A drug delivery device includes a housing, a cartridge received within the housing, with the cartridge configured to receive a medicament, a drive assembly received within the housing and configured to engage the cartridge and dispense medicament from the cartridge, and a needle actuator assembly received within the housing, with the needle actuator assembly including a patient needle configured to pierce a patient's skin. A bottom surface of the housing defines a port interface configured to receive an implanted injection port.

Disclosed is a medical system for displaying and recording injection sites of patients. After patient identification based on the patient's vein patterns, the system can retrieve and display previous injection sites (e.g., for blood draw or injection) of the patient as overlaid at actual positions of the injection sites. The system can determine potential new injection sites based on the locations of the previous injection sites. The system can also ensure workflow compliance by displaying and tracking procedures performed by the healthcare professional.

Disclosed is a pen needle including: a needle; a needle hub which comprises a coupling structure, which can be screw-coupled to a body, holds the needle and has protrusions formed on a supporting surface; a spring which has one side supported on the supporting surface and provides resilience; a plunger which has a plurality of resilient blades, which can be folded or unfolded, and has a hollow through which the needle passes; a small cap which is supported on the other side of the spring and receives the plurality of blades such that the plurality of blades can be received therein or be dislodged; and a medium cap which is coupled to the small cap, accommodates the small cap such that the small cap can move, and has serrations corresponding to the protrusions.

A drug delivery device includes a blunt cannula and a reservoir. The blunt cannula has a cylindrical wall that defines an axial passage between a first end and a second end of the blunt cannula. The wall has at least a first tapered region at the first end to define an opening in fluid communication with the axial passage and adapted at the first end to resist interruption of fluid flow through the axial passage and out of the first end of the blunt cannula. The reservoir is connected to the second end of the blunt cannula.

A drug delivery device (100) for administering a low dose of a medicament includes a housing (111) and a drug reservoir (101) disposed in the housing (111). A needle (135) is connected to the drug reservoir (101). A pressure applying member (113) is movably connected to the housing (111) and is movable between first and second positions. The pressure applying member (113) does not apply pressure to the drug reservoir (101) in the first position and applies pressure to the drug reservoir (101) in the second position to dispense medicament stored in the drug reservoir (101). A method of administering a low dose of insulin to simulate a first-phase insulin response of a pancreas is also disclosed.

A system for confirmation of fluid delivery to a patient at the clinical point of use is provided. The system includes a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device has a housing; at least one imaging sensor associated with the housing; a data transmission interface; a data reporting accessory for providing data to the user; a microprocessor for managing the at least one imaging sensor, the data transmission interface, and the data reporting accessory; and a program for acquiring and processing images from the at least one imaging sensor. The system further includes a fluid delivery apparatus; and one or more identification tags attached to or integrally formed with the fluid delivery apparatus. The program processes an image captured by the at least one imaging sensor to identify the one or more identification tags and acquires fluid delivery apparatus information from the one or more identification tags.

The invention relates to a needle delivery device comprising a device body; one or more skin pinching members attached to the device body, the skin pinching members being moveable to pinch a longitudinal fold of skin of a patient. The device also comprises a drive mechanism configured to drive a needle out of the device body and along a needle path into the longitudinal fold of skin pinched between the pinching members, and subsequently withdraw the needle, the needle path extending substantially parallel to the surface of the patient.

A drug delivery device assembly includes an injector body with a proximal end, a distal end, an outer surface, and a knob projecting from the outer surface. A needle assembly is at least partially disposed within the injector body. The needle assembly includes a syringe barrel containing a medicament and a needle or a cannula. A drive assembly is at least partially disposed within the injector body and operably coupled to the needle assembly to urge the medicament through the needle or cannula. An accessory defines a shell and has a proximal end, a distal end, a first opening at the proximal end sized to receive at least a portion of the injector body, and second opening at the distal end. The accessory surrounds a portion of the injector body when the accessory is coupled with the injector body.

A time saving sit on cardio pulmonary resuscitation device and method wherein the said device for providing cpr is adopted with an arrangement to seat a person and enable the start of cpr within five minutes of a heart attack affecting a patient, comprising of a reciprocating resuscitation force applicator where a counter force to the reactive force arising on applying compression force for resuscitation, said counter force being provided by the weight of a person sitting on the seating means and a belt based drive conveyance means forming a loop from top of a enclosure box allowing cpr without latching. A very clearly understandable, unambiguous, two step method of sitting on the device placed around the patient body, no confusion, no decision steps, no mental thinking on what to do. The device takes care of most decisions automatically.
