Abstract: An infusion set adapter connects to an infusion set for delivering a medicament to an injection site from a medicament source. The infusion set adapter can include a housing a controller, a power source, and at least one sensor configured to detect a characteristic of the infusion set adapter, infusion set, infusion site, and/or the medicament source. The controller can process information received from the one or more sensors and cause an action to occur in response to the received and processed information. The housing can include a retention member to connect the infusion set adapter to the infusion set. An infusion set include components of the infusion adapter above integrated therein. Methods of operating infusion sets and infusion set adapters are also disclosed.

Abstract: There are provided devices and methods for the selective opening and closing of a medicament container using a valve structure. The valve structure may include a seal which is rotatable to selectively align an opening with a fluid path in a valve structure. By rotating the seal, a user may open a medicament container at the point of use, thereby maintaining sterility of one or more components of a medicament delivery device.

Abstract: An injection system, including an injector having a dispensing mechanism configured to dispense a medicament, and a ready-to-use indicator. The ready-to-use indicator includes a controller configured to interact with the ready-to-use indicator and an audio and/or visual indicator, a temperature sensor, and a temperature analog having similar thermodynamic properties of the medicament. The temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the temperature analog which represents the dynamic temperature of medicament as the medicament is heated or cooled. The temperature sensor is configured to communicate the detected temperature to the controller and to alert the controller when a preset temperature is reached. The ready-to-use indicator is configured to alert a user when the preset temperature is reached, signifying the medicament is thermally ready to be delivered by the dispensing mechanism. The audio and/or visual indicator is configured to display indicate one or more notifications to the user.

Abstract: A primary container assembly includes a primary container defining a body having a proximal end defining an opening configured to receive a plunger, a distal end opposite the proximal end and defining an outlet, and a chamber extending from the proximal end to the distal end that is configured to receive a drug. The primary container assembly further comprises a tube extending from a first end that is integrally attached to the distal end of the primary container to a second end opposite the first end, where the tube defines a channel extending from the first end to the second end. The primary container assembly also includes a hollow needle configured to penetrate skin of a patient.

Abstract: An injection assembly includes a housing with a barrel positioned within the housing. The barrel includes an axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end thereof and a chamber for storing medicine. An elongate anti-rotation shaft is rotationally fixed to the housing and has a non-circular cross-section. The injection assembly includes an inner screw having an inner screw opening to complementarily receive the anti-rotation shaft to prevent rotation of the inner screw with respect to the anti-rotation shaft but allow respective linear translation along the axis. An outer screw is positioned within, and rotatable with respect to, the housing and has an outer screw opening to threadably receive the inner screw, wherein rotation of the outer screw translates the inner screw along the axis and along the anti-rotation shaft. A plunger is coupled to the distal end of the inner screw and is moveable with respect to the chamber to push the medicine out of the chamber when the outer screw is rotated.
