Determining a status of an injection
An electronic device (104) comprising: a housing (203) for attachment to an injection device (102); a first sensor assembly (304) comprising a first coil (406a) and two magnets (402a, 404a) of opposite polarity, wherein the first coil (406a) is configured to provide a first voltage pulse as a first Wiegand wire (224) of the injection device (102) moves from a first position proximate to one of the magnets (402a) of the first sensor assembly (304) to a second position proximate to the other magnet (404a) of the first sensor assembly (304); and one or more processors (308) configured to enter an enabled state from a sleep state after receiving the first voltage pulse from the first coil (406a).
Devices and methods for conduit distention
Devices and methods are disclosed that provide a syringe actuator device for use in the distention and irrigation of a body conduit before the use in a medical procedure such as a coronary bypass graft procedure. The device can be retrofit to a syringe by attaching it to the cap of the plunger and engaged to automatically apply pressure to fluid in the syringe. In some embodiments, elastic bands attached to the device are easily engaged or removed from a syringe during a procedure to limit the pressure on the syringe to various levels. The device may be overridden by an operator pushing on the plunger of the syringe as in normal syringe operation.
Reusable injection pens
A medicine injection pen includes a rotatable drive member and a rotary encoder associated with the drive member. The rotary encoder is configured to determine an amount of liquid medicine dispensed based on a rotational orientation of the drive member.
DOSAGE ADJUSTER FOR SYRINGE
Provided is a dosage adjuster for a syringe including: a dosage setting part configured to set the amount of dosage usable out of a liquid medicine filled in the syringe; and a setting restriction part configured to switch between a restricted state in which change in setting of the amount of dosage set by the dosage setting part is restricted and a permissible state in which the change in the setting of the amount of dosage by the dosage setting part is permissible.
Method and device for delivering subcutaneous dose through multiple injections
A device for administering needle-free subcutaneous treatment to a patient comprises an actuator configured to deliver a plurality of volumes of a treatment at a plurality of locations on a body of the patient; at least one imaging device configured to detect a movement of the needle-free device from a first location on the body of the patient to a second location on the body of the patient; and a processor configured to determine the second location on the body of the device relative to the first location from the movement of the needle-free device relative to the first location on the body, the processor further configured to determine a volume of the plurality of volumes of the treatment to deliver to the body of the patient at the second location.
MEDICAMENT DELIVERY DEVICE
A medicament delivery device comprising: a first component, and a second component arranged concentrically with the first component, wherein the second component is configured to move axially relative to the first component from a first position to a second position, wherein one of the first component and the second component has a radially extending flash, wherein the other one of the first component and the second component has a chamfer aligned with and facing the flash when the second component is in the first position, and wherein one of the chamfer and the flash is configured to contact and subsequently pass the other one of the chamfer and the flash when the second component is moved from the first position towards the second position to thereby facilitate movement of the second component.
Drug injection device
A drug injection device includes a housing with a cartridge having a predetermined drug volume, a dose setting mechanism for setting a drug dose, and a dose delivery mechanism. A dose setting service element rotates about a longitudinal axis during the drug dose setting. The dose setting mechanism has a last dose setting device to prevent setting of a drug dose greater than the drug volume remaining in the cartridge. The last dose setting device includes a pinion coaxial with the longitudinal axis that rotates about the longitudinal axis with the dose setting service element during drug dose setting, and a rack engaged with the pinion that moves parallel to the longitudinal axis when the pinion rotates. The pinion and the rack have mutual abutment elements that prevent further rotation of the pinion after the rack has travelled an axial length correlated to the predetermined drug volume.
Delivery device
The present invention relates to a delivery device for delivering predetermined amounts of fluid, comprising a body (10), a container (16) filled with fluid to be delivered arranged inside said body, said container comprising an opening for expelling said fluid and a wall (18) movable inside said container (16), a threaded plunger rod (46) arranged movable inside said body (10) in the longitudinal direction and in contact with said movable wail (18), a manually operated push means (14, 60) movable in the longitudinal direction capable of, upon operation, move said plunger rod (46) towards said movable wall (18), thereby expelling fluid, and means for transforming a generally linear movement of said push means (14, 60) to a rotational movement of said plunger rod (46).
Variable dosing syringe
A syringe includes a dosage setter operatively coupled to a plunger rod and comprising a rotatable body that comprises a set of one or more stops for engaging the set of one or more protrusions of the plunger rod depending on at least a rotational position of the set of one or more stops relative to the set of one or more protrusions, wherein a first rotational adjustment associated with the dosage setter is configured to set a first dosage increment by adjusting a relative axial position between the rotatable body and the plunger rod, and a second rotational adjustment associated with the dosage setting assembly is configured to set a second dosage increment that is larger than the first dosage increment by adjusting a relative rotational alignment between the set of one or more stops and the set of one or more protrusions.
Medicament delivery device and system
A medicament delivery device system for delivery of a medicament from a cartridge (10). The system comprises a first container (11) for storage of a first substance, a second container (12) received in the first container (11) for storage of a second substance, and valve means (68) for closing a distal end of the second container (12). The system further comprises a disposable cassette (102) and a reusable firing unit (200). The cassette (102) has a body (104) for receiving the cartridge (10), and a mixing element (148) for displacing the second substance into the first chamber (16) in a mixing stroke, to mix with the first substance to form the medicament. The firing unit (200) comprises a drive element (208) for expelling the medicament from the first chamber (16) in a delivery stroke and a trigger arrangement (240) for initiating the delivery stroke.
