A SYSTEM WITH A MONITORING DEVICE
A system is presented including a monitoring device and a medicament delivery device, where the monitoring device is configured to be releasably connected to the medicament delivery device and wherein the monitoring device comprises an induction sensor configured to detect a state of an electrically conductive drive member of the medicament delivery device in an medicament delivery process through an electrical current which is generated by a magnet field by the induction sensor on the electrically conductive drive element.
PORTABLE ADJUSTABLE SYRINGE GUIDE AND VIAL HOLDER
A portable modular assistive device for storing, measuring, drawing and administering liquid injectable medication or other fluids from a vial and syringe, specifically to insulin for consumers and medical professionals in homes, while traveling and in medical facilities, having means to allow users to quickly, securely, easily and accurately measure and draw the desired amount of insulin and then administer the medication. The device is a portable syringe guide and vial holder comprising a horizontal elongated stabilizer made of rigid light-weight material with high tolerance and low friction, a rigid liquid medication vial protector at one end; a rigid movable syringe carriage with an opening on the top side to firmly hold the assembled syringe and needle to perfectly align the needle to the center section of the rubber top of the vial; a flexible expandable color-coded security strap; a flexible expandable color-coded resistance spacer ring, a removeable adjustable magnifier and calibrator bar, a rigid end cap at the other end of the horizontal stabilizer, with said holder having means to allow users to transport said holder in a pocket or pouch without risk of spillage from the vial, dislodging the components or damage to the vial, needle or syringe. Thus, a considerably more versatile, cost-effective, durable and efficient syringe guide and vial holder is provided that can accommodate a plurality of syringe and needle sizes as well as various liquid medications and other fluids in vials in the first embodiment as well as in other embodiments with ease of tracking quantities, contents, sizes and locations of a variety of vials, syringes and needles.
CARTRIDGE WITH DISTRIBUTED ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
A stopper is disclosed herein. The stopper is configured to be disposed within a medical cartridge. The stopper includes a shell defining a cavity, a core arranged within the cavity, and at least one electronic device embedded within the core, wherein the at least one electronic device includes a sensor and wherein the shell is configured to pass a sensing signal therethrough.
Electronic assembly including an ultrasonic transducer
An electronic assembly includes a casing to conduct electricity flowing between at least some electronic components disposed within the casing. The electronic components include an ultrasonic transducer coupled to emit ultrasonic signals, and a battery to provide the electricity. A controller is coupled to the ultrasonic transducer and the battery, and the controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the electronic assembly to perform operations, including: instructing the ultrasonic transducer to emit the ultrasonic signals.
DEVICES AND METHODS FOR ASSISTING A USER OF A DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE
Devices and methods are disclosed for assisting a user of a drug delivery device with an application executing on a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device may receive information from the drug delivery device related to its condition and/or operation and subsequently select an informational and/or instructional prompt to be displayed to the user based on the received information. The mobile computing device may also generate a display in the application including the selected informational prompt and/or the instructional prompt. Accordingly, the user of the drug delivery device can be guided through the drug delivery process in real time, thereby reducing the likelihood of improper or incomplete use of the drug delivery device.
ACTIVATION SYSTEM FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL DEVICE ATTACHED TO A MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to an activation system for a supplemental device that is attached to an existing design of a medicament delivery device, where the removal of a protective cap or other covering from the medicament delivery device pulls a blocking element from between electrical contacts to close a circuit between a battery module and a power source, thus activating the battery module. The supplemental device can further have a transmitter for communicating information about the use of the medicament delivery device to an external device, such as a smart device. Memory storage elements can also be included having unique identification data. The present disclosure also relates to a medicament delivery device having attached the supplemental device.
Medical fluid injection apparatus and method with detachable patch and monitoring
Provided herein are systems and methods for monitoring one or more health or physiological parameters in a subject. The systems and methods may comprise a patch coupled to an injector. Data may be transmitted to a mobile device or remote server, where the data may be processed. Processed data may be used to inform a subject on a health or physiological condition.
Modular system for a drug delivery device with electronic and corresponding modules and method
Disclosed is a modular system for a drug delivery device with electronic, comprising a mechanical module that comprises a distal end and a proximal end, and a mechanism that is configured to set and/or to deliver a dose of the drug out of the distal end (D) of the mechanical module, an electronic module that comprises a detector unit, and an electronic unit that is operatively coupled to the detector unit,
wherein the electronic module is removably mechanically coupled or coupleable to the mechanical module in a proximal end region of the mechanical module.
Pen type drug injection device with absolute angular dose encoder mechanism
A drug delivery device comprising: a housing; a cylindrical member rotatably supported within the housing; and a plurality of sensors; wherein: the outer surface of the cylindrical member is provided with a single track, the track forming an encoder and having a plurality of first track segments and a plurality of second track segments arranged along the length of the track which are respectively capable of inducing first and second responses in the sensors; and in each rotational position of the cylindrical member relative to the housing at least one different first track segment is capable of inducing a first response in at least one said sensor, thereby enabling the rotational position of the cylindrical member relative to the housing to be determined.
AUTO INJECTOR WITH RECONSTITUTION HANDLING SUPPORT
Disclosed herein is an auto injector for administering a medicament, the auto injector comprising: a housing; a cartridge receiver configured to receive a cartridge comprising a first stopper and a cartridge compartment containing the medicament, the cartridge compartment having a first cartridge subcompartment containing a first medicament component of the medicament and a second cartridge subcompartment containing a second medicament component of the medicament; a drive module coupled to move a plunger rod between a retracted plunger rod position and an extended plunger rod position, the plunger rod being configured to move the first stopper; a processing unit coupled to the drive module, wherein the processing unit is configured to control the drive module to move the plunger rod from a first plunger rod position to a mix plunger rod position with a mix plunger rod speed, wherein the mix plunger rod position is selected to position the first stopper in a position wherein the first medicament component is mixed with the second medicament component, and to provide an onset signal after a number of completed inversions of the auto injector has been performed.
