An automatic injection device including an injection syringe equipped with a syringe body and with a piston rod mounted movably in this syringe body so as to cover an injection stroke, a piston control member capable of changing between a configuration in which it is in engagement with the piston rod and a configuration in which it is disengaged from this piston rod, mechanism for moving the piston control member between its two configurations with respect to the piston rod. The mechanism for moving the control member between its two configurations includes a camway carried by a disengagement member and a cam carried by the control member. The disengagement member is movable with respect to the piston rod and the syringe body after the end of the injection stroke, in such a way as to cause the camway to interact with the cam.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating a subject in need of treatment with testosterone, including introducing testosterone into the subject subcutaneously, intradermally, or intramuscularly, from a needle assisted jet injection device.

A lockable syringe, which includes a syringe body having a longitudinal axis and including a distal end and a proximal end, and a locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism is configured to be attached to the proximal end of the syringe body. The locking mechanism includes: a plunger having at least one distal plate, and a rod with visual elements for marking an unlock position; and a locking ring which is free in its rotation about the longitudinal axis of the syringe body, the locking ring has at least two visual indicators on its outer surface, and the locking ring has elements for blocking the plunger stroke in a locked position.

A drug delivery device with a housing configured to connect to a dispensing unit including a compartment containing a fluid, a piston rod configured to move in a proximal direction for ejecting the fluid, and a dosing mechanism including an actuation member to be actuated by a user. The device includes a conversion mechanism configured to convert a movement of the actuation member to a movement of the piston rod. The conversion mechanism includes a dose selector member, which is rotationally fixed to the housing and axially movable with respect to the housing, and a dosing member, which is rotationally movable with respect to the dose selector member. The drug delivery device includes a friction reduction mechanism provided between the dose selector member and the dosing member to reduce friction between the dose selector member and the dosing member.

A kit includes a drug delivery device and a dispensing unit. The drug delivery device includes a housing, a resetting element and a piston rod and the dispensing unit includes a cartridge holder. The cartridge holder is configured to be mounted to the housing and to receive a cartridge filled with a drug. The piston rod is configured to move in a proximal direction out of the housing to eject the drug and the resetting element is configured to rotate relative to the housing when no dispensing unit is attached to the housing and to thereby move the piston rod back into the housing. The dispensing unit is configured to press axially against the resetting element upon mounting to the housing to move the resetting element in the distal direction into the housing, and thereby rotationally lock the resetting element with respect to the housing.

A drug delivery device has a housing with a longitudinal axis, a dose setting member actuatable by a user and rotatable around the longitudinal axis to set a dose to be delivered by the drug delivery device, a piston rod that is configured to be axially advanced in a proximal direction to deliver the set dose, and a dosing member for defining the axial advancement of the piston rod upon delivery of the set dose. The dosing member is axially movable along the longitudinal axis and rotationally movable around the longitudinal axis during dose setting, and the dosing member is rotationally fixed to the dose setting member during dose setting. The dosing member includes a maximum dose stop that is configured to engage with a maximum stop feature provided at the housing to limit movement of the dosing member with respect to the housing upon setting a maximum dose.

A device for administering a fluid can include a cylinder, a piston connected to a piston rod, and a tensioning device connected to the piston rod. In a dispensing procedure, a ramp track is rotated until a roller runs over a transfer region and is accelerated toward the first plateau and, as a result, the piston is moved toward an open dispensing end. The ramp track runs on the face side of a wall extending along a circular path. A cover engages over the ramp track, the driver and the roller and has at least one scraper extending counter to the first direction and extending within the wall as far as the inner side of the wall, and thus scrapes off lubricant located on the inner side from the inner side.

Single use hydraulic drive devices and single use large volume injectors are described. A method for single use hydraulic drive including releasing a holding device to move a catalyst coated portion of a rod into a reagent filled chamber, generating pressure in the chamber due to at least one of gas creation and thermal expansion from a chemical reaction between the catalyst coated portion and the reagent, hydraulically displacing a movable object in hydraulic communication with the chamber, and stopping further chemical reaction when the pressure exceeds a holding device force threshold to enable the holding device to re-hold a retracted catalyst coated portion of the rod outside of the chamber. The self-regulating pressure in the chamber enables a controlled rate of hydraulic displacement of the movable object.

The disclosure relates to a control method of a syringe pump, a syringe pump and a computer-readable storage medium. In the control method of the syringe pump, by determining whether a pressure of the first pressure sensor is less than a first pressure threshold and actively stopping an injection process when the pressure of the first pressure sensor is greater than or equal to the pressure threshold, it can be achieved to accurately determine whether a subject can bear an injection pressure, and to actively stop the injection and sound an alarm when a pressure in the infusion tube exceeds a bearing limit of the subject, thus ensuring personal safety of the subject. When the pressure of the first pressure sensor is less than the first pressure threshold, it is further determined whether a pressure of the second pressure sensor with higher sensitivity is less than a second pressure threshold, and when the pressure of the second pressure sensor is greater than or equal to the pressure threshold, the injection process can be actively stopped and an alarm can be sounded, thus realizing dual monitoring of the pressure in the infusion tube.
