A drug delivery device () for administering a low dose of a medicament includes a housing () and a drug reservoir () disposed in the housing (). A needle () is connected to the drug reservoir (). A pressure applying member () is movably connected to the housing () and is movable between first and second positions. The pressure applying member () does not apply pressure to the drug reservoir () in the first position and applies pressure to the drug reservoir () in the second position to dispense medicament stored in the drug reservoir (). A method of administering a low dose of insulin to simulate a first-phase insulin response of a pancreas is also disclosed.

Low dose prefilled drug delivery device and method

Improved systems and methods for medicine delivery, and in particular, improved insulin pen needles and related devices are provided. Smart injection devices record and transfer data including medicine level, delivered dose, dose confirmation, and dose time and date. Additional data captured may include glucose concentration, insulin level, carbohydrates ingested, stress level, exercise, blood pressure, and glucose high and low excursion events. Various means of data collection and analysis are provided and systems can identify and flag patients who require intervention. Smart sleeves and add sensing capability to standard insulin pens. Pen needles are provided with sensing capability to confirm and measure doses delivered by insulin pen. A two-part pen cap include a primary sleeve that connects to the insulin pen and an end cap that provides for capturing the time of dose delivery, and monitoring the hold time for a dose delivery after plunger movement.

Systems and methods for medicine delivery

A needle changing device for use on a medication delivery device includes an engagement element that is configured to engage the medication delivery device and pierce a septum of the medication delivery device, a needle holder connected to the engagement element, the needle holder having a needle changing septum having a reservoir, the reservoir being in continuous fluid communication with the engagement element, and a plurality of needles configured to pierce the needle changing septum, wherein when the needle holder is in a first position, the plurality of needles are disengaged from the reservoir of the needle changing septum, and when the needle holder is in a second position, one of the plurality of needles enters into fluid communication with the reservoir of the needle changing septum and is partially exposed outside the needle changing device for medicament delivery.

Needle changing apparatus

Smart sensors are employed to determine one or more of drug identification, dose, flow rate, concentration, agglomeration, and degradation and/or other characteristics of drug administration that can be detected via sensing technology. A smart sensor(s) can be coupled to or retrofitted onto injection pen injectors and/or drug delivery cartridges and/or infusion sets or cannulae, enabling infusion sets, pen injector systems or drug delivery cartridges to improve tracking of drug self-administration and stop medication errors that occur primarily through self or automated injection (e.g., due to incorrect or incomplete dosing, excessive dose or rate, incorrect drug, or drug degradation).

Smart adapter for infusion devices

An apparatus is disclosed for storing and changing needles for connection with a medicament delivery device, comprising an inner housing, a reservoir disposed within the inner housing, and a needle holder disposed within the inner housing, for fluidly connecting a medicament container of the medicament delivery device with the reservoir. The apparatus also includes a plurality of patient needles displaceably disposed on the needle holder, and an outer housing displaceably disposed about the inner housing and providing a user interface to individually select one of the plurality of patient needles, connect the selected needle with the reservoir, expose the selected needle outside of the apparatus for injection, and store the selected needle.

An apparatus is disclosed for storing and changing needles for a medicament delivery device having a medicament container, including a fixed mount for connecting the apparatus with the medicament delivery device, a needle holder displaceable along a circuitous path and connecting a plurality of needles displaceably disposed thereon, and a guide member for guiding displacement of the needle holder, the guide member being disposed about the fixed mount. The apparatus also includes a user interface rotatably disposed about the fixed mount and having at least one internal engaging structure for displacing the needle holder along the circuitous path.

Circuitous band needle changing apparatus

An attachable needle storage device is provided with a main body and a rotatable sleeve and a plurality of new needles stored within the sleeve, a leaf spring to direct each needle into a circumferential position of the pen body when rotated, and a ramp to move the needle into an axial position of the pen body when retracted or pulled rearward by the user. The attachable needle storage device is configured to attach to a pen device in a manner substantially the same as a conventional needle hub. In doing so, the rotation of the sleeve can be used to rotate a new needle onto a shuttle, and the retraction of the device can be used to cause a ramp to engage the needle and needle hub, moving the needle toward the axial position of the pen body and the septum. Once under the septum, the user continues pulling the device rearward, such that the needle is then moved rearward, pierces the septum of the medicament cartridge and exposes the distal end of the needle for injection. After use, a needle shield is used to unlock a compressed spring, which is configured to pull the needle from the septum, and return the device to the transport state, after which the previous steps can be repeated.
