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.

A wearable drug delivery device that can deliver a liquid drug stored in a container to a patient is provided. The container can be a prefilled cartridge that can be loaded into the drug delivery device by the patient or that can be preloaded within the drug delivery device when provided to the patient. A sealed end of the container is pierced to couple the stored liquid drug to a needle conduit that is coupled to a needle insertion component that provides access to the patient. A drive system of the drug delivery device can expel the liquid drug from the cartridge to the patient through the needle conduit. The drive system can be controlled to provide the liquid drug to the patient in a single dose or over multiple doses.

A drug delivery system includes a drug delivery device that delivers medicament to a user and a storage container having a container body that defines at least one storage compartment. The storage container includes a controller, at least one temperature sensor associated with the at least one storage compartment, at least one temperature control device associated with the at least one storage compartment, and at least one retention mechanism coupled to the storage container. In response to a user input, the controller is adapted to activate the at least one temperature control device to adjust the temperature in the at least one storage compartment to an administration temperature and transmit a signal to the at least one retention mechanism to release the drug delivery device from the at least one storage compartment after the temperature in the at least one storage compartment reaches the administration temperature.

Systems, methods, and articles for providing an antimicrobial composition to the proximal elements of a trans-dermal catheter and into the lumen of the transdermal catheter are disclosed. In an embodiment, an antimicrobial composition on surface a cap element transfers antimicrobial to the proximal end of the transdermal catheter. The system comprises an elongate member configured for insertion into a lumen of a catheter, the elongate member containing an antimicrobial.

A medicant injection device includes a compressible body, a tip, and an outer luer body. The compressible body has a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of bellows, and defines an inner cavity for holding a liquid medicant. The tip is positioned at the proximal end of the compressible body. The outer luer body includes internal threads, and is positioned over and engaged with the tip to form a first fitting therewith. The first fitting is configured to be connected with a second fitting. A medicant injection device includes a compressible body having first and second arms, a receptacle interconnected with the compressible body and defining an inner cavity, and a first fitting configured to engage a second fitting. The compressible body is configured to be compressed by forcing the distal end of the first and second arm toward each other.

Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage medium are provided for providing clinical information for a person, such as a test result, immediately and the information automatically and immediately pushed to the ordering physicians device. A graphical representation is generated for a clinician to select clinical notification options. The received selection creates a notification to be automatically sent to one or more clinician devices. Automatic notifications reduce delay in clinician action when new clinician information is provided.

An assembly includes a sealed drug reservoir unit, a subcutaneous flow conducting device in the form of a needle unit or an infusion set, and a flow communication unit. The flow communication unit includes a proximal hollow needle adapted to penetrate a needle-penetrable septum of the reservoir, a first flow-way inflow communication with the proximal needle and comprising a pressure-controlled valve, a second flow-way in flow communication with the first flow-way, an amount of preservative arranged to react with a substance received by the second flow-way, and distal flow communication structure adapted to provide flow communication between the second flow-way and the needle unit. The valve is controlled to open when the reservoir is pressurized, the preservative being provided to react with substances introduced to the second flow way via the needle unit.

A structure for packaging containers for pharmaceutical use including a support plane fitted with a plurality of seats for housing containers for pharmaceutical use, the seats having main extension axes (X-X), parallel to each other, the seats being delimited by perimeter walls which project from the support plane towards a top side of the structure, where on the side of a top face of the seats, intended to receive in abutment an undercut element of said containers, a raised perimeter of each seat is provided to delimit and surround at least partially an annular pocket, enlarged with respect to the seat and intended to receive in abutment the undercut element of said containers for pharmaceutical use.

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.
