A medication delivery device is equipped with a sensing system to determine the amount of a dose set and/or delivered by operation of the device. Such amount is determined based on the sensing of relative rotational and/or axial movements during dose setting or delivery between members of the medication delivery device, where the sensed movements are correlated as applicable to the amount of the dose set. The device includes one or more wiper assemblies coupled to one or more rotatable device members. Sensing bands are coupled to another device member, and arranged in contacting relationship with wipers. During relative rotation and/or axial movement between the device members, each sensing band is operable to generate an output associated with the relative angular and/or linear position of the wiper along an operational angular length of the sensing bands indicative of relative rotational positions of the device members.

Medication delivery device with sensing system

A medication delivery device having a lock element. The device is connectable to an electrical plug of a conduit. The device includes an external housing with an opening that ports to a plug receiving hollow within an interior volume. An electrical circuit connected to at least one of a rechargeable battery and a memory controller includes a connection element within the plug receiving hollow. The lock element travels within the plug receiving hollow when a dose delivery assembly of the device operates for forcing medication from the device. The lock element is sized and positioned to have its travel halted by abutment with the plug, when the plug is within the plug receiving hollow and electrically interfacing with the connection element, to thereby halt the dose delivery assembly from further operating for forcing medication from the device.

Medication delivery device with mechanical locking system

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 a plurality of magnetic sensors, such as, for example, five or six sensors, operably coupled to the processor and configured to detect the positon of a rotating bipolar magnetic ring within the delivery device. Medication identification system may also be provided.

A prosthesis delivery device having a cannula with an expandable positioning device disposed at the proximal end thereof is disclosed. A prosthesis is retained on the cannula distal of the expandable device. Expansion of the expandable device retains and centers the delivery device and the prosthesis carried thereon in the vessel and allows repositioning of the prosthesis without contacting the proximal end of the prosthesis with the vessel walls prior to deployment.

An occlusion device for occluding a body vessel and methods of using the device are disclosed.

Occlusion device and methods of using the same

An endovascular prosthesis and method of constructing a prosthesis device for implantation into the lumen of a body vessel. The endovascular prosthesis includes a fenestration in the device surrounded by an inner edge, and the inner edge further surrounded by an outer edge of larger diameter. A shaped protrusion of semi-rigid graft material spans the distance between the inner edge and the outer edge connecting the two edges. The shape protrusion has a surface area larger than the plane of the tubular body between the edges and therefore will have excess material. This excess material allows the inner edge and the fenestration to move within the circumference of the outer edge. The shaped protrusion may also form a semi-rigid dome.
