A drug reservoir comprises of a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the housing is configured to hold a medicament; and a removable feature disposed on at least one of the proximal end and the distal end, wherein the removable feature covers at least in part one of the proximal end and the distal end.

A device for detecting moisture for an arrangement for monitoring an access to a patient for a system by which, via a flexible line, a liquid is fed to a patient and/or a liquid is fed out from the patient, and in particular for monitoring the vascular access in extra-corporeal blood treatment and particularly for monitoring a central venous catheter for acute dialysis includes at least a portion which can be deformed into a sleeve and placed around the circumference of the flexible line or of a connecting system. The portion in sleeve form has fastening means for fixing it in place in the position in which it surrounds the flexible line or the connecting system. The portion in sleeve form allows the device to be fastened quickly and securely to a flexible line or a connecting system.

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, device, and storage medium including one or more of the following: receiving location information and expiration information; determining a current location of the mobile device; determining that the medicament device is within a predetermined distance from the mobile device; determining that the medicament device is currently associated with an expiration event; outputting an expiration alarm indicating the expiration event in response to determining that the medicament device is within a predetermined distance from the mobile device and that the medicament device is currently associated with an expiration event; receiving, from the user, a request to display a map of a geographic area; displaying, by the mobile device and via a non-operating system application, the map of the geographic area; and displaying an alert icon on the map, wherein the location of the icon on the map is based on the received location information.

According to the invention, an auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M) comprises of a substantially cylindrical housing arranged to contain a pre-filled syringe filled with the medicament (M), a needle shroud slibably arranged with respect to the housing and adapted to rest on the skin of a patient receiving an injection, a releasable drive means arranged within the housing that is capable of, upon release, translating the needle shroud in a proximal direction (P) towards a safe position (PS) and a rotating collar rotatably arranged within the housing. The needle shroud in the safe position (PS) surrounds the injection needle after the injection has been carried out. The rotating collar engages the needle shroud in a manner that forces the rotating collar to rotate within the housing when the needle shroud is translated in the proximal direction (P).

A syringe assembly including a syringe barrel having a first end, a second end, and a sidewall extending therebetween defining a chamber is disclosed. The syringe assembly includes a stopper disposed within the chamber of the syringe barrel and a plunger rod having an inner member engaged with the stopper and an outer member adapted for telescopic movement with respect to the inner member. The plunger rod is transitionable from a collapsed position, in which a portion of the inner member is nested within the outer member, to an extended position, in which the same portion of the inner member extends outside the outer member. The syringe assembly also includes a stop member configured for cooperation with a portion of the syringe barrel, upon relative movement of the outer member with respect to the inner member, to limit the outward travel of the plunger rod from the syringe barrel.

The present disclosure relates to a medicament delivery device. The medicament delivery device comprises a housing, a needle, a medicament delivery mechanism and an actuator. The actuator is moveable relative to the housing from an initial position to an intermediate position such that the actuator exerts a force on the first locking member to urge the first locking member from a locked state to an unlocked state wherein the first biasing member moves the needle from a retracted position to an extended position. The actuator is moveable relative to the housing from the intermediate position to a second position such that the actuator exerts a force on the second locking member to urge the second locking member from a locked state to an unlocked state wherein the second biasing member moves the dispensing member within the housing to dispense medicament from the reservoir when the reservoir contains medicament.

A needle assembly includes a needle hole having an inside diameter that is greater than an outside diameter of a needle, and by a moving-side guide integrally provided to a needle tip cover being engaged with a fixed-side guide fixedly provided to the needle, a guide mechanism is provided to guide the needle tip cover from a proximal end side towards a distal end side of the needle while maintaining a state of noncontact with the needle, and to guide the needle tip cover to a position where the needle tip cover covers the needle tip while deviating the needle tip cover in a direction in which the needle hole goes away from a center axis of the needle at a position beyond the needle tip, and avoiding contact of the needle tip with the needle hole.

A single use medical device can include a single use medical device module configured for use in a medical procedure. The single use medical device can also include an electronic component having a one-time programmable (“OTP”) component that is configured to render the single use medical device module unusable after being used in the medical procedure in the subject. The single use medical device can also include a self-sacrificing module (SSM) that is configured to self-destruct and render the single use medical device unusable upon being cleaned or sterilized after being used in the medical procedure in the subject. The SSM can be operably coupled with a system controller module (SCM), which can read the state of the SSM and determine whether or not the medical device has undergone cleaning or sterilization.

An example medical device includes a body portion having a tubular inner wall defining an inner channel, and a tubular outer wall encircling the inner wall. The outer wall defines an outer channel between the outer wall and the inner wall. The body portion also includes an indicator substance disposed within the outer channel. The device also includes an indicator portion defining an indicator channel. The body portion is configured to insert at least in part into a patient, and the indicator portion is configured to remain at least in part along an exterior of the patient when the body portion is inserted into the patient. The device is also configured to transfer at least a portion of the indicator substance from the outer channel to the indicator channel when the body portion is bent.
