A mixing and/or reconstitution system reduces the possibility of user error and provides a well mixed and/or reconstituted drug in a short time. The system comprises a device containing a first material within a first chamber, a housing, and a plunger, the plunger comprising a second chamber containing a second material, wherein one of the first and the second material is a fluid, and a movable element with an electric, magnetic, or paramagnetic characteristic, wherein the second chamber is initially closed; and a base unit comprising a recess for accommodation of the device, a control unit, and an electromagnetic unit which is adapted to produce an electromagnetic field penetrating the recess, wherein the control unit can electrically operate the electromagnetic unit such that the element contained in the second chamber moves in a direction of the device determined by the electromagnetic field and fluidly communicates the first and second chambers.

A system having a monitoring device and a medicament delivery device is presented wherein the monitoring device is configured to be releasably attached to the medicament delivery device and to monitor an operation of the medicament delivery device. The monitoring device has a body defining a cavity for receiving the medicament delivery device; a biased holding unit arranged in the body and configured to retain the medicament delivery device to the body in a secure state; wherein the biased b holding unit is movable within the body between a first position in which the medicament delivery device is in an unsecure state and a second position in which the medicament delivery device is in the secure state. The biased holding unit can have an enclosing member having a engagement structure; and in that the biased holding unit there can be a locking element fixed to or integral with the enclosing member, wherein the engagement structure is configured to interact with an engaging member on the medicament delivery device and the locking element is configured to interact with a counter locking element arranged to the body when the biased holding unit is in the second position.

A system for aligning a patient interface for use in delivering a flow of a breathing gas to the airway of a patient with an adhesive arrangement that is structured to secure the patient interface to the patient. The system includes a base that is structured to be disposed on a surface, the base having a central member protruding upward from the base to a contoured surface. The central member includes a pair of protruding alignment elements that extend further upward from the contoured surface and which are sized and structured to engage apertures in both of the adhesive arrangement and the patient interface in a manner which aligns such components with each other.

The present invention provides a connector for push-connecting a cartridge containing vaporizable material, such as a 510-cartridge, to a power-supplying device. The connector includes a housing containing electrical contacts, a cartridge-receiving end for receiving a conductive end of the cartridge, and a flexible, preferably silicone, ring connected to the cartridge receiving end of the housing for retaining the conductive end of the cartridge inserted therethrough against the electrical contacts. The ring is preferably part of a silicon boot that houses the housing.

Respiratory equipment packaging and insert for a respiratory interface assembly having a respiratory interface and headgear. The packaging includes a first pocket having a first opening, and being configured to enclose and sealing retain at least the respiratory interface and the headgear of the respiratory assembly, and a second pocket, adjacent the first pocket and having a second opening. The second pocket is configured to receive an auxiliary device intended for use with, or comprising part of, the respiratory interface assembly, such as a mask size measuring device. The insert is configured to support the respiratory interface in an upright orientation and includes at least one slot configured to receive a strap of the headgear of the respiratory interface assembly.

A charging adapter assembly for charging a vaporizer device is described herein. In some embodiments, the charging adapter may include a housing including a coupling end configured to couple to the vaporizer device. The coupling end of the housing may include a chamber having a base and at least one chamber wall defining a perimeter of the chamber. The base may include at least one charging contact. The charging adapter may include a power adapter extending from the housing. The power adapter may be configured to provide an electrical pathway between a power source and the at least one charging contact. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

The present invention relates to a system consisting of one or more instruments, which provides a simple method for detaching a connector cap from the connector as this is the juncture utilized to administer fluids into the body via an IV peripherally inserted central catheter, commonly know as a PICC or PIC line. This device enables one to avoid potential breakage of the PICC line connector cap, which can occur utilizing current procedures. The system is put into place whereby the portion of the instrument associated with the fixed end of the PICC line (that which is implanted in the patient) is slid over the PICC line connector and held stationary, while the portion of the accompanying instrument associated with the free end of the PICC line is secured around the connector cap and rotated counterclockwise until the connector cap assembly is loose enough to be separated without further aid.

Clamping forceps device includes two clamps in pivotal connection to one another and each having an operator end for being operated by a health care provider. The device also includes an extension extending aft of the operator end of each clamp, the extension forming a space therebetween sized to form a disconnecting wedge mechanism for separating a tube from a patient tube connector. Each extension defines a ramped surface increasing in thickness moving from an extension tip towards the operator end.

Disclosed herein are structures for ensuring that the reservoir of drug delivery device is free from any residual air before the device is filled with a liquid drug and put into use. The structures described herein are designed to prevent air from entering the reservoir during the pendency of a shelf life of the drug delivery device and/or to remove any residual air that has entered the reservoir of the drug delivery device prior to it being filled with the liquid drug.
