Patent number: 10589023Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained substance infusion device which can be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact surface. A push button activation assembly can then be used to remove an interlock, allowing a disk or Belleville spring assembly to apply an essentially even and constant pressure to the contents of a fluid reservoir assembly. This allows the release of one or more spring-loaded patient needles into the skin surface, and establishes a fluid communication path between the patient needles and the pressurized fluid reservoir contents thereby delivering an infusion into the skin. The push button activation assembly further allows the release of one or more improved safety mechanisms after use.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2017Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Chris Cindrich, Ralph Sonderegger, Glade Howell, Weston Harding, Alex Lastovich, Lionel Vedrine

Patent number: 9999724Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained substance infusion device (700) which can be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact surface. A push button (780) activation assembly can then be used to remove an interlock (730), allowing a disk or Belleville spring (735) assembly to apply an essentially even and constant pressure to the contents of a fluid reservoir assembly (710). This allows the release of one or more spring-loaded patient needles (760) into the skin surface, and establishes a fluid communication path between the patient needles (760) and the pressurized fluid reservoir contents thereby delivering an infusion into the skin. The push button (780) activation assembly further allows the release of one or more improved safety mechanisms (794) after use.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2016Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Chris Cindrich, Ralph Sonderegger, Glade Howell, Weston Harding, Alex Lastovich, Lionel Vedrine

Publication number: 20170248596Abstract: Methods for obtaining a tuberculosis assessment in a subject are provided. Aspects of the methods include identifying a subpopulation of a cellular sample of the subject having an expression level for a tuberculosis host biomarker below a threshold expression level to produce a biomarker signature; and obtaining a tuberculosis assessment for the subject from the biomarker signature. Aspects of the invention further include reagents, devices, systems, and kits thereof that find use in practicing the subject methods are provided. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of applications, including diagnosis and monitoring of TB.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2015Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventors: Farida BOUZAHZAH, Gerhard WALZL, Alex LASTOVICH

Publication number: 20080215015Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained substance infusion device (700) which provides one or more substantially hidden patient needles (760) which can be placed in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir assembly (710) that includes a rigid bladder portion (712) used in conjunction with a non-distensible bladder film (740), such as a metallized film. The device (700) can be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact surface and a push button (780) activation assembly can then be used to remove an interlock (730), allowing a disk, or Belleville spring (735) assembly to apply an essentially even and constant pressure to the contents of a fluid reservoir assembly (710).
