An assembly () for a medication delivery device () has a body (), a dose setting part () configured to be operated by a user for selecting a size of a dose, a piston rod () configured to be moved axially without rotating for dispensing a medication, and a drive member () being directly coupled to the piston rod () for driving the piston rod () in a dose dispensing operation, wherein the drive member () moves in a proximal direction in a dose setting operation. The medication delivery device () into which the assembly is incorporated may be a single-shot, variable-dose injection device, e.g., a syringe.

Assembly for a medication delivery device and medication delivery device

A connector for rotatably coupling an enteral feeding solution supply tube to a circular port of a gastrostomy device wherein the connector comprises a fluid conduit having a first end configured for connection with an orifice defined in the circular port to supply the enteral feeding solution to the gastrostomy device, and a second end configured for connection to the enteral feeding solution supply tube, a pair of arms circumferentially arranged around an outer wall of the first end of the fluid conduit, each arm including a first free end and a second free end, wherein the second free end includes a catch configured to releasably engage with a circumferential rim on the circular port, and a flexible bridge connecting each arm to the first end of the fluid conduit and about which the first and second ends of each arm can be pivoted, wherein the connector is couplable to and decouplable from the circular port by pivoting the first and second ends of each arm at the flexible bridge such that the catch on the second free end of each arm is radially displaced into engagement or out of engagement with the rim.

Fixation device for a medical tube

An assembly for a medication delivery device having a body, a piston rod and a setting nut. The piston rod is rotatable relative to the body in a dose setting state and is axially movable in a distal direction with respect to the body in a dose delivering state. The setting nut is secured against rotational movement with respect to the body, but is axially movable relative to the body, being helically coupled with the piston rod to axially travel in the proximal direction for setting a dose of a medication due to a helical movement of the setting nut with respect to the piston rod when the piston rod is rotated in the dose setting state, and is able to axially travel in the distal direction for delivering the set dose of the medication when the piston rod is axially moved in the dose delivering state of the assembly.

Assembly for a medication delivery device and medication delivery device comprising such an assembly

An assembly for a medication delivery device includes a body, a piston rod, rotatable with respect to the body, for setting a dose of a medication, and axially movable in a distal direction for delivering the set dose, wherein, in cross-section, the piston rod includes a plurality of ratchet teeth to enable rotation of the piston rod during setting of a dose, and a stop member secured against axial and rotational movement, wherein the stop member mechanically cooperates with the piston rod, wherein, when setting the dose, the piston rod becomes aligned with the stop member, and wherein, when delivering the set dose, the piston rod is moved in the distal direction towards the stop member such that the piston rod and the stop member abut at the end of the dose delivery operation and further distal movement of the piston rod is prevented after dose delivery.

An assembly for a medication delivery device, wherein the assembly is configured to perform a dose setting operation, the assembly having a dose setting sleeve and a drive sleeve, wherein the dose setting sleeve has a first dosing track having a first length and defining a first size of a dose and a second dosing track having a second length and defining a second size of a dose, wherein the first length is different from the second length and the first size is different from the second size. The drive sleeve has an engagement feature configured to engage with one of the dosing tracks. The assembly is configured such the dose setting operation has a first step wherein the engagement feature is aligned with one of the dosing tracks and a second step wherein the engagement feature is moved along the dosing track.

An apparatus for use with a syringe to provide a safety syringe, the apparatus including: a sheath deployable for at least partially covering a needle of the syringe; a sheath actuator for deploying the sheath; and a ratioed mechanism linking the sheath and the sheath actuator and configured such that a magnitude of movement of the sheath is greater than a magnitude of movement of the sheath actuator during deployment of the sheath.

Safety syringe apparatus

An apparatus for eliciting a blood sample comprises a housing, an aperture in a wall of the housing, an aperture cover moveable between a first position in which the aperture is covered and a second position in which the aperture is uncovered, the aperture cover comprising a sealing member configured to seal the aperture on a first side of the wall when the aperture cover is in the first position and a user-contactable part extending from the sealing member through the aperture to the second side of the wall and configured to allow a user to move the aperture cover between the first and second positions.

Apparatus for eliciting a blood sample

An apparatus comprises a housing, a testing member rotatably mounted in the housing, a lancet protruding from an edge of the testing member and having a piercing end, and a cover configured to cover at least the piercing end of the lancet and to be displaced from the piercing end of the lancet during actuation of the testing member.

Apparatus comprising a lancet

A meter configured to perform a blood analysis is presented where the meter has a housing, the housing having an aperture configured to receive a body part of a user. The meter also having a plurality of light sources supported by the housing and a controller configured to control the plurality of light sources to indicate an operational status of the apparatus.

Blood analysis meter

A substance delivery device for delivering a substance from a container includes a body, and a plunger movable with respect to the body so as to expel at least a portion of a substance from the container, a trigger mechanism, a latch member latched in a stationary position at least along the longitudinal axis of the device before use, and a lockout shroud movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the latch mechanism. User manipulation of the trigger mechanism causes the latch mechanism to become unlatched and move along the longitudinal axis and to cause movement of a plunger relative to the body, and in a first position of the lockout shroud along the longitudinal axis relative to the latch member, the lockout shroud prevents the trigger mechanism from unlatching the latch member, whereas in a second position the lockout shroud allows the trigger mechanism to unlatch the latch member.

Selectable dose injection device

A testing member for eliciting blood samples is provided that can be rotatably mounted inside a cartridge and having a lancet for lancing a body part of a user. The lancet can protrude from an edge of the testing member. The testing member also can have a second blood collection part, and second contact pads, where the second contact pads being electrically connected to the second blood collection part, the second blood collection part and second contact pads together being configured to facilitate an analysis of the quantity of blood in a first blood sample in the second blood collection part. A blood analysis part and first contact pads can be included, where the first contact pads are electrically connected to the blood analysis part, the blood analysis part and first contact pads together being configured to facilitate an analysis of a second blood sample in the blood analysis part.

Testing member for eliciting a blood sample

The specification describes a cartridge for insertion into a meter, the interior of the meter comprising a boss having a main body and a protrusion extending from the main body.
