Publication number: 20220072238Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide a needle shield remover that reliably engages with a distal cap of an automatic injection device and with one or more needle shields coupled to a syringe of the device. When a user removes the distal cap, the needle shield remover reliably removes the needle shields (e.g., a soft needle shield and a rigid needle shield) from the syringe, thereby exposing the injection needle for performing an injection. In an exemplary assembly method, a needle shield remover is engaged to a needle shield coupled to a syringe, prior to insertion of the syringe and needle shield remover assembly into a housing of the device. This exemplary assembly method allows visual inspection, outside the housing of the device, to ensure that the needle shield remover is correctly and reliably engaged to the needle shield before the syringe and needle shield remover assembly is inserted into the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Joseph F. Julian, Chuan Li, Philip D. Anderson, Linas P. Laurusonis, Lior Raday, Ehud Carmel, Lior Marli, David Daily, Guy Keenan

Patent number: 9443445Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide reusable training automatic injection training devices, and components thereof, to simulate and/or mimic an operation of an actual automatic injection device. Exemplary embodiments of the training device can provide audible instructions, which can be in different languages, output from circuitry associated with the training device. Exemplary embodiment of the training device can be a self-contained and portable device that mimics a shape, size, and function of an actual automatic injection device without including a needle or any drug on board. Exemplary embodiments can be implemented to train a user on an operation and/or usage of an actual automatic injection device using embodiments of the automatic injection training devices so that a user can practice an autoinjection without injecting a therapeutic agent, such as a liquid drug, into a recipient.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: AbbVie Inc.Inventors: Linas P.

Publication number: 20140270897Abstract: Fluid applicators for use with topical medications are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a housing and a fluid container disposed inside the housing. The example apparatus also includes a pump assembly disposed inside the housing and fluidly coupled to the fluid container. The example apparatus further includes an applicator coupled to the housing. The applicator defines an outlet and has a surface to be in contact with an application site on a person. The surface is in fluid communication with the pump assembly via the outlet. The example apparatus also includes an actuator operatively coupled to the pump assembly. Movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position is to operate the pump to dispense a dose of the fluid onto the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: ABBVIE INC.Inventors: Linas P.
