A system and method to enable treatment through cell therapy. The system can enable cell injection such as, for example, injecting beta cells/islets, cartilage cells, fat cells, and others. The system and method ensure that the delivery rate and delivered volume of the material pumped through a tube and into the injection needle is consistent over the course of the start-operation-stop process from run to run. The system and method can automatically stop delivery and alarm if an occlusion is detected during delivery.

Needleless connector disinfecting devices are provided that include a body having a top surface and a bottom surface, a cavity in the body, the cavity configured to receive a needleless connector, an activation arm disposed on the body, a cartridge housing disposed on the activation arm, a swab cartridge disposed in the cartridge housing, and a disposal chamber disposed in the body, the disposal chamber configured to receive used cleaning swabs. The activation arm is configured to slidably move the cartridge housing on the top surface of the body between a non-biased position in which a bottommost cleaning swab in the swab cartridge is in contact with an end portion of a needleless connector and a biased position in which the cartridge housing is disposed over the disposal chamber. Additional needleless connector disinfecting devices and methods of using needleless connector disinfecting devices are also provided.

A medical package containing a medical article, including: a support element comprising a hollow support tube and a support cap, wherein the support element includes a first chamber configured to enclose the medical article and wherein the support cap includes a support structure configured to hold the medical article captive; a stopper configured to be coupled to the hollow support tube in such a way that the support element has a grip part that protrudes from the stopper, the grip part of the support element configured to be held by a hand of a person; a hollow protective cover configured to be coupled to the stopper in such a way as to delimit, in cooperation with the stopper, a second chamber inside which there extends the grip part of the support element, the hollow protective cover configured to be separated from the stopper, wherein when the hollow protective cover is coupled to the stopper, a part of the stopper protrudes from the hollow protective cover, and is configured to form a grip end of the stopper that is configured to be held by a hand of a person, when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, wherein a part of the support element is configured to be engaged by force inside the stopper, and when the hollow protective cover is separated from the stopper, the support element remains coupled to the stopper while the support element is also separable from the stopper when a person holds the grip part of the support element and pulls the support element so as to separate it from the stopper.

A drug delivery system for injecting a medicament includes a housing defining a cavity, a container received within the cavity and configured to receive a medicament, the container comprising a stopper configured to move within the container and a closure, a drive assembly received within the cavity and configured to drive the stopper within the container, a needle actuator assembly received within the cavity and comprising a needle configured to be placed in fluid communication with the container, the needle moveable from a first position and a second position spaced from the first position, and a sterilizer received within the cavity and configured to sterilize at least one of the container, the drive assembly, and the needle actuator assembly upon activation of the drug delivery system.

The present disclosure relates to a workpiece carrier for transporting and/or storing components of a drug delivery device. The workpiece carrier includes a body including a planar-shaped bottom area. The planar-shaped bottom area includes an upper side and a bottom side opposite to the upper side. The bottom area includes a number of longitudinally extending hollow protuberances protruding from the bottom side and forming longitudinally extending cavities in the upper side. A longitudinal end of at least one of the protuberances or cavities faces away from the bottom side comprises an aperture.

A medical liquid injection device is provided. The medical liquid injection device includes a base body, a needle assembly mounted on the base body, a reservoir fluidly connected to the needle assembly and having a guide groove on an inner surface, and a driving unit configured to move a plunger disposed inside the reservoir.

An antiseptic medical cap that may include a base, a sidewall, and a chamber configured to receive a proximal end of a medical fluid port having an opening. The antiseptic medical cap, in some instances, may include an insert having a gas-releasing anti-microbial compound and/or include a nitric oxide-releasing system that is configured to be positioned at least partially through the opening of the medical fluid port when the antiseptic medical cap receives the proximal end of the medical fluid port into the chamber.

A syringe assembly including: (1) a syringe barrel defining a chamber; (2) a plunger mounted in the chamber and moveable with respect to the barrel; and (3) a cap holder assembly containing a cap and an absorbent material removably attached to the syringe.
