  • Publication number: 20240424270
    Abstract: A two-part bioactive agent delivery system, the system including a disposable part comprising an agent reservoir, a bolus chamber, the volume of the bolus chamber being less than the volume of the agent reservoir, an agent outlet, and a valve having a first position communicating the agent reservoir with the bolus chamber and a second position communicating the bolus chamber with the outlet; and a reusable part including a valve driver, a power source and control electronics, the control electronics being adapted to control the valve driver to actuate the valve to deliver bioactive agent from the agent reservoir to the agent outlet; the system further having a spring extending between the agent reservoir piston and a surface of the reusable part or of the disposable part to pressurize the agent reservoir when the spring is compressed and the agent reservoir contains a quantity of bioactive agent.

  • Patent number: 12161843
    Abstract: An automatic drug delivery device, for dispensing a fluid medicament, includes: a longitudinal housing; a removable cap; a syringe assembly having a hollow syringe body and an injection needle; and a drive mechanism. The loaded drive mechanism is operatively coupled with a safety shield movable within the longitudinal housing. The safety shield is biased into a proximal position in which it protrudes out of the proximal end of the longitudinal housing in order to cover a needle tip of the injection needle. The safety shield is movable into a distal position in which the injection needle is exposed for injection. The device includes a feedback mechanism providing a visual feedback to the user indicating an actual state of operation. The feedback mechanism includes a visual indicator which appears in a transparent window on the distal end of the housing.

  • Patent number: 12109395
    Abstract: The disclosure refers to a device, for example a cartridge, a syringe or an autoinjector, which reduces the possibility of user error and provides an easy and automatic operation during mixing and/or reconstitution. The device is adapted such that activation of the device causes movement one of a first piston and a second piston in second chamber in an axial direction of the device, thereby moving the other one of the first piston and the second piston into the same axial direction of the device, opening a fluid communication path between the second chamber and a first chamber of the device, and expelling a second material from the second chamber into the first chamber via the fluid communication path. The disclosure is further directed to a respective mixing and/or reconstitution method.

  • Patent number: 11752263
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mixing and/or reconstituting drugs are presented. A system may include an injection device, a vial, a needle, and a base station. The device has a chamber containing a first material. The vial has a chamber containing a second material. A drive unit of the base station moves the vial and/or the housing of the device relative to each other into an activated position. In the activated position, the needle is fluidly connected with the vial's chamber, and the drive unit is connected to a driver that moves the plunger in the axial direction of the device such that during fluid connection of the needle with the vial's chamber the first material is expelled from the device's chamber into the vial's chamber or the second material is expelled from the vial's chamber into the device's chamber.

  • Patent number: 11733821
    Abstract: A touch panel and a touch display are disclosed. The touch panel mainly comprises a light transmissive substrate and two sensing units. The two sensing units are disposed oppositely through the light transmissive substrate. A mesh width of a metal mesh in the two sensing units is large, which can increase a variation of capacitance value and improve the touch sensitivity. In addition, an angle between metal lines with sensing function is configured in a random manner under a certain condition to reduce an area of nodes, thus a rounding effect at the nodes can be effectively reduced or eliminated. The metal meshes of the two sensing units disposed oppositely are staggered with a non-conductive node-free pattern to form a staggered pattern with irregular polygons, so that no interference fringes would be generated when the touch panel is used together with display panels of various mainstream sizes.

  • Patent number: 11504473
    Abstract: A mixing and/or reconstitution system reduces the possibility of user error and provides a well mixed and/or reconstituted drug in a short time. The system comprises a device containing a first material within a first chamber, a housing, and a plunger, the plunger comprising a second chamber containing a second material, wherein one of the first and the second material is a fluid, and a movable element with an electric, magnetic, or paramagnetic characteristic, wherein the second chamber is initially closed; and a base unit comprising a recess for accommodation of the device, a control unit, and an electromagnetic unit which is adapted to produce an electromagnetic field penetrating the recess, wherein the control unit can electrically operate the electromagnetic unit such that the element contained in the second chamber moves in a direction of the device determined by the electromagnetic field and fluidly communicates the first and second chambers.
