  • Publication number: 20250108159
    Abstract: Kits for a drug delivery device or system include a housing having compartments, components to be secured within the compartments, and an instruction manual providing a series of steps. In some kits, a page of the instruction manual providing a step associated with a component does not overlay the compartment in which the associated component is to be secured, whereas all preceding pages do overlay the compartment, such that the step and the associated component are first displayed together. In some kits, a color is displayed with a compartment and with a step associated with the component to be secured in the compartment. In some kits, the housing includes two chambers, each chamber having the compartments in which components associated with a first subset of steps and a second subset of steps, respectively are secured.

  • Publication number: 20250108172
    Abstract: Drug delivery devices are described that provide hybrid forms with gripping and stability functionalities, such as a grip portion on a skin contact surface. In some versions, the drug delivery devices can include a cap having a release liner such that removal of the cap exposes the grip portion. In some versions, the drug delivery devices include a retractable needle guard having the grip portion extending therearound.

  • Publication number: 20250090852
    Abstract: This document describes an automated external defibrillator comprising a control configured to switch between a pediatric operating mode and an adult operating mode, wherein each operating mode comprises a mode-specific energy configuration and a mode-specific user configuration; an indicator configured to provide an indication of the operating mode in use during a resuscitation process; one or more processors configured to switch to the mode-specific energy configuration and the mode-specific user configuration upon a change of operating mode between the pediatric operating mode and the adult operating mode such that the automated external defibrillator delivers a defibrillating shock to a patient based on the mode-specific energy configuration; and an interface of the automated external defibrillator provides resuscitation instructions to a user based on the mode-specific user configuration.

  • Patent number: 11931550
    Abstract: A system and a method for filling an on-body injector includes a needle of the prefilled syringe being aligned with a fill port of the on-body injector. The needle may then be inserted into a guide of a needle cover attached to the on-body injector. An adapter attached to the syringe barrel may guide the needle into a center of the bore of the guide and into the fill port of the on-body injector. The needle may be inserted into the fill port and the adapter may be mechanically coupling to the guide. After the adapter is mechanically coupled to the guide, a volume of the drug of the prefilled syringe may be dispensed into a reservoir of the on-body injector. Once the reservoir is filled to a desired amount, the needle may be removed from the fill port by decoupling the adapter from the guide.

  • Publication number: 20230120569
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing, a reservoir, a cannula, one or more light sources, a label, and a controller. The reservoir is disposed within the housing. The cannula is connected to the reservoir for delivering a drug from the reservoir to the patient. The light sources are disposed adjacent the exterior surface of the housing, and each serves to indicate one of one or more operational conditions of the device. The label is fixed to the housing adjacent the light sources, and includes one or more informational messages. Each informational message is aligned with one of the light sources for conveniently conveying to a user an operational condition of the device as indicated by the corresponding light source. Finally, the controller is operably connected to the reservoir and the light sources. The controller is configured to actuate the reservoir to deliver the drug, and to selectively illuminate the one or more light sources based on the operational condition of the drug delivery device.

  • Patent number: 11590277
    Abstract: A wearable drug delivery device includes an injector having a housing, a reservoir, a needle or cannula, a drive mechanism for urging drug product out of the reservoir, through the needle or cannula, and to a patient, and an activator mechanism disposed on a surface of the housing for activating the drive mechanism. An activation prevention mechanism is coupled to the injector housing and/or activation prevention mechanism to prevent inadvertent actuation of the activator mechanism.
