A dosing device includes a rod element and a shell. The rod element has a stem with a longitudinal axis and a first thread arrangement. The shell has a second thread arrangement. The first thread arrangement of the rod element or the second thread arrangement of the shell includes a thread. The first thread arrangement of the rod element and the second thread arrangement of the shell engage. The rod element is movable along the longitudinal axis of its stem by rotating the shell and the rod element relative to each other causing the first thread arrangement of the rod element and the second thread arrangement of the shell to travel along each other. A dosage chamber is formed by moving the rod element along the longitudinal axis of its stem. The volume of the dosage chamber is varied by moving the rod element along the longitudinal axis of its stem. An inclination angle (α, β) of the thread varies along the thread. The dosing device according to the invention can allow for a precise and convenient dosing of a liquid out of a container. In particular, it can allow for efficiently dosing a comparably small volume out of a comparably large container.

This invention provides a prefilled selectively activatable body-worn infusion-pump assembly for rapid delivery of large volumes or highly viscous volume comprising a housing; a pre-filled aseptically-sealed flexible drug reservoir-containing assembly; a conjoined, coordinately controlled and perpendicularly arranged cannulated needle dispensing and needle insertion assembly operationally connected to and in fluid connection with the pre-filled aseptically-sealed drug reservoir-containing assembly, wherein the cannulated needle dispensing assembly projects generally perpendicularly to a generally planar surface of the housing, promotes insertion of the cannulated needle in skin of a subject and promotes retraction of the needle within the cannulated needle dispensing assembly thereafter, and wherein the needle insertion assembly projects generally in a parallel orientation to a generally planar surface of the housing, which projection initiates opening a fluid path with the pre-filled aseptically-sealed drug reservoir-containing assembly; an engine assembly contained in the housing operationally connected to the pre-filled aseptically-sealed flexible drug reservoir-containing assembly promoting release of a drug contained therein, wherein the engine assembly comprises: a motor; a worm gear, operationally connected to the motor; a lifting gear, operationally connected to the worm gear; a piston operationally connected to the lifting gear; and a chassis fitted with an attachment promoting a floating connection thereto with the worm gear; wherein the worm gear and motor are mounted radially with respect to the chassis; a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, which mechanically supports, electrically connects and controls the function of at least the engine assembly; and a single step activator that when engaged simultaneously promotes activation of the needle insertion assembly opening a fluid path with the pre-filled aseptically-sealed drug reservoir-containing assembly; activation of the engine assembly; and activation of the cannulated needle dispensing assembly inserting in a skin of a subject.

An injection device assembly including a housing, a syringe, a drive mechanism and one or more sensing systems are described. The drive mechanism advances the syringe from a storage position to an injection position, and a plunger advances the syringe piston from an initial position to a final position. The status sensing system may include one or more main PCB(s) disposed in an end portion of the injection device assembly's housing. The system may determine various parameters related to an operational status of the injection device, including the location of the devices components, an amount of medication remaining in the device, a temperature of the medication, and whether or not the device is properly contacting the users skin before injection. The system may communicate such determined parameters to an external device via a wireless communication link.

Disclosed are example embodiments of a dialysis machine having a frame, a cartridge cassette, one or more alignment-locking features, and an actuation mechanism. The frame is fixedly coupled to the dialysis machine, and the cassette is slidably coupled to the frame. The cassette can have one or more track structures, with each of the one or more track structures having a rotor and one or more rollers. The one or more alignment-locking features extend from the frame and are configured to be inserted into one or more alignment features of a disposable cartridge that functions to secure or release the disposable cartridge. The actuation mechanism is made to slide the cassette with respect to the one or more track structures.

The present invention relates to a shell assembly for a medicament delivery device, which shell assembly comprises at least one first shell section provided with an entry passage and designed such that at least a major part of a medicament delivery device entered through said entry passage is accommodated inside said at least one first shell section, a closure element operably arranged to said at least one first shell section for closing said entry passage, and fixation elements arranged for fixating said medicament delivery device in relation to said at least one first shell section and said closure element.

A drive mechanism having integrated status indication includes a drive housing, a status switch interconnect, a drive biasing member, a piston, and a drug container having a cap, a pierceable seal, a barrel, and a plunger seal, wherein the drive biasing member is configured to bear upon an interface surface of the piston. Drive mechanism may include an incremental status stem having a stem interconnect, wherein the stem resides within the drive housing and the piston, and wherein the stem has an interconnect which engages one or more contacts on the piston to provide incremental feedback. A drug delivery pump with integrated status indication includes a housing and an assembly platform, upon which an activation mechanism, an insertion mechanism, a fluid pathway connection, a power and control system, and the drive mechanism having a drug container may be mounted.

A medical delivery device is disclosed having a rod element with a stem and a first thread arrangement, a dial shell with a second thread arrangement, a delivery orifice, and a switching mechanism. In a dosing status, the rod element is movable relative to the delivery orifice by rotating the dial shell around the stem causing the first thread arrangement and the second thread arrangement to travel along each other, a dosage chamber is formed between the rod element and the delivery orifice when the rod element moves away from the delivery orifice, and the rod element is prevented from movement along a longitudinal axis when an axial force is applied. In a delivery status, the rod element is movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the delivery orifice when an axial force is applied and moving the rod element by rotating the dial shell around the stem is prevented.

A compliance monitoring module for a breath-actuated inhaler comprising: a miniature pressure sensor, a sensor port of said sensor being pneumatically coupled to a flow channel through which a user can inhale; a processor configured to: receive a signal originating from a dosing mechanism of the inhaler indicating that medication has been released; receive data from a sensing element of the sensor; and based on said signal from said dosing mechanism and said data from said sensing element, make a determination that inhalation of a breath containing medication through said flow channel complies with one or more predetermined requirements for successful dosing; and a transmitter configured to, responsive to said determination, issue a dosing report.

A medical delivery device is disclosed that includes a rod element, a dosage member and a lock mechanism. A stem of the rod element extends into an interior of a chamber body of the dosage member and a delivery orifice of the dosage member is arranged adjacent to a proximal end of the stem of the rod element. In a dosing status, the rod element is movable relative to the delivery orifice of the dosage member, such that a dosage chamber is formed within the chamber body between the stem of the rod element and the delivery orifice, wherein the dosage chamber increases when the rod element moves away from the delivery orifice. The lock mechanism changes the medical delivery device from a lock status to the dosing status, wherein in the lock status the rod element is prevented from moving relative to the dosage member delivery orifice.
