Abstract: A device for administering a liquid to a human by means of injection of liquid. The device is configured with a movement device arranged to move a gripping element for gripping an injector. The injector is adapted with an individual dose of the liquid and an injection needle and preferably comprises a housing and an operating member to expel the liquid from the injector via the injection needle. The gripping element includes a first component for engaging the housing and a second component for operating an operating member. The first component and the second component are resistively slidable relative to each other, and the first component is connected to the movement device via the second component.

Abstract: A needle adaptor for forming an injection device for administering a fluid to a subject is disclosed. An assembly for forming an injection device for administering a fluid to a subject comprising a needle adaptor body is also disclosed. Methods for assembling the needle adaptor and the assembly are further disclosed, as are methods of administering a fluid to a subject using same, and kits and injection devices comprising same.

Abstract: A device for sampling an initial volume of a liquid flow is disclosed which comprises an inlet conduit, an outlet conduit, and valve casing. The valve casing has a passageway formed therethrough. A sample outlet extends through the valve casing and into the passageway. A valve structure is arranged for axial movement in the valve casing. A gate of the valve structure obstructs the passageway and prevents an initial volume of the liquid flow from being transferred to the outlet conduit when the valve structure is moved to a sampling position. A stem of the valve structure obstructs the sample outlet without obstructing the passageway when the valve structure is moved to a diverting position. At least one elongated groove is formed in a surface of the gate and extends into the stem such that the initial volume is directed through the sample outlet and towards a receptacle when the valve structure is moved to the sampling position.

Abstract: An oral fluid collection device includes a plunger and funnel to simultaneously collect and split a single specimen into metered doses for drug testing. The device may be used with collection tubes for collection of the metered doses and later testing. The device, when used, drives the metered dose into the collection tubes and removes bubbles in the specimen to provide improved accuracy in testing.

Abstract: An intradermal injection device comprises a housing, a foot with an opening for passage of a needle; a reservoir movably mounted in the housing, and having a hollow space for holding a fluid; a hollow needle movably mounted in the housing and having a first end for penetrating the subject's skin and a second end for penetrating the reservoir, a plunger movably mounted in the housing for moving the needle through the opening for penetrating the subject's skin, and for pressing the fluid out of the reservoir. The reservoir is frictionally mounted inside the housing by first friction means, and the plunger is frictionally mounted to the reservoir by second friction means. The force to overcome the second friction is larger than the force to overcome the first friction.
