A system for the hypothermic transport of biological samples, such as tissues, organs, or body fluids. The system includes a self-purging preservation apparatus to suspend a sample in preservation fluid and perfuse a tissue with preservation fluid. The self-purging preservation apparatus is placed in an insulated transport container having a cooling medium. When assembled, the system allows for transport of biological samples for extended periods of time at a stable temperature.

System for hypothermic transport of samples

A system for the hypothermic transport of biological samples, such as tissues, organs, or body fluids. The system includes an antimicrobial treatment mechanism to inactivate microbes flushed from the biological sample by preservation fluid flowed therethrough. The self-purging preservation apparatus is placed in an insulated transport container having a cooling medium. When assembled, the system allows for transport of biological samples for extended periods of time at a stable temperature while simultaneously treating microbial infections to prevent transmission between a donor and a recipient.

Organ transport container with antiviral therapy

A drug delivery device may include a cassette with a needle assembly and a cartridge. The cassette is configured to couple and decouple from a reusable module. The device may also comprise an orientation mechanism to orient the cassette in relation to another device, such as a reusable housing. The device may comprise an extendable and retractable needle assembly. The cassette configuration is adapted to have a stopper with a short travel (no more than 14 mm) to deliver 1 mL of medication. The cassette may have a ratio of height to diameter from 2:1 to 1:1. The cassette may include a pair of drivable interfaces for being driven to actuate the stopper to expel medication and to drive the needle assembly between a retracted and extended configuration for controlled fluid communication between the needle and reservoir.

Drug delivery device cassette

Dose detection systems for medication delivery devices are described. One is a module for removable attachment to a dose button of a medication delivery device. A device with a dose detection system is also disclosed. The module includes a processor and at least one measurement sensor operably coupled to the processor and configured to detect the positon of a sensed component within the delivery device. Medication identification system may also be provided with an identification sensor and a light guide member.

Dose detection system module for a medication delivery device

A medical delivery device for advancing a piston in a medicament container to expel a medicament. A support structure supports the container and a drive assembly that advances the piston. The drive assembly includes a drive ribbon that can be retracted and extended. The retracted ribbon defines a spiral and the extended ribbon defines a helix. The drive ribbon is incrementally moveable between the retracted spiral configuration and extended helical configuration. A mechanical drive rotates the drive ribbon to selectively extend and retract the ribbon. A thrust member having a helical ramp engages a proximal edge of the drive ribbon where it transitions between a spiral and helix. A bearing member at the distal end of the drive ribbon exerts an axial force on the piston when the ribbon is extended.

Drive ribbon for moving piston within container

A medication delivery device is disclosed including a rack-and-pinion plunger drive system. The drive system includes an output drive having a pawled end movably coupled with the ratchet teeth of the plunger, and a pinion drive coupled between the housing, the output drive and an actuator. Actuator is longitudinally movable between dose set and delivery positions. Movement of the actuator causes rotation of the pinion drive along the rack to translate the output drive member with the pawled end that is engaged with the plunger ratchet teeth to distally advance the plunger. The device may include one or more of an end of dose mechanism to limit travel of the actuator, a load brake system to stop travel of the plunger under high input forces, a dose detection system, and a dose selector to vary the amount of dose set.

Medication delivery device with gear set dosage system

A medication delivery device usable with a medication container wherein advancement of a piston within the container expels medication. The device includes a housing and a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive ribbon having distal and proximal edge sections. The drive ribbon has a retracted configuration defining a spiral and an extended configuration defining a helix. The drive ribbon is movable from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration with the movement defining a drive axis and advancing the piston. In some embodiments, the drive ribbon may not rotate as the drive ribbon is advanced while in other embodiments, the ribbon does rotate. Disclosed drive assemblies include manually driven assemblies, spring driven assemblies and motor driven assemblies. The container may be replaceable to allow for reuse of the device. In some embodiments, replaceable cartridges which include both the medication container and the drive ribbon are employed.

Medical delivery device with axially expandable drive ribbon

An injection device is disclosed including a housing assembly defining a pair of ramps and adapted to hold a medicament cartridge. A driver is adapted to advance the piston within the cartridge. A plunger having a pair of arms is moveable between a retracted position and an advanced position. Each of the arms are engageable with a respective one of the ramps as the plunger is advanced. A braking mechanism may include braking members on the arms and braking tracks proximate the ramps. Excessive force exerted on the plunger may flex the arms and engage the braking members with the braking tracks. The plunger arms may be connected together by a material bridge that biases the plunger arms apart from each other. The arms may include detents that engage to prevent the arms from moving due to the biasing force of the material bridge when the arms are in the fully retracted position.
