Abstract: A syringe includes a body for receiving a medicament and a plunger movably connected to the syringe body. The plunger is moved with respect to the syringe body to draw in and dispense the medicament. A plurality of dose setting indicators are disposed on the plunger. The plunger is rotated outwardly from the syringe body to draw medicament into the syringe body. The plunger can be pushed or rotated into the syringe body to dispense the medicament.

Abstract: A medication delivery pen is provided having a reusable pen body assembly and a disposable cartridge assembly that are threadedly engageable with one another. The disposable cartridge assembly includes a plunger and can releasably receive a needle cannula assembly. A portion of the pen body assembly projects into the cartridge holder assembly for driving the cartridge plunger distances that are selected in accordance with a desired dose of medication to be delivered. The cartridge holder assembly can be disassembled from the pen body assembly after the medication therein has been exhausted, and the used cartridge holder assembly may be discarded and replaced.

Abstract: A medication delivery pen is provided having a medication cartridge holder assembly, a pen body assembly and a cap. The reusable pen body assembly includes an improved loading and priming mechanism that allows the user to easily load a new cartridge and prime the pen without having to manually manipulate the pen's lead screw and related driving components.

Abstract: A medication delivery pen is provided having a medication cartridge assembly, a pen body assembly and a cap. The pen body assembly includes a dose setting mechanism and a dose delivery mechanism that are selectively disconnected and connected by attaching and removing, respectively, the cap of the medication delivery pen. When the cap is attached to the medication delivery pen the user can easily dial in and correct the dialed in dosage and when the cap is removed the medication delivery pen is ready to dispense the dialed in dosage.

Abstract: A medication delivery pen is provided with an indicator that displays the time of last injection through interaction between a cap and pen body assembly. When a user requires an injection the cap is removed from the pen and a dose is set by turning a dose setting knob to the desired dose as displayed in a window in the pen. After the desired dose is set using the dose setting knob, injection is achieved by pushing an actuator button. After injection the user replaces the cap on the pen such that indicia on the cap align with indicia on the body of the pen to display the day and time of day of the last injection, thereby providing the user with means for remembering when the last injection was administered by aligning indicia on the cap with indicia on the pen body assembly, without having to otherwise write or record the day and time of the last injection.

Abstract: A medication delivery pen is provided having a pen body assembly and a cartridge assembly that are threadedly engageable with one another. The pen body assembly includes a rotatable driver for driving a cartridge plunger preselected distances that are in accordance with a desired dose of medication to be delivered. The driver providing different preset rates of injection.

Abstract: A dose setting knob adapter for use on a medication delivery pen to convert the small, discrete dose setting control knob into an enlarged T-shaped handle that is easily rotated during dosage setting by a patient with reduced physical skills. The dose setting knob adapter attaches to the clip of the medication delivery pen for storage and mounts with the cap onto the dose setting knob over the proximal end of the medication delivery pen to permit a user to easily manipulate the dose setting knob during dosage setting. The enlarged handle is useful during drug injection since it provides a larger surface for the user to hold during injection. In addition, since the adapter mounts on the clip of the pen's cap during storage, the portable and discrete usage design approach is not compromised.

Abstract: A device and method for filling a conventional disposable plastic syringe with a mixture of insulins. The mixing device includes a pair of disposable cartridge assemblies each containing a different type of medication to be mixed in the syringe and a pair of medication dispensing mechanisms for dispensing the medication out of a respective cartridge. Each dispensing mechanism permits one to specify the dose of medication to be dispensed and drives a plunger into its respective cartridge a specific distance based on the specified dose. The mixing device also includes a syringe holder assembly that holds a syringe until a mixed dose of medication must be dispensed and provides proper alignment of the cannula of the syringe with each cartridge assembly during mixing.

Abstract: A method for testing the accuracy of a medication delivery device, such as a medication delivery pen, includes the steps of:a) providing a syringe assembly having a hollow barrel with volume measuring indicia on the barrel, a slidable stopper in the barrel and a needle cannula at the distal end of the barrel;b) providing a medication delivery pen having a pierceable septum at its distal end, a reservoir for containing liquid adjacent to the septum, a movable plunger for dispensing liquid from the reservoir projecting from the proximal end of the pen and dose setting apparatus for manually selecting the volume of liquid to be delivered by action of the plunger;c) manually activating the dose setting apparatus to select the volume of liquid to be delivered from the pen;d) piercing the septum of the pen with the needle cannula of the syringe;e) activating the plunger to dispense the selected volume of liquid from the reservoir through the needle into the syringe barrel chamber so that as liquid enters the chambe
