Patent number: 12161843Abstract: An automatic drug delivery device, for dispensing a fluid medicament, includes: a longitudinal housing; a removable cap; a syringe assembly having a hollow syringe body and an injection needle; and a drive mechanism. The loaded drive mechanism is operatively coupled with a safety shield movable within the longitudinal housing. The safety shield is biased into a proximal position in which it protrudes out of the proximal end of the longitudinal housing in order to cover a needle tip of the injection needle. The safety shield is movable into a distal position in which the injection needle is exposed for injection. The device includes a feedback mechanism providing a visual feedback to the user indicating an actual state of operation. The feedback mechanism includes a visual indicator which appears in a transparent window on the distal end of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2019Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Novartis AGInventors: Jacques Appy, Andrew Bryant, Neil Cammish, Congyi Huang, John Palmer-Felgate, Claudio Rossi, Oliver Shergold, Gianluca Tordi, Adrian Francios Von Muralt, Mark Horlock

Publication number: 20230191030Abstract: An autoinjector device is provided. The autoinjector device can include an activator unit including an activation housing, an activation guard, and an activation shell such that a portion of the activation guard extends beyond a proximal end of the activation shell. The autoinjector device can include camouflage on a proximal surface to obscure a device lock hole and reduce user confusion around needle orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Ajoy CHAKRABARTI, Eric BALSLEY, Jacques APPY, Sylvain STAMPER, Frédéric ALFONSI, Gaëtan PAINCHAUD, Nicolas KUNTZER
