  • Patent number: 10314981
    Abstract: A medication injection device (2) includes a housing (4) and a needled syringe (8) supported by the housing. The needle syringe has a plunger (10) and a volume containing medication. The medication injection device further includes an expelling mechanism (6) operably coupled to the plunger. Additionally, the device includes a thermal locking mechanism (20) operably coupled to the expelling mechanism, comprising a material which is solid when the device is refrigerated and transitions to a liquid or gel-like state at a phase-change temperature when the device is taken out of refrigeration and warms up together with the contained drug to a temperature which is suitable for performing an injection. In the solid state, the material keeps the expelling mechanism locked in a disabling condition inhibiting delivery of the medication and in its liquid state creates an enabling condition permitting delivery of the medication.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090305317
    Abstract: A testing system for testing an analyte in a fluid sample includes a user interface including a display for displaying information relating to measurements of health data and an input device for receiving information from a user relating to the health data. The testing system further includes an automarking feature adapted to identify a testing result of a control solution, the testing of the control solution being distinguishable from the testing of the fluid sample. The testing result of the control solution is not included in the information relating to the measurements of health data that is displayed to a user via the user interface.
