AUTOMATIC INJECTION DEVICE WITH REUSABLE PORTION
An autoinjector may include a disposable portion and a reusable portion. The disposable portion may include a syringe and a syringe coupling. The syringe coupling may be coupled to the syringe, and may comprise a guide track. The reusable portion may include a device housing, a device actuator configured to initiate an injection of the autoinjector, and a motor coupled to the device actuator. The reusable portion may additionally include a motor foot coupled to an output of the motor, wherein the motor foot may be configured to translate in an axial direction. The reusable portion may also include a drive coupling disposed within the device housing. The drive coupling may include an angled surface configured to receive the motor foot and a protrusion configured to engage with the guide track of the syringe coupling to lock the drive coupling to the syringe coupling.
SYRINGE SUPPORT AND AUTOINJECTOR
The disclosure relates to a syringe support for supporting an axial position of a syringe relative to a housing of an autoinjector. The syringe support comprises a projecting portion, which projects from the syringe support in a distal direction and a flexible portion which axially adjoins the projecting portion. The flexible portion is adapted to axially bias the syringe in the distal direction within the housing. The disclosure further relates to an autoinjector.

SYRINGE
This invention relates to a method of identifying an accurate dosage of medicine in a dosage chamber of a syringe including the steps of providing an accurate dosage of a detailed single dosage medicine for insertion into a dosage chamber of a syringe; identifying the accurate dosage of medicine in the dosage chamber by retaining a notifier of the accurate dosage; securing the notifier with the syringe wherein the accurate dosage of medicine in a dosage chamber of a syringe is shown by the details on the notifier when secured with the syringe and allowing usage of the syringe to dispense the accurate dosage.
Moving basal engine for a fluid delivery device
A fluid delivery device comprises a fluid reservoir for containing medicament. The fluid reservoir is sealed proximate one end with a sliding seal piston. A delivery path is configured to fluidly couple the fluid reservoir and a patient wearing the fluid delivery device. A basal engine mechanism is configured to directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir at a controlled basal rate. A bolus mechanism configured to move the basal engine relative to the fluid reservoir and directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir a discrete bolus amount at a time.
INJECTION DEVICE WITH DISENGAGEMENT FEATURE AND METHOD FOR DISENGAGING A PLUNGER FROM A POWER SOURCE
An injection device comprises a housing, a cartridge defining a chamber configured to hold a medicament, a plunger disposed within the chamber, and a plunger actuation assembly configured to drive the plunger. The injection device also comprises a power source configured to drive the plunger actuation assembly such that the plunger forces the medicament from the chamber a first disengagement element translationally fixed relative to the plunger actuation assembly, and a second disengagement element coupled to the plunger actuation assembly and to the power source, where the second disengagement element is translationally fixed relative to the plunger actuation assembly. The first disengagement element is configured to translationally decouple from the plunger actuation assembly when the power source drives the plunger actuation assembly a first distance, and translationally decouple the second disengagement element from the plunger actuation assembly when the power source drives the plunger actuation assembly a second distance.
Chemical liquid injector, method for controlling chemical liquid injector, and computer program
A chemical-liquid injector includes a piston-driving mechanism (130) that moves a piston member of a syringe containing a contrast medium, which includes an actuator and a ram member which is moved back and forth by the actuator, a control circuit (150) which is electrically connected to the actuator, and an operating knob unit (170) which includes an operating knob that is to be operated by an operator, and a rotation sensor that outputs an electric signal corresponding to a rotation of the operating knob. The control circuit is configured to generate a predetermined control signal accordingly, on the basis of a signal from the rotation sensor, and the piston-driving mechanism is operated according to the control signal.
MODULATED POWER INJECTOR WITH INPUT DEVICE
A system for injecting medium into a patient includes an automated injector including a reservoir, an ejector for ejecting a volume of fluid medium from the reservoir, and an actuator coupled to the ejector. An input device includes a syringe housing, a plunger, a circuit board coupled to a first component of the input device, a plunger position sensor, a battery, and a transmitter for sending an input device action signal to the automated injector. The input device action signal is based at least in part on a signal sent from plunger position sensor. A diversion apparatus is disposed downstream from the reservoir and is configured to receive at least a first portion of the volume of the fluid medium ejected from the reservoir.
THREE-POSITION PLUNGERS, FILM COATED PLUNGERS AND RELATED SYRINGE ASSEMBLIES
A three-position plunger is provided including a sleeve having an opening at a distal end, a pre-load cavity proximal to and in communication with the opening, a first cavity proximal to and in communication with the pre-load cavity, a second cavity proximal to and in communication with the pre-load cavity, and at least one rib. The rib(s) is generally aligned with the first cavity. The plunger further includes an insert configured to be displaced from the pre-load cavity to the first cavity and from the first cavity to the second cavity. The insert is configured to provide support for the compression of the rib(s) when the insert is positioned in the first cavity.
