The present disclosure relates to a safety mechanism for a medicament delivery device for mechanical shock absorption, which safety mechanism has a medicament delivery member sleeve, a housing having a proximal opening arranged to receive the medicament delivery member sleeve, wherein the medicament delivery member sleeve is axially displaceable inside the housing, between an extended position in which a proximal end portion of the medicament delivery member sleeve extends proximally from the housing and a retracted position in which the proximal end portion is received by the housing, wherein the proximal end portion has a resilient structure, enabling compression of the proximal end portion in the distal direction upon impact of an axial force greater than a threshold value.

A transport assembly for shipping components of a medicament delivery device to final assembly is presented, where the transport assembly has a plunger rod, a first resilient member configured to bias the plunger rod, an elongated plunger rod holder configured to receive the plunger rod, a transport securing sleeve configured to receive a portion of the plunger rod holder, and configured to move axially from a first position relative to the plunger rod holder in which the transport securing sleeve prevents the plunger rod holder to disengage from the plunger rod to a second position located distally relative to the first position, enabling disengagement of the plunger rod holder from the plunger rod, a rear end cap, and a second resilient member configured to bear against the rear end cap and configured to bias the transport securing sleeve in the proximal direction away from the second position.

A drug delivery system having an end-of-dose detection arrangement for injecting a medicament. The system including a container configured to receive a medicament, a drive assembly which, upon actuation, is configured to expel the medicament from the container, a needle for injecting the medicament to a patient, a needle actuator assembly comprising a movable portion biased by a biasing member and configured to move the needle between a pre-use position, a use positon for delivery of the medicament to the patient, and a post-use position after delivery of the medicament is completed, and a tube in fluid communication with the container and the needle, the tube comprising an expandable portion having an expanded state and a non-expanded state, wherein the expandable portion is configured to be in the expanded state upon actuation of the drive assembly and a non-expanded state when the needle is in the post-use positon.

Injection devices for drug delivery are disclosed. An injection device may include a housing having an opening, a drug storage container including a delivery member with an insertion end configured to extend at least partially through the opening, and a plunger. A drive mechanism may be included for expelling a drug from the drug storage container through the delivery member. The drive mechanism may be activated by a guard member moveably disposed in the opening in the housing, an activator member moveable independent of the guard member and which may be moveably disposed in the opening of the housing, and/or a portion of the housing that is moveable relative to another portion of the housing.

A smart dosing device includes: a supply pathway having a compartment that is able to house multiple discrete doses of a substance; at least one sensor that captures identifying information related to the substance; a wireless communication module; and at least one security feature that restricts use of the smart dosing device. A method of providing a measured dose using a smart dosing device includes: retrieving a discrete dose from a storage cavity of the smart dosing device; and providing the discrete dose via an outlet port of the device. A smart dosing system includes: a smart dosing device having a unique identifier, the smart dosing device including a cartridge housing multiple discrete doses of a substance, the cartridge having a unique cartridge identifier; and a server including a central database that stores usage information related to the smart dosing device including the unique identifier and the unique cartridge identifier.

A dose recording device (100) for a drug delivery device is disclosed, wherein the drug delivery device comprises a housing, a cartridge holder configured to receive a cartridge for holding a plurality of doses of a drug, and a dose setting member connected to the housing and configured to set the dose of the drug. The dose recording device (100) comprises a device housing (102), an electronic controller (114) disposed within the device housing (102), and at least one identifier member (120) configured to be mounted to the device housing (102). The electronic controller (114) comprises switches (116). The identifier member (120) comprises at least one actuation member (122) configured to actuate at least one of the switches (116) when mounted to the device housing (102). An actuation of the switch (116) is configured to provide additional information on the drug.

A medical injection device for supporting a medical container, the medical container comprising a barrel adapted to contain a composition and a needle extending from a distal end of the barrel, wherein the medical injection device comprises: a body configured to receive at least a part of the medical container, a plunger axially movable relative to the body along an axis of the body, needle cover movable relative to the body along the axis, the needle cover being configured to move successively between storage position wherein the needle cover covers the needle, an injection position wherein the needle cover exposes at least partially the needle, a safety position wherein the needle cover covers the needle and is prevented from moving back to the injection position.

A system for delivering an injection of a fluid into a void within a subject is disclosed. A barrel extends from a first end to a second end and forms a lumen extending from the first end to the second end. A plug and a floating seal are arranged within the lumen. A hollow needle includes a distal end with an opening for fluid to flow from the lumen. The plug, the barrel and the floating seal include material and dimensions selected based on a threshold flowrate for a fluid arranged within the lumen to: overcome a force opposed to a force being applied to the fluid in the lumen to move the floating seal and the hollow needle into a tissue of the subject, and succumb to the opposing force to displace the fluid through the opening into the void.
