An apparatus for delivering therapeutic agent to an eye comprises a body, a cannula, a hollow needle, and an actuation assembly. The cannula extends distally from the body and is sized and configured to be insertable between a choroid and a sclera of a patient's eye. The actuation assembly is operable to actuate the needle relative to the cannula to thereby drive a distal portion of the needle along an exit axis that is obliquely oriented relative to the longitudinal axis of the cannula. The cannula may be inserted through a sclerotomy incision to position a distal end of the cannula at a posterior region of the eye, between the choroid and sclera. The needle may be advanced through the choroid to deliver the therapeutic agent adjacent to the potential space between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium layer, adjacent to the area of geographic atrophy.

Method and apparatus for suprachoroidal administration of therapeutic agent

A portable dual chamber auto-injector configured to store a dry opioid antagonist medicament separately from a liquid component, wherein a user actuated mixing system comprising a movable component to create a fluidic pathway between the first and second chambers and release a portion of energy from a pre-stored energy to drive a displacement mechanism into the first chamber and displace the liquid component into the second chamber and solubilize the opioid antagonist. A needle assembly in fluid communication with the second chamber can be used to transfer the solubilized opioid antagonist.

Portable drug mixing and delivery device and associated methods

A method of operating an end effector, the end effector including opposing first and second jaws, a distal clevis defining an inner pulley and having a first axle that rotatably mounts the first and second jaws to the distal clevis, a proximal clevis having a second axle that rotatably mounts the distal clevis to the proximal clevis, a plurality of drive cables extending to the end effector, and a power axle cable mounted to the distal clevis at the inner pulley. The method further includes moving one or more of the plurality of drive cables and thereby causing the end effector to articulate about a first pivot axis extending through the first axle, and moving the power axle cable and thereby pivoting the end effector about a second pivot axis extending through the second axle and perpendicular to the first pivot axis.

A device for obtaining a biological sample, such as a capillary blood collection device, that has the ability to lance and squeeze the finger, collect the sample, stabilize the sample, and subsequently dispense the sample in a controlled manner is disclosed. The device also simplifies and streamlines the capillary blood collection by eliminating workflow variabilities which are typically associated with low sample quality including hemolysis and micro-clots.

A medication delivery device (MDD) (e.g., injection pen, wearable pump) is paired with an external device (e.g., smart phone, iPad, computer) via wireless link or wireline connection. The MDD provides to the external device captured data from the flow sensor relating to medicine delivery to a patient to ensure complete delivery and minimize MDD misuse or malfunction or inaccuracies in dosing. The MDD can have Bluetooth&#x2122; and/or near field communication (NFC) communication circuits for proximity-based pairing and connectivity with the external device for real-time or deferred transfer of captured data to the external device, depending on memory and power availability at the MDD. The MDD or external device can use captured data and corresponding time stamps to determine flow infomatics such as flow rate, total dose delivered, and dose completion status. An LED on the MDD indicates states such as powered on, paired, delivery in progress and delivery completion.

Systems and methods to test robotic end effectors may comprise a testing rig having variable mass properties. The testing rig may include a variable weight assembly and a movement assembly that can adjust a position or orientation of the variable weight assembly. In this manner, the testing rig can be modified to simulate or replicate mass properties of a plurality of items, and grasp performance of a robotic end effector may be measured using the testing rig. Further, simulation models of end effectors and items may be validated based on actual grasp performance of a robotic end effector and the testing rig having variable mass properties.
