A medicament delivery device having a container holder assembly is also provided.

Drug delivery device and method of operation

A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.

Pen needle multiple carrier injection system
11504483 · 2022-11-22 · ·

A multiple carrier injection system includes an adapter, having at least one arm, and a pen needle assembly. The pen needle assembly includes a hub retaining a needle and a bullet having a cover to seal the bullet, where the bullet encloses the hub in a first position. The arm engages the adapter to the hub, and the arm causes the hub to rotate within the bullet to move the hub into a second position.

METHOD OF SEALING A SYRINGE BARREL
20230049720 · 2023-02-16 ·

Disclosed is a method of sealing a syringe barrel having a syringe tip with a collar. The syringe tip is sealed with a resilient closure. A tamper evident syringe tip cap comprising a cap member and a sleeve member separated by an annular first breaking line is then pushed over the resilient closure, to couple the proximal end of the sleeve member with the collar. The distal end of the resilient closure is accommodated in the cap member and protrudes beyond the sleeve member. The first breaking line is bridged by a coupling strip. For use of the syringe and providing access to the closure, the first breaking line is broken by pivoting the cap member away. The sleeve member remains coupled to the collar. Further tearing the cap member downward causes breaking a second breaking line provided in the sleeve member, thereby enabling removing the entire syringe tip cap.
