SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A SYRINGE MICRO PUMP WITH VOLUTE SPRING
Provided is a system and method for a removable syringe micro pump. More specifically, the removable syringe micro pump includes a pump housing having a first end and opposite thereto an attaching end, and at least one sidewall there between, the housing having a base proximate to the first end and, the attaching end having an attacher structured and arranged to temporarily engage a syringe. A volute spring is nested within the housing and attached proximate to the base, the volute spring having a compressed first position wherein coils of the volute spring are concentrically disposed under tension such that an initial height of the volute spring is equivalent to a width of a coil, and an extended second position wherein the release of tension extends the volute spring normally away from the pump housing. The volute spring has a diameter pre-selected to pass within a barrel of the engaged syringe. The volute spring further having a distal end structured and arranged to engage a plunger seal of the engaged syringe, wherein the release of tension between the first position and the second position permits the distal end of the volute spring to move the plunger seal towards a nozzle of the syringe. An associated method of use is also provided.
On-body interlock for drug delivery device
A wearable drug delivery device that can deliver a liquid drug stored in a container to a patient is provided. The container can be a prefilled cartridge that can be loaded into the drug delivery device by the patient or that can be preloaded within the drug delivery device when provided to the patient. A sealed end of the container is pierced to couple the stored liquid drug to a needle conduit that is coupled to a needle insertion component that provides access to the patient. A drive system of the drug delivery device can expel the liquid drug from the cartridge to the patient through the needle conduit. The drive system can be controlled to provide the liquid drug to the patient in a single dose or over multiple doses.
Microdosing
A dosing system for transferring an aseptic fluid in dosages into a container, comprising a peristaltic pump configured such that the filling accuracy for fill volumes of the aseptic fluid<100 L is 3 L.
Cell delivery system and methods of operation thereof
A method of preparing a syringe in connection with a therapeutic treatment is disclosed. The method can include removing a plunger of the syringe from a barrel of the syringe, aligning the barrel in a horizontal orientation, filling a lumen of the barrel with a viscous material through an opening at a proximal end of the barrel, and inserting a plunger tip into the lumen to seal the lumen. The method can also include attaching an implantation device to a hub coupled to the barrel at a distal end of the barrel. The method can also include depressing the plunger until the cell suspension fills the implantation device and a droplet of the cell suspension is expelled from a distal tip of the implantation device.
SYRINGE ASSEMBLY WITH MARKING ON PLUNGER FOR DOSING
A syringe assembly is provided, comprising a barrel comprising a barrel body with an axial passage therethrough, wherein the barrel body is at least partially transparent and the barrel comprises at least one marking. The assembly further comprises a plunger with a visible marking connected to or provided on a plunger body, wherein the visible marking is positioned at a distance of a piston of the plunger. The marking of the plunger is visible through at least part of the barrel body. Aligning a marking on the plunger body with the marking of the barrel allows for accurate dosing of liquid.
ON-BODY INTERLOCK FOR DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE
A wearable drug delivery device that can deliver a liquid drug stored in a container to a patient is provided. The container can be a prefilled cartridge that can be loaded into the drug delivery device by the patient or that can be preloaded within the drug delivery device when provided to the patient. A sealed end of the container is pierced to couple the stored liquid drug to a needle conduit that is coupled to a needle insertion component that provides access to the patient. A drive system of the drug delivery device can expel the liquid drug from the cartridge to the patient through the needle conduit. The drive system can be controlled to provide the liquid drug to the patient in a single dose or over multiple doses.
System and method for safety syringe
A system for injecting includes a syringe body having proximal and distal ends, a syringe interior, and a syringe flange at the proximal end thereof. The system also includes a stopper member disposed in the syringe interior. The system further includes a plunger member coupled to the stopper member. The plunger member includes a rotatable member configured to insert the stopper member distally in the syringe interior relative to the syringe body with rotation of the rotatable member. The plunger member further includes a proximal portion proximal of the rotatable member configured to be moved distally to also insert the stopper member distally in the syringe interior relative to the syringe body to eject about microliters of fluid from the syringe interior.
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.
CELL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND METHODS OF OPERATION THEREOF
A method of preparing a syringe in connection with a therapeutic treatment is disclosed. The method can include removing a plunger of the syringe from a barrel of the syringe, aligning the barrel in a horizontal orientation, filling a lumen of the barrel with a viscous material through an opening at a proximal end of the barrel, and inserting a plunger tip into the lumen to seal the lumen. The method can also include attaching an implantation device to a hub coupled to the barrel at a distal end of the barrel. The method can also include depressing the plunger until the cell suspension fills the implantation device and a droplet of the cell suspension is expelled from a distal tip of the implantation device.
