Haptic Feedback of an Electronic Medical Device
Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a medical handheld device that includes an actuating feature configured to generate a trigger signal, a sensor configured to detect a functionality of the medical handheld device in response to the trigger signal, and a haptic source configured to generate a haptic signal including information associated with the functionality of the medical handheld device.
EMERGENCY AUTOMATIC INJECTION DEVICE
An automatic injection device for use with a syringe including at least one syringe piston and a needle coupled to a forward end thereof, comprising a housing element arranged along a longitudinal axis and having a forward end and a rearward end; at least one resilient element arranged to be located within the housing element; a needle shield selectably positionable with respect to the housing element; and a control unit adapted, when actuated, to be driven by the at least one resilient element for initially displacing the syringe relative to the housing element from a non-penetration position to a penetration position and thereafter displacing the at least one syringe piston in the syringe to effect drug delivery, and wherein the control unit is configured to be actuated upon axial rearward displacement of the needle shield with respect to the housing element.
Injection device
An autoinjector device is provided. The autoinjector device can include an activator unit including an activation housing, an activation guard, and an activation shell such that a portion of the activation guard extends beyond a proximal end of the activation shell. The autoinjector device can include camouflage on a proximal surface to obscure a device lock hole and reduce user confusion around needle orientation.
Systems and methods for delayed drug delivery
Systems and methods for delayed delivery of a drug are disclosed. A drug delivery system may include a delivery member for insertion into a patient and a reservoir configured to receive a volume of a drug. An energy source may be activatable by the patient to actuate the reservoir to deliver the drug to the patient as a single bolus. A lockout system may be configured to have a locked state, wherein the lockout system prevents movement of the delivery member and/or activation of the energy source, and an unlocked state, wherein the lockout system permits movement of the delivery member and/or activation of the energy source. The lockout system may be configured to automatically change from the locked state to the unlocked state after a preselected time period has elapsed. An output element may generate a detectable output after the preselected time period has elapsed for notifying the patient.
Assisted injection device for injecting a composition contained in a medical container with reduced efforts
The present disclosure relates to an assisted injection device for injecting a composition contained in a medical container. The injection device includes a body adapted to receive a medical container in a fixed position relative to the body. The injection device includes a spring-loaded piston rod translationally movable inside the body between a proximal rest position allowing inserting of the medical container in the body and a distal operative position wherein the piston rod engages a stopper of the medical container and pushes the stopper in the medical container. The injection device includes a blocking system comprising a locking member mounted on the body and configured to engage the piston rod. The piston rod includes a proximal end extending out of the body and configured to be pushed by the user in a distal direction to accelerate the movement of the piston rod to the distal operative position.
Palm Activated Drug Delivery Device
A device configured to administer a medication can comprise a lower housing that includes a housing latch. The device can further comprise a needle guard that is movable relative to the lower housing along a first direction from a first position to a second position so as to expose a needle, and an upper housing supported relative to the lower housing. The upper housing can be configured to move with respect to the lower housing along a second direction from a pre-use position to a dispensed position. The housing latch can releasably interfere with the upper housing when the upper housing is in the pre-use position so as to prevent the upper housing from moving toward the dispensed position, and the movement of the needle guard toward the second position, causes the interference to be removed, thereby allowing the upper housing to move toward the second position.
AUTOINJECTOR
An autoinjector includes a housing and a drive chassis arranged linearly moveable within the housing. The drive chassis includes a dispensing limb and a trigger limb. The trigger limb and the dispensing limb are arranged in parallel to one another and are connected to one another at a respective distal end of the dispensing limb and the trigger limb.
Needle-free injector
A needle-free injection device including an outer housing and an inner housing configured to receive a needle-free syringe in one end. The inner housing of the device is moveable within the outer housing between a syringe loading position and a firing position. The device also includes an activation button and a housing lock engaged by the activation button to prohibit movement of the inner housing from the syringe loading position to the firing position if the activation button is activated in the syringe loading position.
Palm activated drug delivery device
Disclosed is a device for the parenteral delivery of a medication, such as a drug. The device includes upper and lower housings in which the upper housing is configured to move relative to the lower housing as a result of application of an external force to permit the user of the device to control the rate at which the drug is administered.
INJECTION DEVICES WITH AUTOMATIC PRIMING
An injection device comprises a needle holder that supports a needle, and a vial holder that supports a vial. A spring urges the needle holder to move towards the vial holder but that movement is restrained by a latch until the time of use. Releasing the latch primes the device by allowing the needle holder to move, whereby a proximal end of the needle pierces a septum of the vial. The latch is preferably released by rotating an actuator. The same rotation preferably frees the needle holder and vial to be advanced axially relative to the actuator, whereby a distal end of the needle can be introduced into the skin of a subject. Compressed air from a tank may be used to drive the discharge of the vial. The air tank preferably surrounds the vial and provides a broad proximal surface, against which manual pressure can be applied to the device.
