The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device comprises: a housing having a proximal end and a distal end; a medicament container positioned in the housing and having a medicament delivery member shield; a medicament delivery mechanism associated with the medicament container; an activation member operably connected to the medicament delivery mechanism and longitudinally movable in relation to the housing from an extended position to a retracted position to activate the medicament delivery mechanism; and a removable cap assembly comprising a deshielder, an inner tubular integrity lock member having a resilient structure configured to interact with both a first engaging structure of the activation member and a second engaging structure of the housing for preventing the activation member from moving into the retracted position; and wherein the removable cap assembly further comprises an outer tubular cap body which is movable in relation to the housing and to the inner tubular integrity lock member from an initial position in which the outer tubular cap body is releasably connected to the housing and is disengaged from the inner tubular integrity lock member, to an intermediate position in which the outer tubular cap body is partially disengaged from the housing for giving tamper proof indication and in which the outer tubular cap body is fixedly engaged to the inner tubular integrity lock member for allowing the removal of the medicament delivery member shield.

A method includes protecting an entire length of a needle of a needle-based device in a first state of disuse thereof with a needle cap, encompassing, by a needle shield, the entire length of the needle and at least a partial length of the needle cap in the first state of disuse, and encompassing an entire protruding length of the needle cap outside the needle shield within a safety cap and securing the safety cap onto an outer surface of the needle shield such that the needle and the needle cap are completely protected and covered during the first state of disuse. Following removing the safety cap along with the needle cap from the needle shield, the method also includes retracting the needle shield to cause the needle to emerge out of the needle shield to prepare the needle-based device for a second state of use thereof.

An apparatus and system diabetes management. The apparatus comprises a body which houses: (i) at least a first memory for storing data inputs corresponding at least to one or more components in a patient's present insulin dosage regimen and the patient's blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times; (ii) a processor operatively connected to the at least first memory, the processor programmed at least to determine from the data inputs corresponding to the patient's blood-glucose-level measurements determined at a plurality of times whether and by how much to vary at least one of the one or more components of the patient's present insulin dosage regimen; (iii) a display screen operatively connected to the processor, (iv) a quantity of insulin; (v) a needle communicating with the quantity of insulin for delivering insulin to the patient; (vi) means for effecting delivery of a portion of the quantity of insulin to the patient via the needle; and (vii) metering means for controlling the portion of the quantity of insulin delivered to the patient via the needle.

A method includes protecting an entire length of a needle of a needle-based device protruding from a needle mount coupled to a body thereof based on providing a needle shield configured to completely encompass the entire protruding length of the needle in a first state of disuse of the needle-based device, and retracting the needle shield in a first direction toward the body to cause the needle to emerge out of the needle shield to prepare the needle-based device for a second state of use. The method also includes transitioning the needle-based device back to the first state of disuse in accordance with a force applied in a second direction, securedly maintaining the needle shield in the first state of disuse, and locking the needle shield with a lock button formed on the needle shield or external thereto in the first state of disuse of the needle-based device.

A method includes protecting an entire length of a needle of a needle-based device protruding from a needle mount coupled to a body thereof based on providing a needle shield completely encompassing the entire protruding length of the needle in a first state of disuse, and retracting the needle shield in a first direction toward the body of the needle-based device to apply a first force in the first direction to cause the needle to emerge out of the needle shield to prepare the needle-based device for a second state of use. The method also includes transitioning the needle-based device back to the first state of disuse following the second state of use in accordance with applying a second force in a second direction diametrically opposite to the first direction, and providing a lock button to lock the needle shield in the first state of disuse.

The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device comprising: a housing having a proximal and distal end; a medicament container positioned in the housing and having a medicament delivery member shield; a medicament delivery mechanism associated with the medicament container; an activation member operably connected to the medicament delivery mechanism and longitudinally movable in relation to the housing from an extended position to a retracted position to activate the medicament delivery mechanism; and a removable cap assembly comprising an outer tubular cap body and an inner tubular integrity lock member coaxially coupled to the outer tubular cap body; wherein in a first position of the removable cap assembly, a resilient structure of the inner tubular integrity lock member is engaged to a first engaging structure of the activation member and a second engaging structure of the housing for preventing the activation member from moving into the retracted position.

A method and device for delivering medications that includes a syringe body, a cartridge nest with an application tip, a plunger actuator, and an electronic lock subassembly adapted for preventing administration of the medication until specific conditions are met. The medicine cartridge may comprise a form of a digital security key and/or physical security to prevent the device from administering medication unless specific configurations and conditions are met. The device may further be adapted with pre-programmed information and may be used with a smartphone, tablet, or computer application. The electronic lock subassembly will only permit the administration of medicine when the patient and/or administrator is verified via facial and voice recognition, biometric identifier, or other unique information. Upon proper permission and/or use of uniquely-keyed and matched components, the device may be used to administer medicine, including injecting medicine into the nasal cavity of a patient.
