  • Publication number: 20230063816
    Abstract: The adaptor including a proximal part configured to be secured onto a distal tip of a medical container, a distal part configured to receive said connector in order to establish a fluid communication between the distal tip of the medical container and the connector, said distal part including a window extending through a lateral wall of the adpator. The adaptor further includes an indicator that is movable between a first position and a second position wherein the indicator outwardly extends relative to the first position. This indicator includes blocking means configured to block a movement of the indicator 8 from said first position to the second position, and a cam portion configured to be pushed outwardly by the connector when the connector reaches a predetermined position in the adaptor, thereby unblocking and pushing the indicator to the second position in order to provide an end user with a visual and tactile indication that the connection between the connector and the adaptor is terminated.

  • Patent number: 11534549
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an assisted injection device for injecting a composition contained in a medical container. The injection device includes a body configured to receive the medical container in a fixed position relative to the body. The injection device includes a spring-loaded piston rod translationally movable inside the body along a spring axis. The injection device includes a lever pivotably mounted on the body about a first pivot axis orthogonal to the spring axis at a first distance form the spring axis. The injection device includes a selective blocking system coupled to the lever by a second pivot axis orthogonal to the spring axis. The lever is pivotable between a rest position. The selective blocking system engages the piston rod to prevent any translation movement of the piston rod and a second position wherein the selective blocking system releases the piston rod.
