Abstract: An injection device for delivering an injection comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end, the housing being arranged such that the injection is delivered from its distal end; and a release mechanism comprising an impediment, the release mechanism being moveable between a first position, in which the impediment is in an impeding position so as to impede the delivery of the injection, and a second position, in which the impediment is in a non-impeding position so as to not impede the delivery of the injection, wherein the force required to move the release mechanism from the first position to the second position varies with the distance moved by the release mechanism, the variation in the force required with distance being represented by a force profile, which is non-linear.

Abstract: A delivery device is provided having a container containing a dose of greater than 40 mg of a powder and having at least one exit orifice for dispensing the dose from the container, a chamber adapted to receive the container in an operative configuration, at least one gas inlet by which gas may enter the chamber and at least one gas outlet by which gas and entrained powder may exit the chamber. The delivery device is operable to generate a gas flow through the chamber between the at least one gas inlet and the at least one gas outlet, which brings about orbital motion of the container within the chamber in that at least a central region of the container orbits a central axis of the chamber.

Abstract: Described is a medicament cartridge comprising a housing having open proximal and distal ends, a first coupling mechanism, and a syringe slidably disposed in the housing. The syringe includes a needle and has a retracted position in which the needle is covered by the housing and an extended position in which the needle is exposed. A delivery device comprises the medicament cartridge, an actuator comprising a plunger, a motor adapted to translate the plunger, a second coupling mechanism adapted to detachably engage the first coupling mechanism, and a control button adapted to actuate the motor. A carrier comprises a first slot for at least partially containing the actuator, a second slot for at least partially containing the medicament cartridge, a user interface adapted to provide at least one a visual signal and an audible signal.

Abstract: Described is a cartridge comprising a body adapted to contain a medicament, a bung slidably disposed in the body and having a distal face and a proximal face, and a light element coupled to a component of the cartridge. Further described is a medicament delivery device comprising the cartridge, a first receiver adapted to receive an optical signal from the light element and convert the optical signal into a first electrical signal, and a second receiver adapted to receive an optical signal from the light element and convert the optical signal into a second electrical signal.

Abstract: There is provided a guide 200 for contacting an injection device 110 with a user; the guide 200 having a first end 210 adapted to engage a housing 112 of the injection device 110 and a second end 220 adapted to engage the surface of a user's skin, wherein the guide 200 permits movement of the housing 112 towards the user's skin.

Abstract: Described is a syringe carrier comprising a body adapted to receive a barrel of a syringe. The body includes two sections having distal ends with shoulder sections. The shoulder sections are adapted to engage a circumferential gap between the barrel of the syringe and a needle shield covering a needle of the syringe.

Abstract: Described is an autoinjector comprising of a case, a motor adapted to rotate a drive gear, and a curvi-linear plunger adapted to mate with the drive gear. The plunger includes a distal end with a resilient flange, which in a non-deflected state, abuts a proximal collar of a syringe, and, in a deflected state, advances through the proximal collar and engages a stopper in the syringe.

Abstract: Described is an autoinjector comprising a case, a door hingedly coupled to the case and having an open position and a closed position, a plunger slidably disposed in the case, and at least one drive spring applying a biasing force on the plunger relative to the case, wherein the door is operably coupled to the plunger, and wherein rotation of the door from the closed position to the open position moves the plunger from a distal position in the case to a proximal position in the case and compresses the at least one drive spring.

Abstract: Described is a medicament delivery device having a case and a plurality of projections movable relative to the case between an extended position in which distal ends of the projections extends beyond a distal face of the case and a refracted position in which the distal ends of the projections are substantially co-planar with the distal face.

Abstract: A delivery device is provided which has a container containing a dose of a powder, a chamber adapted to receive the container, at least one gas inlet by which gas may enter the chamber, and at least one gas outlet by which gas and entrained powder may exit the chamber for inhalation. The delivery device has a pre-use configuration in which the container is accommodated, at least partially, within a storage enclosure in a wall of the chamber. The delivery device has a deployment member adapted to put the delivery device in an operative configuration by displacing the container from the storage enclosure into the chamber, such that the container is movable within the chamber, in use, the deployment member being adapted to at least partially occupy the storage enclosure in the operative configuration.

Abstract: A nebulizer is proposed as depicted in exemplary FIG. 7 which comprises a replaceable container, a counting device and a lock for locking the nebulizer against further use. The container is provided with an electronic storage which is electrically connected to the counting device. The nebulizer comprises an electric drive for actuating the lock. This allows secure operation and/or simple handling of the nebulizer.
