A reciprocating medicament mixing and injector system, where the energy provided to transfer medicament components back and forth between containers or cartridges can be redirected to deliver the mixed medicament components. In one embodiment the energy source is a pressurized gas chamber, in another, it is constant force spring, and in another it is a compression spring.

A needle assembly is disclosed, which includes a needle protection member and a rotor. The rotor has a rotor body and a restriction portion. When the needle protection member in the initial state is displaced from the protection position to a use position and returns to a protection position, the restriction portion is displaced from the initial position to the lock position by the rotation of the rotor body with respect to the needle protection member. A needle hub has a displacement prevention portion that prevents the needle protection member from being displaced from the protection position to the use position again by contacting the restriction portion at the lock position.

An injection device for injecting a substance into a body, including a syringe having: a needle, a barrel, a stopper, a plunger rod, moveable from an initial position to a final position, a needle shield, moveable at least from a retracted position to a safety position, a locking unit, arranged to lock the needle shield into the safety position, a locking actuator moveable at least: from a non-actuating position, into which the locking unit is in an open mode, to an actuating position, into which the locking actuator is arranged to put the locking unit in closed mode so that the needle shield can be locked into the safety position.

A disposable safety syringe needle and a syringe device including the same are provided, which can prevent reuse and an accident in safety, in which injury can be sustained by the needle. The disposable safety syringe needle includes: an upper part to which an elastic member is coupled and in which a needle member is inserted; a lower part which is coupled to one end of the upper part, and which includes one or more catching parts; and a safety part which is coupled to one end of the lower part, and which includes a catching protrusion, wherein the safety part is inserted into the lower part toward the upper part so that the elastic member is compressed, and the catching protrusion of the safety part is coupled to the one or more catching parts by the stretching force of the elastic member so as to disable reuse.

The present specification relates to a subassembly for a drug delivery device, the subassembly comprising: a housing adapted to contain a drug container with a needle, a cap, and a spacer, wherein the housing has an inner surface forming a cavity configured to retain the drug container, wherein the cap is configured to be releasably connected to the housing, and wherein the spacer is arranged between the cap and the housing.

A mixing and/or reconstitution system reduces the possibility of user error and provides a well mixed and/or reconstituted drug in a short time. The system comprises a device containing a first material within a first chamber, a housing, and a plunger, the plunger comprising a second chamber containing a second material, wherein one of the first and the second material is a fluid, and a movable element with an electric, magnetic, or paramagnetic characteristic, wherein the second chamber is initially closed; and a base unit comprising a recess for accommodation of the device, a control unit, and an electromagnetic unit which is adapted to produce an electromagnetic field penetrating the recess, wherein the control unit can electrically operate the electromagnetic unit such that the element contained in the second chamber moves in a direction of the device determined by the electromagnetic field and fluidly communicates the first and second chambers.

An injection device for injecting a substance into a body, including: a barrel provided with the substance a stopper in sliding engagement inside the barrel and an injection needle; a plunger rod coupled to the stopper and moveable in order to inject the substance, a locking clip fixed relative to the barrel and provided with at least two jaws engaging the plunger rod so as to prevent an injection movement of the plunger rod with regard to the barrel, and a needle shield including a triggering portion, the needle shield being configured in sliding engagement with respect to the injection needle, where the triggering portion is configured to open the locking clip when the needle shield moves from an initial position to a retracted position.

The invention relates to a pre-filled injection device with a non-removable cartridge wherein the drive mechanics comprises a threaded piston rod which is moved helically in a nut secured to a housing structure. During assembly of the injection device it is possible to rotate the nut member to thereby advance the piston rod into a position eliminating any air-gap otherwise occurring between the piston rod and the plunger inside the cartridge

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device, comprising a housing adapted to receive a medicament container, a plunger and a plunger release mechanism, the plunger release mechanism comprising a first plunger boss arranged on the plunger, a profiled slot arranged on the housing and adapted to be engaged by the first plunger boss so as to inhibit movement of the plunger in a distal direction, wherein the plunger is rotatable about a longitudinal axis to release the first plunger boss from the profiled slot so as to allow movement of the plunger in the distal direction, a sleeve coupled to the housing to permit movement of the sleeve relative to the housing, wherein a sleeve ramp is arranged on the sleeve, the sleeve ramp adapted to engage a rib or boss on the plunger to rotate the plunger to release the first plunger boss from the profiled slot when the sleeve is moved in a proximal direction.

Systems and methods for delayed delivery of a drug are disclosed. A drug delivery system may include a delivery member for insertion into a patient and a reservoir configured to receive a volume of a drug. An energy source may be activatable by the patient to actuate the reservoir to deliver the drug to the patient as a single bolus. A lockout system may be configured to have a locked state, wherein the lockout system prevents movement of the delivery member and/or activation of the energy source, and an unlocked state, wherein the lockout system permits movement of the delivery member and/or activation of the energy source. The lockout system may be configured to automatically change from the locked state to the unlocked state after a preselected time period has elapsed. An output element may generate a detectable output after the preselected time period has elapsed for notifying the patient.
