Publication number: 20250035475Abstract: Metered dispensing assemblies comprising: a receptacle; a dispensing tube; and one or more apertures on the portion of the dispensing tube that lies within the receptacle. The metered dispensing assemblies may engage a reservoir. Upon application of pressure to a fluid within the reservoir, the fluid may flow through the dispensing tube and through the one or more apertures to deposit in the receptacle. If the fill line of the fluid in the receptacle is above the one or more apertures when the pressure is released, the fluid will flow through the aperture and the dispensing tube into the reservoir, leaving a precise dosage remaining in the receptacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventor: Frank Francavilla

Patent number: 10518044Abstract: A holder with a safety shield for a drug delivery device; the shield obstructing access to a needle of the drug delivery device following use thereof. The safety shield may be actively deployed, in which case the health care worker must perform an action beyond complete depression of the pusher into the body of the drug delivery device to deploy the shield. Alternatively, the safety shield may be deployed passively or automatically, in which case deployment of the shield occurs upon complete depression of the pusher into the body, with no additional action required of the health care worker. The safety shield is springloaded and released to its extended position by a mechanical coupling of a series of position members, including levers, formed on the holder and the drug delivery device.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventor: Frank Francavilla

Patent number: 10285987Abstract: A device for dosing and dispensing a dose of a non-liquid medicine that comprises a body connectable to a container containing an amount of a non-liquid medicine. When the body is connected with the container, an amount of the non-liquid medicine may be transferred from the container to at least one chamber defined within the body. In a preferred embodiment, two chambers are defined within the body, each having a different predetermined size (i.e., volume). A user may set the amount of the non-liquid medicine to be transferred using a plunger rod slideably located within the at least one chamber, or with each of the two chambers. A kit comprises the device and a non-liquid medicine that is readily dispersible in an aqueous solution suitable for oral administration, preferably a temozolomide formulation that can be titrated readily and accurately.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2017Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: AmpliPharm Pharmaceuticals, LLCInventors: Gary Payton, Frank Francavilla
