The disclosure relates to a syringe support for supporting an axial position of a syringe relative to a housing of an autoinjector. The syringe support comprises a projecting portion, which projects from the syringe support in a distal direction and a flexible portion which axially adjoins the projecting portion. The flexible portion is adapted to axially bias the syringe in the distal direction within the housing. The disclosure further relates to an autoinjector.

A supplementary device configured to be releasably attached to a distal end of a drug delivery device. The supplementary device comprising primary electronics, a non-contact acceleration sensor and a low power processor. The non-contact acceleration sensor is directed towards a proximal end of the drug delivery device and the low power processor is configured to: receive the signals output from the non-contact acceleration sensor; determine based on the signals that an outer needle cap of the drug delivery device has been removed; and in response to determining that an outer needle cap of the drug delivery device has been removed, send a wake-up signal to the primary electronics of the supplementary device.

A flexible collar including a rigid body having a cylindrical outer surface and a cylindrical inner surface concentrically aligned with respect to a common longitudinal axis, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the inner surface defining a bore from the top surface to the bottom surface, and each of the top and bottom surfaces having an endless pathway confined to a respective plane and circumscribing a respective edge of the inner surface. The flexible collar further includes at least one accordion region having a plurality of pivots, at least two of the pivots being radially spaced apart from the longitudinal axis at different distances, and the accordion region being configured to radially deform.

A cap assembly for a medicament delivery device having a housing and a medicament container holder. The cap assembly includes a retainer member connectable to the container holder; a hub having a needle and coaxially movable within the retainer member; an inner cap connected to the hub and the retainer member; an outer cap coaxially arranged to the inner cap; and a cap clutch mechanism having a locking member that is axially movable in relation to the inner and outer caps between a disengaged position, in which the outer cap is rotatable relative to the inner cap, and an engaged position, in which the outer cap is rotationally locked to the inner cap. The cap clutch mechanism also has a clutch biasing device arranged between the outer cap and the locking member for biasing the locking member for keeping it in the disengaged position.

An injector device includes an injector body that receives a syringe; and an injection assembly being configured to dispense medicament from the syringe in a dispensation step. Certain types of injector devices include a sudden completion indicator that indicates when the injection is completed. Certain types of injector devices are configured to dispense two different medicament formulations having different viscosities from syringes without making any changes to the injector devices other than to switch out the syringes. Certain types of injector devices include safety arrangements that inhibit firing of the injector device until front and rear housing assemblies are disposed in predetermined rotational and axial positions relative to each other.

A injection-needle cover includes an injection needle enclosure portion, which has paired base-side wall portions, a cylinder portion, paired tip-end-side wall portions, an injection needle contact portion, a hook portion, and a needle tip end fixing portion. The injection needle contact portion is disposed at a position in a base-side axial space, which is a boundary between the base-side axial space and an intra-cylinder space. The injection needle contact portion has a force receiving portion and a connecting portion. The force receiving portion receives a force from the injection needle when the force receiving portion comes in contact with the injection needle. The force receiving portion has an easy sliding portion, which is disposed in an area adjacent to an injection needle, and slides more easily along the injection needle than a case where an edge slides along the injection needle.

A cassette is disclosed for receiving a medicament container, the cassette having a medicament delivery member; a guard for covering the medicament delivery member; a shell movable between a proximal shell position where movement of the guard is prevented by the shell, and a distal shell position where the guard is exposed from the shell; a biasing device arranged to force the shell towards the distal shell position; a blocking device movable from a blocking position where the shell is blocked from moving to the distal shell position, to a releasing position where the shell is released; and a locking device movable from a first position to a second position; wherein the blocking device and the locking device are arranged such that movement of the locking device from the first position to the second position causes the blocking device to move from the blocking position to the releasing position.

A safety needle and hub module for selective connection with a medical device that includes a base and a head. The module includes a needle shield for selectively covering a distal end of a needle. A needle hub is movably received within a proximal opening of the needle shield, and extends through a passageway of the needle shield. An actuation button is movably received in opposing lateral apertures of the needle shield to engage the needle shield, the needle hub and the medical device. In a first position an upper leg of the actuation button is received in a recess of the needle hub, and a lower leg of the actuation button is received in an undercut between the base and head of the medical device. In a second position, after the actuation button is actuated, the module is removable from the medical device.

An apparatus includes a housing, a medicament container and a movable member. The medicament container is movable within the housing between a first position and a second position in response to a force produced by an energy storage member. A proximal end portion of the medicament container includes a flange and has a plunger disposed therein. A first shoulder of the movable member exerts the force on the flange to move the medicament container from the first position to the second position. A portion of the first shoulder deforms when the medicament container is in the second position such that at least a portion of the force is exerted upon the plunger. A second shoulder of the movable member exerts a retraction force on the flange to move the medicament container from the second position towards the first position.

An IV disposable time indication device includes one of a tube and a slot containing a volume of gel, wherein the gel is configured to evaporate at a determined rate of time upon activation by exposure to ambient air. A seal is configured to prevent contact of the gel with ambient air. One or more time indicators are disposed on the device, wherein evaporation of the gel is configured to provide a visual indication of a passage of time after activation. Methods of operating an IV disposable time indication device are also provided.
