Abstract: A semi-automated veterinary medicine delivery device may sense whether and how much air may have been incorporated into a dose delivered to an animal. The device may also sense an incomplete injection in some cases and may cause a second dose to be administered to make up for the incomplete dose. The device may compare a position sensor on a syringe in combination with a current sensor on a motor attached to the syringe to detect any abnormalities. In the case of an improper dose, the device may alert the user and administer a second dose.

Abstract: A hand held device that injects animals with medicine and other substances contains a removable adapter. The removable adapter has mechanical connections to a frame. The frame has a mechanism for moving or advancing a syringe, which is part of the removable adapter. The removable adapter has an electronic device that begins in an non-configured state, but as specific medicines or substances are used with the removable adapter, the electronic device is put into a configured state. When the removable adapter is attempted to be used with other substances which are not compatible with the original substance, the electronic device prevents use of the device.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and methods are disclosed in relation to the configuration and compatibility of a removable delivery section of the apparatus, and delivering a substance via the apparatus to an animal. In an aspect, a hand held apparatus for delivering a substance to an animal includes a removable delivery section including a delivery arrangement adapted to deliver the substance to the animal; and a drive section including a drive arrangement adapted to actuate the delivery arrangement in a coupled condition in which the removable delivery section is coupled to the drive section. The delivery section includes an electronic device adapted to communicate with a control system associated with at least the drive section in the coupled condition, the electronic device being configurable so to be readable by the control system such that the control system is able to identify and operate the removable delivery section.
