A syringe nest is provided that includes a planar base and a plurality of nesting units extending from and interconnected by the base. Each nesting unit includes a hollow hexagonal body having a first open end and an opposing second open end.

Syringe nest

Various systems for the containment or delivery of a product are provided. The systems allow for the storage of products at low temperatures and include a container closure inserted into a container (). The container closure may have an elastomeric body () and include a material () having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion. In other systems, the material having a negative coefficient of thermal expansion may be inserted between the elastomeric container closure and a seal. Other systems may include an insert at least partially embedded within the elastomeric body of a container closure, an actuator having a distal end movably attached to the insert, and a resilient element between the distal end of the actuator and the insert, wherein the resilient material expands radially upon displacing the distal end of the actuator toward the insert.

Containment and delivery systems for cryogenic storage

A syringe nest assembly includes a base having a first surface and an opposing second surface and a first plate movably coupled to the base. The base includes a plurality of nesting units extending upwardly away from the first surface of the base. Each nesting unit includes a hollow body having a first open end distal from the first surface of the base and an opposing second open end. The first plate has a first surface and an opposing second surface. The first plate includes a plurality of apertures extending from the first surface to the second surface of the first plate. Each aperture of the first plate is generally aligned with a respective nesting unit of the base.

A needle safety device has an outer tube within which a syringe barrel from which a cannula extends is slideably receivable. A collar in the outer tube is moveable relative thereto and rotatably attachable to the distal end of the barrel. A force member biases the outer tube in a distal direction. A cannula shield able to receive the cannula therein is in the outer tube. The cannula shield is fixedly attached to a cap removably attached to the outer tube. A track is formed in the inner surface of the outer tube. A pin extending radially outwardly from the collar slidingly engages the track. In a pre-injection position, the cannula is entirely within the outer tube. In a full-insertion position, the cannula extends beyond the outer tube. In a locked position, the cannula is irreversibly retained entirely within the outer tube.

Low radial profile needle safety device

An apparatus for presenting an application status of a medical device that has a unused state and a used state. The apparatus includes a label having an electrochromic element. The label is at least partially disposed on an exterior surface of the medical device and is configured to display a predetermined feature in response to an electric current. A power source is disposed in or on the medical device for providing the electric current. A switch is configured to selectively connect or disconnect the label and the power source to one another for controlling the application of the electric current to the electrochromic element in response to actuation of the medical device from the unused state to the used state. The label may be scanned by a scan device that may connect to a medical organization for communicating information between the scan device and the medical organization.

Syringe adapter

A method of detecting and/or tracking use of a drug delivery device is disclosed. The drug delivery device includes a machine readable code and a visual indicator, and has pre-use and used states, such that use of the drug delivery device triggers a transition from the pre-use to the used state. The visual indicator has a first state when the drug delivery device is in the pre-use state and a different second state when the drug delivery device is in the used state. The method includes enabling a user device having an image sensor to capture an image of the drug delivery device, determining, by the user device processor from the captured image, whether the visual indicator of the drug delivery device is in the second state, and obtaining, by the processor, information from the machine readable code when the visual indicator is determined to be in the second state.

Drug delivery device state recognition

A needle safety device has an outer tube within which a syringe barrel is slideably receivable. A collar in the outer tube is moveable relative thereto and rotatably attachable to the distal end of the barrel. A force member biases the outer tube in a distal direction. A track is formed in the inner surface of the outer tube. A pin extending radially outwardly from the collar slidingly engages the track. In a staging position, the barrel is inspectable. In a pre-injection position, the cannula extends a first length beyond the outer tube. In a full-insertion position, the cannula extends a second length greater than the first length beyond the outer tube. In a locked position, the cannula is entirely within the outer tube.

An adapter for a syringe has a base portion having an insertion hole configured to surround and engage at least a portion of a barrel of the syringe. The base portion includes a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. At least one projection extends upwardly from the top surface of the base portion. At least one ramp portion is located proximate the at least one projection. A flange portion extends laterally outwardly from the base portion. The flange portion includes a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The top surface of the base portion extends generally parallel to and is spaced between the top and bottom surfaces of the flange portion.

Medical container nest

A recoil reducing needle shield for covering a drug container with a needle includes an outer shell, including an upper portion, a lower portion, and at least one flexible interface positioned therebetween, defining a fulcrum. Radially inward flexing of the upper portion causes radially outward flexing of the lower portion about the flexible interface. An inner cover includes an open proximal end, a closed distal end, and a needle cavity defined therein for receiving a portion of the drug container including the needle. At least a portion of the inner cover is disposed within the outer shell. The open proximal end of the inner cover is coupled to the lower portion of the outer shell, such that radially outward flexing of the lower portion stretches the open proximal end of the inner cover, thereby reducing an initial pull-off force required to remove the needle shield from the drug container.
