user. The needle assembly is configured such that in an initial position, the blocking member blocks the cap from being removed from the drug delivery device and movement of the blocking member from the initial position causes the disinfectant swab to contact a septum of a cartridge retained within the drug delivery device.

An object of the present invention is to provide a medical rubber composition having excellent non-elution characteristic and gas permeability. The present invention provides a medical rubber composition containing: (a) a butyl rubber, (b) a diene-based rubber containing polybutadiene, (c) a peroxide-based crosslinking agent, and (d) a co-crosslinking agent, wherein an amount of (b) the diene-based rubber in 100 parts by mass of the rubber component composed of (a) the butyl rubber and (b) the diene-based rubber is 15 parts by mass or more and 90 parts by mass or less, and a mass ratio ((d)/(c)) of (d) the co-crosslinking agent to (c) the peroxide-based crosslinking agent is 1.2 or more and 25 or less.

An applicator for an analyte monitoring device may include an actuatable housing having a body defining a cavity therein and having a distal opening and a side opening. A cuff and a shuttle are received within the cavity and are separately translatable relative to the housing body. A base may removable engage the housing body at the distal opening. The housing body, the cuff, the shuttle, and/or the base may be engaged with one another with one or more releasable coupling features. The base may be removed from an engagement with the housing body, causing the cuff and the shuttle to be aligned and positioned in a configuration in which the analyte monitoring device, held by the shuttle, is ready for insertion into the skin.

A catheter assembly includes a flexible catheter (22), a needle (12) having a sharp distal tip, the needle (12) disposed in the flexible catheter (22) and moving from a first position that exposes the needle (12) to a second position, an outer member (26) that is configured to engage and disengage a catheter hub (14), an inner member (28) disposed in the outer member (26), and a needle protection (30) member disposed in the inner member (28), the needle protection member (30) enclosing at least a portion of the needle (12) when the needle (12) is in the second position.

A medicament delivery device comprising: a main body arranged to receive a medicament cartridge sealed with a penetrable barrier; a needle carrier carrying a needle; a cap removably coupled to the needle carrier, a pre-stressed spring connected to the needle carrier and to the main body, wherein the pre-stressed spring is held by an activation element coupled to the cap, wherein the activation element is arranged to release the spring when the cap is pulled in a distal direction from the device, thereby causing the needle carrier to move axially in a proximal direction.

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device, having a longitudinal axis and comprising a plunger movable along the longitudinal axis and a guide curve adapted to engage at least one part of the plunger so as to guide the plunger when the plunger is being released to move along the longitudinal axis.

An auto-injector includes a chassis and a carrier subassembly. The carrier subassembly includes a carrier arranged inside a case, a drive spring, a plunger comprising a ramp member, the plunger configured to be pushed in a proximal direction by the drive spring, and a ramp attached to the carrier, wherein the ramp member on the plunger in an initial state is locked to the ramp on the carrier to form a ramped engagement to the carrier, the plunger prevented from rotating out of the ramped engagement depending on a relative longitudinal position of the carrier relative to the chassis, wherein the plunger is arranged to be released and to rotate out of the ramped engagement upon the carrier translating a pre-defined distance in a proximal direction relative to the chassis.
