Diabetes management systems include an insulin delivery device and a monitoring device for detecting at least one characteristic relating to the insulin delivery device. Monitoring devices may comprise pen caps.

Medical devices, systems, and methods related thereto a glucose monitoring system having a first display unit in data communication with a skin-mounted assembly, the skin-mounted assembly including an in vivo sensor and a transmitter. The first display unit and a second display unit are in data communication with a data management system. The first display unit comprises memory that grants a first user first access level rights and the second display unit comprises memory that grants a second individual second access level rights.

One or more embodiments of the disclosure relate, generally, to a system to assist with manual dosing of insulin. Such a system may include a glucose sensor system, a reusable insulin dosing detector, and a recommendation system. The reusable insulin dosing detector may be configured to be reversibly connectable to a disposable component that may form part of an insulin manual delivery assembly. The reusable insulin dosing detector may be configured to detect insulin delivery associated with the insulin manual delivery assembly. The recommendation system may be configured to analyze blood glucose data and determine adjustments to insulin therapy settings.

A plunger head to measure fluid in a drug cartridge includes a transducer coupled to emit ultrasonic signals, and a power source. A controller is coupled to the transducer and the power source, and the controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the plunger head to perform operations. For example the plunger head may emit the ultrasonic signals along a length of the drug cartridge, when the plunger head is disposed in the drug cartridge, and receive the ultrasonic signals after the ultrasonic signals are reflected from a dispensing end of the drug cartridge. The plunger head may then determine when the ultrasonic signals received by the transducer have an absolute value of amplitude greater than a first threshold value, and associate a timestamp with the ultrasonic signals received that have the absolute value of amplitude greater than the first threshold value.

A drive mechanism suitable for use in drug delivery devices is disclosed. The drive mechanism may be used with injector-type drug delivery devices, such as those permitting a user to set the delivery dose. The drive mechanism may include a housing, a dose dial sleeve, and a drive sleeve. A clutch is configured to permit rotation of the drive sleeve and the dose dial sleeve with respect to the housing when the dose dial sleeve and drive sleeve are coupled through the clutch. Conversely, when the dose dial sleeve and drive sleeve are in a de-coupled state, rotation of the dose dial sleeve with respect to the housing is permitted and rotation of the drive sleeve with respect to the housing is prevented. In the de-coupled state, axial movement of the drive sleeve transfers force in a longitudinal direction for actuation of a drug delivery device.

One or more embodiments of the disclosure are related, generally, to a reusable accessory for a manual medication delivery device. Such a reusable accessory may include a wireless communication interface, a detection circuitry, and a recommendation system. In one or more embodiments, an adapter may be configured to reversibly couple such a reusable accessory to a manual medication delivery device. Dosing events may be detected that are associated with dosing at the manual medication delivery device. Dose recommendations may be provided responsive to analyte measurements and/or dosing events.

Automated injection system disclosed in this application advantageously provides physicians with a simplified interface for selecting fluid sources, such as saline, contrast, or a mixture of both, to inject at high pressures. The injector system may comprise a multi-use subassembly, a single-use subassembly, a fitting to fluidly connect the multi-use and single-use subassemblies, a hand held controller, a user interface, and an injector housing.

Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for administering and tracking medicine to patients and providing health management capabilities for patients and caregivers. In some aspects, an intelligent medicine administering system includes a medicine injection device having a multi-channel encoder that detects fault conditions (e.g., such as open or short circuits) and a patient user's companion device including a software application operable to implement algorithms for detecting faults and communication loss and alerting the patient user for safety and fail-safes of the medicine injection device.

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.

An injection pen to deliver a predefined dose of substance according to a prescribed schedule is disclosed. The injection pen includes a first portion having a medicinal chamber and a removable cover. The medicinal chamber is coupled to a piston on one end and attachable to an injection needle on an opposite end. The removable cover includes a solution dispenser. The injection pen includes a second portion couplable to the first portion. The second portion includes an actuator coupled to the piston for actuating the piston in an injection. The actuator may be controlled by an electronic circuit board embedded within the injection pen to regulate the delivery of a substance in the medicinal chamber based on a prescribed dose and injection schedule.
