20110201999 | NEEDLE MOUNTING FEATURE FOR ENSURING PROPER RECONSTITUTION SEQUENCE - A medical injector is provided herein having a body and a needle mounting surface movable relative to the body, the needle mounting surface having features for mounting a needle thereto. In an initial state, the needle mounting surface is disposed within the body with no needle mounted thereto. With relative movement between the body and the needle mounting surface, the needle mounting surface is urged out of the body. Advantageously, a medical injector is provided which ensures proper sequence in preparation of the device, particularly with respect to the step of allowing mounting of a medical needle to the device subsequent to preparation of the medicament to be administered. | 08-18-2011 |
20110213315 | MEDICAL INJECTOR WITH SLIDABLE SLEEVE ACTIVATION - In one aspect, a medical injector is provided herein which includes a body; a displaceable plunger disposed in the body; a spring disposed to advance the plunger; a releasable retainer for retaining the plunger in a first state against force of the spring; and, a sleeve disposed on the body, the sleeve being slidable relative to the body. Sliding movement of the sleeve over a predetermined extent relative to the body results in the releasable retainer releasing the plunger thereby allowing the spring to advance the plunger. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a medical injector having an automated plunger drive which is triggered upon sliding movement of the sleeve, thereby minimizing premature or failed activations. | 09-01-2011 |
20120041366 | MEDICAL INJECTOR WITH DOSE KNOB ACTIVATION FOR AUTOMATED RECONSTITUTION - A medical injector is provided herein having a body and a reservoir disposed in the body, the reservoir including at least first and second mixable components. At least one stopper is associated with the reservoir where distal advancement of the stopper over a predetermined distance causes mixing of the mixable components. A plunger is disposed in the body, along with a knob stem and a knob fixed to the knob stem so as to be rotatable therewith. A sleeve is telescopingly disposed over the knob stem, wherein the knob stem and the sleeve have cooperating elements formed thereon which selectively permit rotation of the knob stem to be transmitted to the sleeve so that the knob stem and the sleeve may rotate together. A spring is also provided for urging the sleeve distally. A releasable retainer releasably retains the sleeve against force of the spring. Rotation of the knob releases the sleeve and allows the spring to displace the sleeve distally. Distal movement of the sleeve causes distal movement of the plunger which causes distal movement of the stopper thus causing mixing of the mixable components. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a medical injector may be provided where autoreconstitution can be achieved by the turning of a knob. | 02-16-2012 |
20120041367 | MEDICAL INJECTOR WITH POST-AUTORECONSTITUTION DOSE SETTING AND AUTOPLUNGER DRIVE - A medical injector is provided herein having a body; a reservoir containing first and second mixable components, a stopper associated with the reservoir, a predetermined extent of advancement of the stopper causing mixing of the first and second mixable components; a displaceable plunger disposed in the body; a spring disposed to advance the plunger; a first releasable retainer for releasably retaining the plunger in a first state against force of the spring; a first trigger for causing the first releasable retainer to release the plunger; a second releasable retainer for releasably retaining the plunger in a second state against force of the spring; and, a second trigger for causing the second releasable retainer to release the plunger. The spring causes the plunger to advance from the first state to the second state. The plunger engages the stopper during the advancement from the first state to the second state so that the stopper traverses at least the predetermined extent of advancement thereby causing mixing of the first and second mixable components. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a medical injector is provided which allows for autoreconstitution with subsequent dose setting and autoplunger activation, the autoreconstitution and the autoplunger activations being activated by separate triggers. | 02-16-2012 |
20120172793 | FIXTURING MEMBER AND DEVICE FOR PERMITTING MIXING IN A PEN INJECTOR - In one aspect, a fixturing member for fixing a source of flowable material relative to a pen injector so as to permit introduction of the flowable material into the pen injector is provided herein. The fixturing member includes a body having a web with opposing proximal and distal faces. A distal wall extends distally from the distal face of the web, with the distal wall at least partially encompassing a distal chamber. Features are formed on the body for removable mounting onto a pen injector. Also, features are formed on the body for mounting onto a source of flowable material, A cannula extends through the web the cannula having proximal and distal ends with a lumen extending therebetween. The distal end of the cannula is located in the distal chamber and positioned such that, with the member being mounted to a pen injector, the distal end is located to be in the pen injector. The proximal end of the cannula is located proximally of the proximally face of the web such that, with the member being mounted to a source of flowable material, the proximal end of the cannula is located to be in communication with the flowable material. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a fixturing member is provided which facilitates mixing of substances in a pen injector in preparing a pen injector for injection. | 07-05-2012 |
20120184902 | CONTAINER FOR INJECTION DEVICE WITH INJECTION NEEDLE - With the subject invention, a container for an injection device with an injection needle is provided. The container includes a body having a compartment formed therein to accommodate the injection device in both a pre-use and a post-use condition. The body defines a first opening through which the injection device in its pre-use condition may be accessed, and the body defines a second opening into which the injection device may be directed in its post-use condition. A closure is provided for closing the first opening. The container also includes a retainer proximate the second opening for retaining the injection device in the container in its post-use condition preventing access to the injection needle after the injection device has been used to administer an injection. Advantageously, the container of the subject invention may accommodate an injection device both before and after use thereby providing not only a pre-use packaging for the injection device, but also a post-use sharps container for the injection device. | 07-19-2012 |
