摘要:
Single use hydraulic drive devices and single use large volume injectors are described. A method for single use hydraulic drive including releasing a holding device to move a catalyst coated portion of a rod into a reagent filled chamber, generating pressure in the chamber due to at least one of gas creation and thermal expansion from a chemical reaction between the catalyst coated portion and the reagent, hydraulically displacing a moveable object in hydraulic communication with the chamber, and stopping further chemical reaction when the pressure exceeds a holding device force threshold to enable the holding device to re-hold a retracted catalyst coated portion of the rod outside of the chamber. The self-regulating pressure in the chamber enables a controlled rate of hydraulic displacement of the moveable object.

A kit is disclosed for accurately loading a small volume dose of a medication within a syringe and for delivering the small volume dose of the medication at a treatment site. The kit generally includes a loading and delivery system in accordance herewith, a syringe, and a medication. The loading and delivery system includes a syringe delivery ring and a syringe loading guide, which may be used for example, to administer a small volume dose of a medication at the end of an ocular surgery.

A fluid delivery device comprises a fluid reservoir for containing medicament. The fluid reservoir is sealed proximate one end with a sliding seal piston. A delivery path is configured to fluidly couple the fluid reservoir and a patient wearing the fluid delivery device. A basal engine mechanism is configured to directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir at a controlled basal rate. A bolus mechanism configured to move the basal engine relative to the fluid reservoir and directly or indirectly move the sliding seal piston in the fluid reservoir a discrete bolus amount at a time.

Mixing systems for producing a mixture to deliver to a treatment site. An illustrative system may comprise a needle hub and a multi-reservoir system. The multi-reservoir system may comprise a first plunger assembly, a second plunger assembly, and a barrel portion. The first plunger assembly, the second plunger assembly, and the barrel portion may be assembled in a telescoping arrangement. Advancing the first plunger assembly may cause a first constituent to be delivered from a first reservoir of the second plunger assembly into the third reservoir to mix with a third constituent to form a precursor and a second constituent to be delivered from a second reservoir of the second plunger assembly into the fourth reservoir and advancing the first and second plunger assembly collectively causes the precursor and the second constituent to be delivered into the needle hub.

摘要:
An auto-injector device including a syringe, a needle arranged in the vicinity of a first end of the syringe, and a plunger arranged within the syringe. A volume within the syringe between the plunger the needle accommodates medicine, such that movement of the plunger toward the needle dispenses medicine through the needle. A selection assembly configurable by a user to adjust an amount of medicine dispensed by the auto-injector device and depth to which the medicine is delivered. Also, a method for treating a skin lesion or skin disorder utilizing the auto-injector and a kit for patient administered treatment.

A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel having a tubular body that bounds a compartment extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end and a flange that radially outwardly projects from the proximal end of the body. A stopper is movably disposed with the compartment of the syringe barrel. A plunger rod includes a shaft having a proximal end and an opposing distal end and a plurality of teeth disposed on the shaft, the distal end of the shaft being secured to the stopper. A backstop engages the flange of the syringe barrel and at least a portion of the plurality of teeth of the plunger rod.
摘要:
The invention refers to a handheld injection device comprising a housing (10; 410) and a dose indicator (90; 480) positioned within and axially constrained to the housing (10; 410) and rotatable with respect to the housing (10; 410) during dose setting and during dose dispensing. The dose indicator (90; 480) may comprise a flexible clicker arm (95; 482) which, only during dispense, is displaced in a first radial direction and, when the device reaches its minimum dose (zero) position, in a second, opposite radial direction.
摘要:
An injection device includes a housing for receiving a syringe or cartridge for containing a medicament; a rotary driveshaft mounted for rotation relative to the housing; and an elongate coiled torsion spring having respective formations at opposite ends thereof, with a first formation being anchored in a seat on the rotary drive shaft and a second formation being anchored in a seat on a reaction component. In use relative rotation of the rotary driveshaft and the reaction component in one angular direction strains the torsion drive spring, and release of the strained torsion drive spring causes expression of medicament from the syringe or cartridge. The torsion spring is longitudinally resiliently compressible between its end formations whereby during assembly of the injection device, the torsion spring may be longitudinally compressed and then rotated, thereby urging the end formations of the torsion drive spring into engagement with the respective seats.
摘要:
Method for detecting an end-of-dose condition in a pressurized system, comprising the steps of (a) providing a system having a fluid-filled variable volume reservoir comprising an elastically deformable portion and an outlet, pressurizing means, and means for detecting a property of the elastically deformable portion which varies with the internal pressure in the reservoir, (b) pressurizing the reservoir to expel a desired amount of fluid by applying a force, thereby deforming the elastically deformable portion, (c) measuring, after the actuating step, a property related to the elastically deformable portion as it regains its initial configuration, (d) comparing a value for the measured property with one or more threshold values, and (e) providing a user with an indication when a given threshold value has been reached, and/or when a given threshold value has not been reached within a given period of time.
