An insulin storage and dispensing system for housing a standard insulin bottle and securely keeping the bottle in place when using a syringe to access the port on the top of the bottle to fill the syringe while providing accessibility in the form of a convenient mounting assembly for mounting on a refrigerator, an interior cabinet door or wall.

The present disclosure is generally directed to a drug delivery device for selecting and dispensing a number of user variable doses of a medicament and to an insert for such a device. The insert comprises a cup-shaped body with a distal end and a proximal end. The body has a sidewall and a tube which extends centrally through the cup-shaped body in a longitudinal direction, thereby defining an annular space between the sidewall and the tube. The annular space is open in the proximal direction for receiving a compression spring. The tube comprises a thread provided at an inner surface of the tube. Further, the tube, the sidewall and/or a second part comprise a clutch feature for rotationally constraining a component part to the insert.

An electrically operated breast pump for pumping human breast milk comprises an electrical pump unit (15) and an electronic control unit (14) for controlling the pump unit (15). The pump unit (15) can be activated by the control unit (14) in a time-delayed manner. The breast pump according to the invention allows a stress-free start of the process of pumping breast milk in a simple manner.

An inhaler includes a mouth-piece cover, a pressure sensor, a first indicator and a second indicator. The first indicator may be configured to indicate based on a state of the cover, and the second indicator may be configured to indicate based on an output of the pressure sensor. For example, when the mouthpiece cover opens, the first indicator may illuminate and a dose of medication may be transferred from a reservoir to a dosing cup. The second indicator may illuminate if an amount of inhaled medication reaches a predetermined threshold for successful inhalation.

A sheet-type aerosol generating article includes at least two aerosol generating sheets each having aerosol generating material and an inductively heatable susceptor The inductively heatable susceptor is positioned between the aerosol generating sheets and each of the aerosol generating sheets has an exposed surface. Methods for manufacturing sheet-type aerosol generating articles are also disclosed.

There is provided an applicator head (10) for administration of a topical formulation, comprising a dosing aid for application of a predefined dose of the topical formulation. The applicator head (10) comprises an applicator surface (20) adapted to apply the topical formulation to a user's skin. The applicator surface (20) comprises an outlet opening (40). The dosing aid comprises a dose marking, or dose markings (60, 60′, 60″, 62′, 62″) on the applicator surface (20), and wherein the dose marking (60, 60′, 60″, 62′, 62″) circumscribes an inner dosing compartment (64) that serves to measure the predefined dose of the topical formulation, and wherein the outlet opening (40) is disposed inside the inner dosing compartment.

A medical system includes an input assembly for receiving one or more user inputs. The input assembly includes at least one slider assembly for providing an input signal. Processing logic receives the input signal from the input assembly and provides a first output signal and a second output signal. A display assembly is configured to receive, at least in part, the first output signal from the processing logic and render information viewable by the user. The second output signal is provided to one or more medical system components. The information rendered on the display assembly may be manipulatable by the user and at least a portion of the information rendered may be magnified.

A drive mechanism includes a housing, a piston adapted to impart movement to a plunger seal within a drug container, a plurality of biasing members disposed in parallel, and a retainer. The biasing members are disposed to release energy to cause movement of the piston from a retracted first position to the extended second position, the piston bearing against the plunger seal to dispense medicine. The retainer is disposed to maintain the biasing members in the energized position and to release the biasing members to permit the piston to dispense the medicine. The drive mechanism may also include an end-of-dose indicator to identify at least one of when the sleeve assembly is disposed subjacent a window in the housing, the relative motion of the sleeve assembly with reference to the window or another reference component, the stoppage of such motion, and the rated or change of rate of motion.

A device configured to deliver a medicament to a user by injection, comprising an injection feedback apparatus configured to apply temperature-based feedback to the user regarding the delivery of the medicament.

Wearable auto-injector devices, systems and methods prevent medication administration in a device-worn state using a mechanism that prevents administration medication or by making it impossible or operationally impractical to physical orient or align the device to achieve injection. The device includes a housing, an attachment component enabling the housing to be worn by a user, and a medication delivery system including a needle and a medication reservoir. An advancement system advances the needle into a user's skin and causes the medication to flow through the needle. Various advancement systems, error-reduction mechanisms, attachment alternatives, and optional monitoring and communications capabilities are disclosed.
