A fluid dispenser device including a body (10) and at least one cover element (11, 12) that is mounted to pivot on said body (10) between a closed position and an open position, said device including at least one individual reservoir containing a single dose of fluid, such as powder, opening means (80) being provided for opening an individual reservoir each time the device is actuated, said device including movable support means (50) that are adapted to move an individual reservoir against said opening means (80) on each actuation, said movable support means (50) being displaceable between a non-dispensing position and a dispensing position, said movable support means (50) being urged towards their dispensing position by resilient means (70), such as a spring or a spring blade, and being held in their non-dispensing position by blocking means that are released by the user inhaling, said device including a cocking member (800) that co-operates with said resilient means (70) and with a cam surface (51) that is formed on said movable support means (50), said cocking member (800) and said resilient means (70) being assembled in a housing provided in a housing piece (700) connected to a cover element (12).

The present invention is directed to a housing for a drug delivery device. The housing comprises an outer shell with an aperture, an insert received within the aperture and a clamp attached to the outer shell. The insert has at least one recess which is engaged by a lug of the clamp to retain the insert within the aperture of the outer shell. The invention is further directed to a pen-type injector having such a housing.

Disclosed herein is a valve assembly comprising a male luer end portion and a female luer end portion and a passage for the transfer of fluids extending between the male and female luer end portions, valve means movable between a first position, in which the passage is closed, and a second position, in which the passage is open, biasing means for biasing the valve means toward the first position, and actuating means extending into the male luer end portion and coupled to the valve means to actuate the valve means when a female luer end portion of a medical accessory is engaged with the male luer end portion.

An injection device suitable for use with infants is disclosed. The injection device is formed from a body shield member and a cylindrical handle. The body shield member includes a concave flange at the base, which is pressed against the patient's limb and reduces local compression at the needle insertion site. The injection device also has a softer form and operates through a pressing motion. A catch member is located in the cylindrical handle, and is deployed upon fully depressing the handle. Once the handle returns to its starting position, the catch member prevents the handle from being depressed a second time and permitting the used needle to be exposed.

An insulin delivery system and method for dispensing a measured, user selected, amount of insulin, a derivate thereof, or another substance into an animal via a dosing module and a delivery module. The system includes a reusable dosing module. The reusable dosing module is adapted to extract a set volume of the insulin, a derivate thereof, or another substance and a set volume of the diluent from reservoir(s). The reservoir(s) optionally includes a vial, and transfers the set volume(s) to a single use, manually activated injector reservoir. The reusable injector carrier module is configured to house the single use manually activated injector reservoir and configured to provide a surface to stroke or calm the animal prior to injection.

An injector device for the percutaneous injection of fluids, such as medications, is disclosed. The device can have a mobile phone case. The mobile phone case can hold an auto-injector cartridge having a trigger, spring-loaded needle and reservoir holding a medication such as epinephrine or insulin. The device mobile phone case can communicate injection data to the phone. The phone can communicate the injection data to an emergency service provider.

Disclosed herein is a valve assembly comprising a male luer end portion and a female luer end portion and a passage for the transfer of fluids extending between the male and female luer end portions, valve means movable between a first position, in which the passage is closed, and a second position, in which the passage is open, biasing means for biasing the valve means toward the first position, and actuating means extending into the male luer end portion and coupled to the valve means to actuate the valve means when a female luer end portion of a medical accessory is engaged with the male luer end portion.

A trigger assembly for an automatic injection device which by its operation releases a biased element of the device for movement. The trigger assembly includes a button pressable by a user, and a lock member. Prior to the button being plunged, a blocking element on the button is abutted by a button-engaging surface of the lock member to prevent lock member rotation, thereby allowing an engagement surface on the lock member to remain in engagement with an engagement surface of the biased element so as to restrain motion of the biased element. When the button is plunged, the blocking surface moves clear of the button-engaging surface to allow the lock member to rotate, during which rotation the engagement surfaces disengage to release the biased element for movement.

An injection device for injecting a solid dose formulation into a human or animal body, the injection device comprising an actuator (10) having a cassette mounting portion (14); a cassette holder (20) having a cassette storage portion; and a cassette selectively movable between the cassette storage portion and the cassette mounting portion, wherein, the cassette (34) comprises a solid dose formulation and the actuator is receivable in the cassette holder to selectively move the cassette between the cassette storage portion and the cassette mounting portion.

A syringe assembly includes a barrel including a barrel body portion, a cylindrical barrel end portion disposed at a distal end of the barrel body portion, the cylindrical barrel end portion including an annular head portion and an annular recessed portion, and a puncture needle having a puncture needle tip and having a proximal end fixedly inserted into the barrel end portion; and a seal cap mounted to the barrel, the seal cap including a closed distal end portion, an open proximal end portion, a hollow portion including (i) a barrel end storage portion, the barrel end storage portion being configured to store the barrel end portion, and (ii) a puncture needle storage portion extending from a distal end of the barrel end storage portion, an insertion portion configured to receive the puncture needle tip, and a projection portion formed on an inner surface of the barrel end storage portion.
