  • Patent number: 11464900
    Abstract: An insertion mechanism for a drug delivery device including a trocar, a housing, and a manifold in fluid communication with a fluid pathway connector and movable relative to the housing between a first manifold position adjacent to a proximal end of the housing and a second manifold position adjacent to a distal end of the housing. A hub carrying the trocar or hollow delivery needle is removably connected to the manifold, the hub being movable relative to the housing between a first hub position adjacent to the proximal end of the housing and a second hub position adjacent to the distal end of the housing. A power source is configured to generate rotational motion. A motion conversion mechanism operatively connects the power source and the hub, and is configured to convert the rotational motion into linear motion of the hub.

  • Patent number: 11464706
    Abstract: A drug delivery system includes a drug delivery device that delivers medicament to a user and a storage container having a container body that defines at least one storage compartment. The storage container includes a controller, at least one temperature sensor associated with the at least one storage compartment, at least one temperature control device associated with the at least one storage compartment, and at least one retention mechanism coupled to the storage container. In response to a user input, the controller is adapted to activate the at least one temperature control device to adjust the temperature in the at least one storage compartment to an administration temperature and transmit a signal to the at least one retention mechanism to release the drug delivery device from the at least one storage compartment after the temperature in the at least one storage compartment reaches the administration temperature.

  • Patent number: 11464903
    Abstract: Drug delivery devices and related methods of assembly are disclosed. The drug delivery device may include a main housing having an exterior surface releasably attachable to a patient, a container disposed in an enclosed space defined by an interior surface of the main housing, and a drive assembly. The container may include a reservoir containing a drug and a stopper. The drive assembly may include drive housing and a tether which slidably engages and is pulled taut against a guide surface of the drive housing. A first end of the tether may be wound around a capstan which is mounted rotatably relative to the drive housing. A second end of the tether may be operably connected to a stopper biasing member. The tether may initially retain the stopper biasing member in an energized state. When released, the stopper biasing member may expand to move the stopper through the reservoir.
