Patent number: 11633537Abstract: A drug delivery assembly includes a main body and a cartridge. The body includes a housing, an adhesive pad, and a body interface that detachably associates with a cartridge interface of the cartridge. A fluid flow path extends through the body housing, between a first end configured to open a seal of the cartridge and a second end configured to enter a human body. The cartridge contains a drug reservoir having an outlet and holding a medicament. The seal prevents the medicament from exiting the reservoir and maintains pressure within the reservoir until the seal is opened by the first end of the fluid flow path when the cartridge is coupled to the main body, placing the reservoir into fluid communication with the flow path. A controller actuates a valve within the body to selectively allow and prevent flow through the flow path during an automated drug delivery routine.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbHInventors: David R Schiff, Jason Zerweck

Publication number: 20220355026Abstract: A drug delivery device has a housing including upper and lower surfaces, with an adhesive pad associated with the lower surface of the housing and configured to removably attach to a human body surface. A drug reservoir is positioned within the housing, with a needle fluidically connected to the drug reservoir and configured to define at least a portion of a fluid flow path between the drug reservoir and said human body surface. A controller is configured to control the components of the drug delivery device to execute a drug delivery routine, with a display coupled to the controller and configured to receive signals from the controller so as to provide an indicium visible through the upper surface of the housing. The display may be electrical or mechanical in nature.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Inventors: Sharon D. West, Jason Zerweck

Patent number: 11484646Abstract: An on-body injector includes a drug reservoir having an outlet. First and second pistons may be positioned within the reservoir, with the second piston first being moved to open the outlet, followed by the first piston being moved to convey a drug from the reservoir via the outlet. The reservoir may instead include a cover, with a valve positioned between the outlet and the cover. The valve is rotated to place a channel of the valve in fluid communication with a through-hole of the cover, allowing flow from the reservoir via the outlet. The reservoir may instead include a valve movable from a condition in which it deforms the outlet, preventing flow through the outlet, to a condition allowing flow. The reservoir may instead include a seal that is deformed by an increase in pressure within the reservoir, with the deformed seal being open to allow flow through the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbHInventors: David R.

Patent number: 11406755Abstract: An on-body injector includes a drug reservoir with an associated temperature sensor. A piston having an associated force sensor is driven to convey a drug out of the drug reservoir during a drug delivery routine. The temperature and force sensors are electrically coupled to a controller that controls the components of the on-body injector to execute a drug delivery routine. The controller receives signals from the temperature sensor indicative of a temperature of the drug within the reservoir and from the force sensor indicative of a force experienced by the piston during the drug delivery routine. The controller analyzes the signals to determine whether the measured force is different from an expected force at the measured temperature. The controller generates an error signal when the measured force is different from the expected force at the measured temperature.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbHInventors: David R.

Patent number: 11363918Abstract: A dispenser for sheet products includes a housing having a space inside for accommodating a stack of sheet products, wherein the housing includes a dispensing opening for dispensing a sheet product from the front of the stack, and an electronic controller configured to receive a pull-out signal indicating the removal of a product from the front of the stack through the dispensing opening and, upon receiving said pull-out signal, to send out a drive signal to transfer a number of sheet products from the front of the stack into a presentation position. The controller is further configured to receive a low-level signal indicating that the amount of sheet products left within the housing has been reduced to below a predetermined level and, upon receiving said low-level signal, to enter into a low-level mode in which the sending of the drive signal in response to the pull-out signal is disabled.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2017Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: ESSITY HYGIENE AND HEALTH AKTIEBOLAGInventors: Boris Allan Elfstrom, Jason Zerweck, Kevin Murphy
