Publication number: 20180339115Abstract: A pen needle assembly (10) includes a pen needle (12) with a hub body (16) having a needle shield (28) that covers a needle (26) and can be retracted to expose the needle during injection and return to the extended position after use and locked in the extended position. A spring (56) is provided to rotate the needle shield after use to a locked position. A locking member (84) can be provided on the needle shield that cooperates with the hub body (16) to prevent rotation after use. An attachment mechanism (38) for the pen needle provides a sensory indication when a needle-bearing hub body (16) is seated on a pen and limits further rotation of the pen needle relative to the delivery device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2018Publication date: November 29, 2018Inventors: Amit LIMAYE, Sudarsan SRINIVASAN, David SCHIFF, Todd SACK, Breanna STACHOWSKI

Publication number: 20180219913Abstract: According to an implementation of the disclosure, a computing device may record substantially all the network traffic being transported over a first node of a network over a period of time. The computing device may receive an authenticated request from a forensics system that includes access criteria. The first computing device may determine a relevant encrypted and unencrypted portion of the network traffic based on the access criteria. Based on unencrypted portion, the computing device may recalculate an encryption key applicable to the encrypted portion. The computing device may then replicate the relevant portion and the encryption key to the forensics system for forensic analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2017Publication date: August 2, 2018Inventors: Mark Manasse, Amit Limaye

Publication number: 20180177956Abstract: A syringe with adjustable penetration depth, comprising a tubular syringe barrel, a plunger positioned within the syringe barrel, a hub bearing a needle and attached to the syringe barrel, a movable collar having an open proximal end received over the hub, a distal end wall having an opening through which the needle protrudes, and a sidewall extending proximally from the distal end wall, the sidewall having an interior surface engaging the hub or syringe barrel, and a retaining feature on the collar engaging the hub or barrel and retaining the collar at a plurality of axial positions. The collar travels with respect to the hub along a path defined by the retaining feature on the interior surface of the sidewall engaging the hub or barrel, exposing a greater length of the needle as the collar travels toward the plunger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2018Publication date: June 28, 2018Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit Limaye, Sudarsan Srinivasan, Todd Andreoni, Edward J. Rosen, Howard Gold

Publication number: 20180103870Abstract: Sensors are disclosed that detect whether a cannula is properly inserted to its full depth in a subject's skin. The sensors may be used with a blood glucose monitor, or with a continuous insulin infusion pump, infusion set, or other system involving intermittent or continuous testing and/or drug delivery.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2017Publication date: April 19, 2018Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit LIMAYE, Keith KNAPP, Elizabeth NELSON, Patrick ALLEN, Amanda MASOTTA

Patent number: 9937299Abstract: A syringe is provided with an assembly received on the distal end for adjusting the penetration depth. In embodiments, the assembly includes a collar attached to the syringe hub which moves with respect to the needle between axial positions depending on the desired needle penetration depth. The adjustable penetration depth syringe is useful in the context of self-administered drugs such as insulin, where a longer length needle is needed to fill a syringe from a vial, but a shorter penetration depth is preferred for administering a subcutaneous injection.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit Limaye, Sudarsan Srinivasan, Todd Andreoni, Edward J.

Publication number: 20170151129Abstract: A syringe includes a syringe body having a syringe barrel for receiving and administering a medicament, a hollow needle fluidly communicating with the syringe barrel, and a needle adapter disposed on the syringe body. An outer diameter of the needle adapter is wider than an outer diameter of the syringe barrel, and a distal surface of the needle adapter is substantially flat. The needle adapter facilitates a flush alignment of the distal surface of the needle adapter with at least one of a vial stopper and a vial stopper holder of a medicament vial to ensure that a tip of the needle is properly inserted into the vial to aspirate the medicament within the vial.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2016Publication date: June 1, 2017Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Amit Limaye, Kevin O'Hara, David Schiff, Jesse Gala

Patent number: 9649452Abstract: The subject invention provides a safety pen needle assembly which includes: a hub; a needle carrier; a needle fixed to the needle carrier; a shield; and, a first engageable locking arrangement for fixing the shield to the needle carrier. Upon a predetermined extent of distal movement of the shield relative to the hub, the first locking arrangement is engaged such that the shield becomes fixed to the needle carrier. Upon further distal movement of the shield relative to the hub beyond the predetermined extent of distal movement, the shield and the needle carrier move in concert together relative to the hub causing a proximal end of the needle to move distally relative to the hub to a retracted state. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a reliable, low-cost safety pen needle assembly which does not require a spring or other biasing element.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Sudarsan Srinivasan, Amit Limaye, Michael DiBiasi, Sean Sullivan, David Schiff, Todd Sack

Publication number: 20170028141Abstract: Systems and methods encourage users to rotate injection sites and avoid lipodystrophy. Sleeves and/or lost-tooth gear dials and/or microswitches in or on injection pens or their caps, on vials, and on other portable devices manually adjust an indicator before or after an injection to show a current or next injection site in accordance with a site rotation plan. Injected medicine packaging and related printed indicia encourage site rotation. Optical devices employing optical mouse or projection technology help locate and/or distribute injection sites within a body area. A mobile phone app tracks injections and locations to select next injection site, and can use imaging to locate a target injection site and optionally diagnose lipodystrophic conditions and record them. Tactile and print media educational tools are presented to help users palpate and identify lipos in body areas having injection sites.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2014Publication date: February 2, 2017Inventors: Alan W.
