An infusion set is disclosed that includes an inserter including an inserter housing having at least one flexible arm for holding an infusion set in a single axial position prior to insertion of at least a portion of a cannula of the infusion set, the inserter housing having a surface for contacting the patient's skin. The inserter also includes a movable plunger disposed within the inserter housing for releasing the infusion set from the inserter housing, impacting the infusion set, and imparting momentum to the infusion set to insert the cannula into the patient's skin. The inserter additionally includes a biasing element biasing the plunger toward the activated position.

A dual-chambered drug delivery device, comprising a cartridge having a first chamber for storing a medicament, a second chamber in fluid communication with said first chamber, a dose setting member for setting a medicament dose to be injected at an injection site, a piston disposed in said second chamber, an upward stroke of said piston drawing a portion of the medicament dose into said second chamber and a downward stroke of said piston expelling the portion of the medicament dose, a needle communicating with said second chamber for sequentially injecting portions of the medicament dose into the injection site, a drive screw movably connected to said dose setting member such that rotation of said dose setting member moves said drive screw upwardly, and a rack movably connected to said drive screw such that downward movement of said drive screw during the medicament dose injection rotates said rack.

Multi-stroke delivery pumping mechanism for a drug delivery device for high pressure injections

A method of delivering high pressure medication injections, the method comprising storing a medicament in a cartridge, engaging a lever gear in a lever assembly to a rack, rotating a lever arm in said lever assembly that is connected to said lever gear, moving said rack to move a stopper through said cartridge upon rotation of said lever arm, expelling a medicament dose from said cartridge via movement of said stopper, and injecting said medicament dose through a needle that communicates with said cartridge.

An active agent or drug injecting device () includes a main housing () containing a trigger mechanism () which can be manually activated via release bar () or remotely triggered via wireless receiver () activating motor (), and a second housing () containing an injection- and needle-assembly (). The needle () encloses a dry carrier () having an active agent () disposed thereon. The trigger mechanism triggers the injection assembly to propel the needle into the skin (via spring ()), to inject the active agent into a living organism (either by letting the active agent diffuse out of the needle or by actively flushing it out), and to subsequently retract the needle back into the housing () (via spring ()).

An infusion set adapted to be secured to a skin surface includes a fixed base member connectable to the skin surface and a movable member. A needle or cannula is connected to the movable member and movable relative to the fixed base member. The movable member is movable from a first position in which the needle or cannula is not exposed externally of the fixed base member to a second position in which the needle or cannula is exposed externally of the fixed base member. A release member retains the movable member in the first position. Removal of the release member allows movement of the movable slide member to the second position.

Automatic angled infusion set assembly

A fluid dispensing device is provided for dispensing a measured amount of fluid into a living organism. The device has a needle having a first end and a second end. The needle is adapted for interfacing, on the first end, with a septum of a flexible hollow membrane, and at a second end thereof, for subcutaneously inserting into a living organism. The needle is guided by a guide to permit an injection into the living organism at a substantially non-orthogonal angle with respect to a surface of the living organism. The first and second ends of the needle pierce their respective piercing surface while translating together in a common direction. In other embodiments, the dispensing device includes a main housing, a flexible fluid reservoir, an injection assembly and a trigger mechanism. The main housing houses the operative components of the device.

A robotic end effector for collecting frozen aliquots from an array of frozen samples in a plurality of containers has a coring bit for taking frozen sample cores from the frozen samples and a frozen sample core extraction system adapted to extract frozen sample cores from the frozen samples. A fill level detection system is adapted to detect the positions of the surfaces of the frozen samples. A processor is adapted to receive signals from the fill level detection system and use the signals and information concerning operation of the frozen sample core extraction system to determine at least one of the following: (a) the amount of material contained in a frozen sample core obtained by the coring bit; and (b) the number of frozen sample cores needed from a particular frozen sample to obtain a predetermined amount of material from that frozen sample.

A drug delivery device includes a cartridge () for storing a medicament and a needle () communicating with the cartridge () for injecting a medicament dose. A rack () is movably disposed in the cartridge () and is engageable with a stopper () for expelling the medicament dose from the cartridge (). A lever assembly () has a lever arm () connected to a lever gear (). The lever gear () is engaged with the rack () such that rotation of the lever arm () rotates the lever gear () during injection of the medicament dose, thereby moving the rack () and stopper () through the cartridge () to deliver the medicament dose.

A dual-chambered drug delivery device () includes a first chamber () in which a medicament is stored. A dose setting member () is rotated to set a medicament dose. The dose setting member () being rotatable to set the medicament dose. The dose setting member () is not axially moveable. A second chamber () is in fluid communication with the first chamber (). The medicament dose is transferred to the second chamber () from the first chamber () prior to injecting the medicament dose. A needle () communicates with the second chamber () to inject the medicament dose into an injection site.

A dose setting member () is used to set a medicament dose to be injected at an injection site. A piston () is disposed in the second chamber (). An upward stroke of the piston () draw a portion of the medicament dose into the second chamber () and a downward stroke of the piston () expels the portion of the medicament dose. A needle () communicates with the second chamber () for sequentially injecting the portions of the medicament dose into the injection site.
