An apparatus and method for improving medication dosing is provided. The apparatus preferably includes a template configured to fit over a barrel of a syringe, the template having a substantially opaque exterior and at least one substantially transparent section in the substantially opaque exterior permitting a view of the syringe barrel and a distal end of a plunger within the barrel of the syringe. A method includes the steps of positioning a dosing template on a syringe, operating a plunger within the syringe, and drawing a predetermined dose of medication into the syringe.

A multifunctional glucose monitoring system and method of measuring glucose level, determining insulin dosage, and indicating insulin dosage on a syringe is disclosed. The multifunctional glucose monitoring system includes standard functionality with respect to acquiring a blood glucose reading. However, in addition, the multifunctional glucose monitoring system includes a dosage algorithm for calculating an insulin dosage based on the blood glucose reading and any other useful parameters, and includes a built-in marking device for marking the calculated dosage level on the barrel of an insulin syringe that is installed in the body of the multifunctional glucose monitoring system. A method includes the steps of measuring the glucose level, determining an insulin dosage, and indicating the insulin dosage on a syringe.

Vial assembly

A self-injection device () for delivering a medicament includes a housing (), and a needle () connected to the housing (). A compressible reservoir () is connected to the housing () and is in fluid communication with a needle () such that compressing the reservoir () delivers medicament from the reservoir () to the needle () and moves the needle () from the first position to the second position. A platform () is disposed within the housing () about which the housing () is rotatable between a plurality of positions. Each of the positions corresponds to a different distance the needle () is moved to the second position during an injection to provide a variable injection depth. The needle () is withdrawn into the housing () after an injection without requiring manual manipulation by the user, thereby preventing needle sticks and other accidents.

A medicament respiratory delivery device including a housing formed of opposed thermoformed polymeric sheets bonded together having formed therebetween a chamber having a medicament cartridge encapsulated between the sheets, an inlet aligned with a passage through the cartridge having a pierceable closure and an outlet aligned with the passage outlet having a burstable membrane. The device includes a pressure actuator formed as a blister between the sheets and a piercing element having a bow-shaped actuator portion and a shaft which pierces the pierceable closure upon actuation of the pressure actuator, delivering fluid under pressure to the cartridge passage, rupturing the membrane and expressing the medicament.
