Publication number: 20240399051Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses and methods for an ambulatory infusion pump actuated with a shape memory alloy (SMA) wire. An SMA wire operated mechanism can include an actuator lever to increase the SMA wire's strain into a usable displacement to pull on a pawl that ratchets to a ratchet wheel to rotate a lead screw to advance a plunger a precise amount within a reservoir to deliver a precise amount of fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2024Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: Eduardo Ho, Reza Farshchi, William T. Travaskis

Publication number: 20240066215Abstract: A drug delivery device for delivering a medicament includes a pump first housing, a pump second housing, an inlet fluid path, and an outlet fluid path. The pump first housing is at least partially supporting and/or surrounding a fluid displacement assembly. The pump second housing is at least partially supporting and/or surrounding a drive component for driving the fluid displacement assembly. The inlet fluid path is configured to deliver medicament to the fluid displacement assembly. The outlet fluid path is configured to receive medicament from the fluid displacement assembly. The pump first housing and the pump second housing are removably coupled with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2020Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Scott R.

Patent number: 11883653Abstract: An electroporation device with a needle array removably attached thereto, the needle array having a body, a shroud movable with respect to the body between a rest position and one or more actuated positions, and an auto-lock assembly. Where the auto-lock assembly is adjustable between a locked configuration, where the shroud is not movable with respect to the body, and an unlocked configuration, where the shroud is movable with respect to the body, and where biasing the shroud from the rest position to the one or more actuated positions and back to the rest position adjusts the auto-lock from the unlocked configuration to the locked configuration.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Inovio PharmaceuticalsInventors: Beat Stadelmann, Stephen Kemmerrer, Alejandro Campillo-Agusti, Eduardo Ho, Nathan Lovell, Steven Masterson

Patent number: 9757527Abstract: Barrel adapters for safety syringes include a barrel and a plunger assembly adapted to move within the barrel, a barrel tip adapted to be sealingly engaged with a distal end of the barrel and a needle retraction mechanism barrel having a needle subassembly and an actuator subassembly. The needle subassembly includes a needle, and a needle-over-mold (NOM) through which the needle extends. The needle subassembly is disposed at least partially within the barrel tip, and adapted to move from an injection position in which the needle extends from a distal end of the barrel tip to a retracted position in which the needle is disposed within at least one of the barrel tip or the barrel. The actuator subassembly includes a needle seal, a push-bar, and an actuator surface. The needle retraction mechanism barrel includes a biasing member and an actuable locking arrangement. A syringe includes such barrel adapters.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: UNL Holdings LLCInventors: Kevin L.
