Provided is an injection device including an engagement releasing mechanism configured to release engagement between a plunger and an engaging member and to cause the plunger to be located at an end point in a manner that the plunger moves from a start point toward the end point by an urging force of a plunger urging portion and the plunger and the engaging member rotate relative to each other around a central axis.

Drug delivery system, injection device, transfer apparatus, vial holder and method of administering and transferring are disclosed. The system may include transfer apparatus and an injection device. The transfer apparatus may have receiving stations for a drug source, such as a vial or vial holder, and for an injection device, and fluid flow pathways for transferring drugs from the source into the injection device. The injection device may include an expandable elastic bladder and an injection cannula that is movable between a plurality of positions.

An injector device comprising an elongate housing having a proximal end and a distal end, and configured to receive a container of medicament, a plunger rod moveable longitudinally within the housing between a primed position and a completed position, the plunger rod being configured to be engageable with a container of medicament. The housing comprises an indicator located in a proximal region of the housing. The indicator comprises a display window located in the proximal region of a side wall of the housing, a projection proximally extending from the plunger rod. The projection is coupled to the plunger rod and is visible through the display window in the primed position. The projection is configured to move between a first indicating position and a second indicating position to provide a user with information associated with a progress of an injection process dependent upon the longitudinal position of the plunger rod.

An injector for injecting a medicament in a patient. The injector includes a container comprising a fluid chamber containing a first volume of a medicament, and an injection conduit associated with the fluid chamber for defining a fluid pathway therefrom to inject the medicament from the fluid chamber through the injection conduit to an injection location. The injector also includes a firing mechanism associated with the fluid chamber for expelling the medicament from the fluid chamber through the injection conduit, and a volume-control mechanism operable to control a fraction of the first volume of medicament that is injected when the firing mechanism is actuated to inject the medicament.

A device for delivery of medicament is presented that has an elongated housing, a container mounted within the housing and adapted to contain liquid medicament, a stopper slidably arranged within said container, and a delivery mechanism comprising a resilient member, a plunger assembly having one end connected to the stopper and a second end being operably connected to the resilient member, a rotatable latch for releasably retaining the plunger assembly in a first position where the resilient member has an accumulated energy, where rotation of the latch releases the plunger assembly such that the accumulated energy is transferred to the plunger assembly for driving the stopper within the container whereby the medicament within said container is delivered to an injection site. After delivery of the medicament a rotator having a hard stop feature aligns with a rib on the protective shield to prevent retraction of the protective shield.

An electronic device comprising: a housing for attachment to an injection device; a first sensor assembly comprising a first coil and two magnets of opposite polarity, wherein the first coil is configured to provide a first voltage pulse as a first Wiegand wire of the injection device moves from a first position proximate to one of the magnets of the first sensor assembly to a second position proximate to the other magnet of the first sensor assembly; and one or more processors configured to enter an enabled state from a sleep state after receiving the first voltage pulse from the first coil.

A device for injecting a medicament is provided. The device has a housing with a container within it which can hold a medicament. At its proximal end the container has a needle and a stopper. The device includes a plunger which at one end can engage the stopper. At the opposite end, the plunger can engage a first resilient member to move the stopper within the container to inject the medicament from the container. The device includes a collar with distal and proximal ends, the distal end engaging with a carriage and causing its rotation and the proximal end engaging with a second resilient member. The second resilient member can engage with a skin sensor which has distal and proximal ends. At the proximal end, the skin sensor can contact an injection site. The housing has a cap which can reduce or prevent movement of the skin sensor.

A substance delivery device (autoinjector) for use with a container (such as a syringe) containing the substance includes: a body arranged to house or hold the container; a plunger which is movable with respect to at least a portion of the body, the plunger being arranged to act upon the container so as to move the container with respect to the portion of the body; wherein the plunger is also arranged to expel at least a portion of the substance from the container; and wherein the device includes elements for adjusting the amount of substance to be expelled from the container. The device can also have elements for priming the container, and can accommodate containers of different size or shape.

A drug delivery device (100) for delivering an amount of medicament comprising a housing and a medicament reservoir (135) with a piston (136). The device further comprises a ratchet mechanism comprising a first and a second set of movable and stationary ratchet members (281, 381, 481, 165.1, 365.1) adapted to provide a first and a second plurality of periodic audible signals, during the expelling of medicament. The ratchet mechanism is further adapted for generating the first and second plurality of periodic signals out-of-phase, whereby each of the signals are distinguishable by a user. The ratchet mechanism further comprises means to provide a radial force to counteract influence from radial play, which otherwise may generate variation in the frequency.

A device for administering a fluid medicament by injection comprises a dosing portion (1) with a collapsible reservoir (10). The reservoir (10) has a maximum volume in an extended state and a minimum volume in a collapsed state. Prior to injection, the reservoir (10) is in the extended state and contains a liquid to be administered, and the reservoir (10) is biased towards the collapsed state. The device further comprises a needle (2), wherein a lumen (20) of the needle (2) is in fluid communication with the reservoir (10). The device further comprises a shield portion (3) with a plug (30). Prior to injection, the shield portion (3) is in a deployed position where the plug (30) blocks the lumen (20) of the needle (2). The shield portion (3) is adapted to move in response to an actuation force from the deployed position to a retracted position where the lumen (20) of the needle (2) is open, thereby causing the reservoir (10) to shift to the collapsed state to expel the liquid through the needle.
