Publication number: 20130226080Abstract: A method and system for dispensing a non-user settable dose of one medicament and a user-settable dose of a primary medicament. The system may include a medicated module attachable to a drug delivery device, the drug delivery device having a drug reservoir holding a first medicament. The medicated module includes a first needle, a second needle, a collapsible feature holding a second medicament, a biasing feature operably connected to the collapsible feature, and a valve system having a closed position and an open position. During dispense, the valve system transitions from the closed position to the open position, and the biasing feature compresses the collapsible feature to force the second medicament to flow from the collapsible feature to the second needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2011Publication date: August 29, 2013Applicant: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbHInventors: James Alexander Davies, Steven Wimpenny, Daniel Thomas De Sausmarez Lintell

Publication number: 20130226089Abstract: A method and system for sequentially dispensing a non-user settable dose of one medicament followed by a user-settable dose of a primary medicament. The system may include a dual cross-section, floating piston arranged to facilitate first delivering all or substantially all of a given medicament (e.g., a secondary medicament) through an output needle and then thereafter delivering yet another medicament (e.g., a primary medicament) through the same output needle in a single injection step. The dual cross-section, floating piston of the system also reduces or limits ullage left in the medicated module relative to the amount of the secondary medicament dispensed from the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2011Publication date: August 29, 2013Applicant: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbHInventors: James Alexander Davies, Steven Wimpenny

Publication number: 20130041321Abstract: A medicated module for an injection system to co-deliver at least two medicaments is disclosed where a primary delivery device containing a primary medicament accepts a medicated module containing a single dose of a secondary medicament and where both medicaments are delivered through a hollow needle. The medicated module is user selectable so that it will deliver a priming dose of a primary medicament or both the primary and secondary medicaments. The module also contains a needle guard that locks after dose delivery. The needle guard prevents accidental needle sticks before and after an injection. A locking collar rotates during use as an inner protrusion follows three paths of a track located on the outer surface of a body housing. When the inner facing protrusion is in the third path, it encounters a hard stop and a rotational bias that locks the guard from further refraction and thus covers the sharp distal end of the needle.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2011Publication date: February 14, 2013Applicant: SANOFI-AVENTIS DEUTSCHLAND GMBHInventors: John David Cross, Malcolm Stanley Boyd, Alasdair George Young, Naceur Rekaya, James Alexander Davies, Steven Wimpenny, Daniel Thomas De Sausmarez Lintell, Simon Lewis Bilton
