LOW CONCENTRATION DELIVERY OF AN ERGOLINE DERIVATIVE FOR TREATMENT OF A HEADACHE
Provided are ergoline derivative containing medicaments disposed within a preassembled, prefilled, single-use delivery device, methods for administering a medicament using a preassembled, prefilled, single-use delivery device, and systems or kits that contain one or more preassembled, prefilled, single-use devices and user instructions, such as for treatment of a migraine or other headache.
Passive Safety Device, Injection Device Comprising the Same, and Method for Manufacturing Said Injection Device
The passive safety device comprises a sleeve having a proximal end configured to be secured to a distal tip of the injection device, a hub slidably mounted onto the sleeve between a pre-use position, an injection position wherein the hub is proximally located with regard to the pre-use position, and a safety position wherein the hub is distally located with regard to the injection position, a biasing element configured to urge the hub distally towards the safety position, and a protector configured to slide together with the hub relative to the sleeve between the pre-use position and the injection position. The safety device further comprises first blocking means configured to block a distal movement of the protector when the hub is in the injection position so that the protector is prevented from sliding back together with the hub in a distal direction.
MEDICAMENT FILLING SYSTEM
A syringe assembly (2) that locks a syringe (10) to prevent backflow of medicament, the syringe assembly (2) comprising a syringe (10) including a barrel (12) configured to carry the medicament, a plunger (14) that communicates with the barrel (12), and a plunger head (16) disposed on a proximal end of the plunger (14), and a locking assembly (50) disposed around the barrel (12), wherein the locking assembly (50) prevents the plunger (14) from moving away from the barrel (12) to draw the medicament into the barrel (12).
Needle capture safety interlock for catheter
A catheter assembly (10) comprises a catheter (22), a needle (12) having a sharp distal tip disposed in the catheter (22), a catheter hub (14) housing the catheter (22) and the needle (12), the catheter hub (14) having a collar (34) including a notch (36), a needle shield (20) connected to the catheter hub (14) when the needle (12) is in a first position, and a clip (40) disposed in the needle shield (20) that cooperates with the needle (12), wherein the clip (40) engages the catheter hub (14) in the first position of the needle (12), and the clip (40) disengages the catheter hub (14) via the notch (36) when the needle (12) is retracted to a second position to enclose at least a portion of the needle (12). The clip (40) is mounted in the outer housing (38) of the needle shield (20) via a spade (66) having an outer wall (70) exposed to the outside of the needle shield (20), in order to reduce the overall width of the needle shield (20).
Systems and methods for fluid delivery manifolds
A fluid delivery manifold system assembled and configured to allow delivery of a single dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., vaccine, drug, medicament, etc.) from a Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) vial to a patient. The delivery assembly generally includes a modular manifold design consisting of separately constructed components cooperatively arranged and coupled to one another. The modular manifold construction allows for rapid manufacturing reconfigurations of one or more components with minimal costs to create new delivery manifold configurations that meet specific needs (i.e., different modes of delivery depending on agent to be delivered, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intravenous injection, spray, or droplet delivery).
Compact injector systems and methods
Devices and methods for a compact injector are provided with a compact configuration for ease of carrying or storage, and an activated configuration ready for injection. In the compact configuration, a plunger and a needle are both retracted into the injector housing, and upon actuation to the activated configuration, the plunger extends proximally and the needle extends distally, ready for injection. An extendable needle shield is also provided to block visibility of the needle during injection, and to reduce the risk of inadvertent needle stick at other times, including disposal.
INSULIN DELIVERY AND DATA COLLECTION SYSTEMS, INSULIN THERAPY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND RELATED METHODS
An insulin delivery and data collection system includes at least one insulin delivery device, a holding station, and control system. The holding station includes a body defining at least one cavity extending into the body from an upper surface of the body, the at least one cavity configured to receive the at least one insulin delivery device and at least one load cell disposed at a bottom of the at least one cavity. The control system includes at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the control system to receive weight data from the at least one load cell related to the at least one insulin delivery device.
AUTO-INJECTOR
An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament includes an elongate tubular case and a carrier subassembly including a tubular carrier slidably arranged inside the case. The carrier is adapted to contain a syringe with a hollow injection needle, a drive spring, and a plunger for forwarding load of the drive spring to a stopper of the syringe, wherein the syringe is lockable for joint axial translation with the carrier, wherein the drive spring acts between the carrier and the plunger, wherein the plunger, in an initial state, is locked to the carrier by a ramped engagement to the carrier and by being prevented from rotating out of this ramped engagement, depending on a relative longitudinal position of the carrier in the case, and wherein the plunger is arranged to be released for rotating out of the ramped engagement.
INTRAOCULAR DELIVERY DEVICES AND METHODS THEREFOR
Injection devices for delivering pharmaceutical compositions into the eye are described. Some devices include a resistance component for controllably deploying an injection needle through the eye wall. The resistance component may be disposed on the injector device, or on a portion of the injection device housing, or on a drug reservoir. Some devices may be removably attached to a drug reservoir, for example, through a luer connector. Other devices may comprise internal luer seal for securely connecting a drug conduit of the device to the luer cavity of a drug reservoir. Yet other devices may comprise a priming-enabling element to facilitate the drug priming of a shielded needle. Related methods and systems comprising the devices are also described.
PEN NEEDLE HUB WITH A PATIENT CONTACT SURFACE
A needle-bearing hub for a pen needle is provided with a distal patient-facing side having an enlarged surface for contact with the subject's skin. The enlarged surface is provided with a radius of curvature that increases the likelihood that the needle reaches full injection depth when an injection is performed at an inclined angle with respect to the surface of the skin and with to the desired depth less discomfort to the patient.
