Moving basal engine for a fluid delivery device
A fluid delivery device comprises a fluid reservoir for containing medicament. The fluid reservoir is sealed proximate one end with a sliding seal piston. A delivery path is configured to fluidly couple the fluid reservoir and a patient wearing the fluid delivery device. A basal engine mechanism is configured to directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir at a controlled basal rate. A bolus mechanism configured to move the basal engine relative to the fluid reservoir and directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir a discrete bolus amount at a time.
AUTO-INJECTOR SYSTEMS AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING CYST MEDICATION ON DEMAND
An auto-injector device including a syringe, a needle arranged in the vicinity of a first end of the syringe, and a plunger arranged within the syringe. A volume within the syringe between the plunger the needle accommodates medicine, such that movement of the plunger toward the needle dispenses medicine through the needle. A selection assembly configurable by a user to adjust an amount of medicine dispensed by the auto-injector device and depth to which the medicine is delivered. Also, a method for treating a skin lesion or skin disorder utilizing the auto-injector and a kit for patient administered treatment.
INJECTION DEVICES USING A RESILIENTLY COMPRESSIBLE TORSION SPRING AS DRIVING FORCE
An injection device includes a housing for receiving a syringe or cartridge for containing a medicament; a rotary driveshaft mounted for rotation relative to the housing; and an elongate coiled torsion spring having respective formations at opposite ends thereof, with a first formation being anchored in a seat on the rotary drive shaft and a second formation being anchored in a seat on a reaction component. In use relative rotation of the rotary driveshaft and the reaction component in one angular direction strains the torsion drive spring, and release of the strained torsion drive spring causes expression of medicament from the syringe or cartridge. The torsion spring is longitudinally resiliently compressible between its end formations whereby during assembly of the injection device, the torsion spring may be longitudinally compressed and then rotated, thereby urging the end formations of the torsion drive spring into engagement with the respective seats.
Track-indexed syringe
A finger grip arranged to be connected to a syringe barrel having a plunger and a plunger rod for driving said plunger. The finger grip includes a body having a lower side with finger supporting surfaces for supporting fingers of a user during handling and an engagement member being moveable between an inactive position where the engagement member is arranged not to engage with the plunger rod of the syringe barrel and an active position where the engagement member is arranged to engage with a grooved surface on the plunger rod of the syringe such that feedback is given to a user as the plunger is moved relative to the finger grip. An activation member for moving the engagement member from said inactive position to said active position is built-in into the finger grip.

A volume within the syringe between the plunger the needle accommodates medicine, such that movement of the plunger toward the needle dispenses medicine through the needle. A selection assembly configurable by a user to adjust an amount of medicine dispensed by the auto-injector device and depth to which the medicine is delivered. Also, a method for treating a skin lesion or skin disorder utilizing the auto-injector and a kit for patient administered treatment.
Injection devices using a resiliently compressible torsion spring as driving force
An injection device includes a housing for receiving a syringe or cartridge for containing a medicament; a rotary driveshaft mounted for rotation relative to the housing; and an elongate coiled torsion spring having respective formations at opposite ends thereof, with a first formation being anchored in a seat on the rotary drive shaft and a second formation being anchored in a seat on a reaction component. In use relative rotation of the rotary driveshaft and the reaction component in one angular direction strains the torsion drive spring, and release of the strained torsion drive spring causes expression of medicament from the syringe or cartridge. The torsion spring is longitudinally resiliently compressible between its end formations whereby during assembly of the injection device, the torsion spring may be longitudinally compressed and then rotated, thereby urging the end formations of the torsion drive spring into engagement with the respective seats.
Determining a status of an injection
An electronic device comprising: a housing for attachment to an injection device; a first sensor assembly comprising a first coil and two magnets of opposite polarity, wherein the first coil is configured to provide a first voltage pulse as a first Wiegand wire of the injection device moves from a first position proximate to one of the magnets of the first sensor assembly to a second position proximate to the other magnet of the first sensor assembly; and one or more processors configured to enter an enabled state from a sleep state after receiving the first voltage pulse from the first coil.
Drive unit and injection device
A spring assembly for an administering device includes a driving spring configured as a spiral spring and a spring shaft. An inner end of the spring is rotationally fixedly attached to the spring shaft. A spring sleeve extends around the circumferential region of the spring, wherein the outer end of the spring is connected to the spring sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner and a disk-type spring-sleeve cover is attached to the spring sleeve or the spring shaft. The flange and the spring-sleeve cover extend radially away from an axis of the spring shaft and the flange is arranged near a distal end of the spring shaft. A radial stop is arranged on the flange periphery, and a blocking element is arranged on the spring sleeve to be complementary to the radial stop for releasably rotationally securing to each other when the blocking element and the radial stop engage.
DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
A delivery system for intranasally administering doses of a substance such as a drug, vaccine, or the like is provided. The drug delivery system includes a holder comprising a rear case and a pre-filled drug container that is securely connected to the holder. The drug container includes a cartridge for containing the drug, a movable stopper within the cartridge, and an end having an opening through which the substance within the cartridge can be expelled. The rear case is connected to the drug container at one end and an activator at the other end. Within the rear case is contained the means for activating the movable stopper within the cartridge, which acts as a plunger rod, by pressing the activator. Further provided is a nozzle able to be attached to the opening at the end of the drug container to provide a means for precise delivery of the drug.
MEDICAL SYRINGE FOR PREVENTING NEEDLE-STICK INJURY
The present invention provides medical syringe for preventing needle-stick injury, wherein an inner diameter of a middle part of an elastic disengaging ring is larger than an inner diameter of a front part and an inner diameter of a rear part. The elastic disengaging ring is located between a distal wall of a syringe barrel and a needle. When the middle part of the elastic disengaging ring plugged onto the conical fitting of the syringe barrel is radially pinched flat, the proximal end of the elastically deformed elastic disengaging ring leans against the distal wall of the syringe barrel, and the front end of the elastically deformed elastic disengaging ring leans against the proximal end of the needle and pushes the needle to move forward, so that the needle is disengaged from the conical fitting of the syringe barrel.
