Injector with adjustable dosing
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.
KEYED CONNECTORS
A set of at least two drug delivery devices includes a first drug delivery device and a second drug delivery device, The first and second drug delivery devices each include a first set of mutual members that are identical, and the first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device each include a second set of distinguishing members that differ. The first drug delivery device includes a first connection device for attaching a first dispensing unit to the first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device includes second connection device for attaching a second dispensing unit to the second drug delivery device, the first and second connection devices differ from each other so that the second dispensing unit is not attachable to the first connection device and the first dispensing unit is not attachable to the second connection device.
Plunger sub-assembly for a prefilled medicament injector, a prefilled medicament injector and method for assembling a prefilled medical injector
A plunger sub-assembly (40, 60, 70; 80) for a pre-filled medicament injector for expelling a dose of a medicament, comprising: a) a container (60) holding a medicament, the container (60) comprising a body (61) with a proximally facing rim surface (64), and a distally slideable piston (63); b) a plunger (40); and c) a tolerance compensating element (70; 80) configured to cooperate with the plunger (40) and to cooperate with either the proximally facing rim surface (64) or the piston (63), the tolerance compensating element (70; 80) being rotatable relative to the plunger (40) to adjust the piston (63) end of dose position. The plunger sub-assembly (40, 60, 70; 80) is formed so that end of dose state occurs by the plunger (40) cooperating with the proximally facing rim surface (64). Pre-filled medicament injectors and methods of assembling a pre-filled medicament injector are further described.
SINGLE DOSE MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
A medicament delivery device configured to provide a variable single dose of medicament is disclosed. The medicament delivery device includes a main body and a syringe arranged in the main body, wherein the syringe comprises a medicament. The medicament delivery device further includes a removable cap and a plunger rod operatively arranged to eject the medicament through a delivery member i.e. an injection needle attached to the syringe. Still further, the medicament delivery device includes a tubular member coupled to the plunger rod. The tubular member is configured to rotate during removing of the removable cap, and the rotation releases the plunger rod thereby allowing the plunger rod to travel a predetermined distance so as to prime the medicament delivery device.
Injection device fill volume management
An injection device including: a body including a syringe locator for receiving a syringe; and a firing mechanism including a rear cap, a plunger configured to be axially displaced in a forward direction relative to the rear cap and a driver system for driving the plunger forwards upon activation of the injection device, the firing mechanism configured to be directly or indirectly connected to the body such that an axial spacing of the rear cap and a barrel of the syringe is fixed during operation of the injection device, wherein, the firing mechanism and/or the body include first and second connection features allowing adjustment of a relative axial position of the firing mechanism and the syringe locator during assembly of the injection device.
Substance delivery devices
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.
Drug Delivery Device Comprising a Prism
The present invention relates to a drug delivery device comprising a dose setting member (70) for setting user variable doses of a medicament and a display for indicating the dose set by the dose setting member (70). The display comprises a number wheel (100), which is rotationally coupled to the dose setting member (70) and is provided with a series of markings on its outer circumference, and at least one prism (90) deviating the image of the markings of the number wheel (100), e.g. by 90°.
DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE
A drug delivery device that includes a housing. The housing contains a syringe, and the syringe includes a container containing a liquid medicament. The container includes an aperture at a distal end and through which the liquid medicament can be dispensed. The syringe includes a stopper within the container. The stopper is moveable between a first longitudinal position and a second longitudinal position relative to the container, to cause dispensing of the liquid medicament through the aperture. The syringe includes at least one identifying means identifying the liquid medicament.
Connecting module and syringe having such a connecting module
A connecting module is provided with a first connecting component, which has a first fluid channel and a first contact surface, a second connecting component, which has a second fluid channel and a second contact surface. One of the two contact surfaces is formed as an inner surface and the other of the two contact surfaces is formed as an outer surface which is complementary to the inner surface. The connecting module further includes a receiving sleeve with a first threaded section and a first connecting device for the first connecting component. The first connecting component has a second connecting device, which interacts with the first connecting device in such a way that the first connecting component is detachably connected to the receiving sleeve. The second connecting component has a second threaded section which is complementary to the first threaded section.
Shuttle Nib for Control of Stopper During Injection
A needleless injection system includes a pusher that pushes a plunger within a tapered bore of a cartridge. The pusher includes a nib, the tip of which is a ball.
