  • Publication number: 20130245565
    Abstract: A drug delivery device having a spring element that provides dispense assistance. The drug delivery device includes a variable dose setting mechanism, a fixed dose setting mechanism, and a mechanical coupling having a spring element. The variable dose setting mechanism is operably coupled to a first reservoir holding a first medicament, and the variable dose setting mechanism comprises a dose setter. The fixed dose setting mechanism is operably coupled to a second reservoir holding a second medicament. The mechanical coupling operably couples the variable dose setting mechanism and the fixed dose setting mechanism. Further, the variable dose setting mechanism is configured to set a variable dose of the first medicament upon activation of the dose setter, and the fixed dose setting mechanism is configured to set a fixed dose of the second medicament during variable dose setting.

  • Publication number: 20130245561
    Abstract: A drug delivery system to deliver two or more medicaments operable through a auto-injector drug delivery device and a single dispense interface. The device comprises a housing defining a primary reservoir containing a first medicament. A dosing mechanism operably connected to the primary reservoir. A single dispense interface is configured for fluid communication with the primary reservoir and a secondary reservoir of medicament containing at least one drug agent configured for fluid communication to the single dispense interface. A single activation of the dosing mechanism causes medicament from the primary reservoir and a non-user settable dose of the second medicament to be expelled through the single dispense interface.

  • Publication number: 20130237924
    Abstract: A drug delivery device for co-delivery of two medicaments. The drug delivery device has a dose setter, a first dose dial component, a second dose dial component, and a collar. The first dose dial component is configured to select a first dose of a first medicament, and the first dose dial component is operably connected to the dose setter. The second dose dial component is configured to select a second dose of a second medicament. In addition, the first dose dial component and the second dose dial component are connected to the collar. The collar is configured to be moved in a proximal direction by actuation of the dose setter. Further, when the collar is moved in a proximal direction, the first dose dial component and the second dose dial component are configured to move proximally to set a dose “A” for the first medicament with the first dose dial component and set a dose “B” for the second medicament with the second dose dial component.

  • Publication number: 20130237932
    Abstract: A medicated module for an injection system to co-deliver at least two medicaments is disclosed where a primary delivery device containing a primary medicament accepts a medicated module containing a single dose of a secondary medicament and where both medicaments are delivered through a hollow needle. The medicated module does not require the user to manually engage a reservoir containing the secondary medicament. Instead, a biasing member automatically activates the reservoir when the needle guard is retracted. The needle guard prevents accidental needle sticks before and after an injection, and locks after dose delivery.

  • Publication number: 20130231614
    Abstract: A dedicated needle assembly (300) that can be attached only to a dedicated drug delivery device (400) is disclosed. The dedicated needle assembly (300) comprises a connecting body (320) extending from a distal end to a proximal end. A dedicated mechanical coupling (310) is configured at the proximal end of the connecting body (320). The dedicated mechanical coupling (310) forms a releasable connection to a distal end of the dedicated drug delivery device (400). The dedicated needle assembly (300) may comprise a medicated module or, alternatively, a non-medicated module. In one arrangement, the dedicated mechanical coupling (310) is integral with the dedicated needle assembly (300).

  • Publication number: 20130231613
    Abstract: A drug delivery device having a trigger biasing member that provides dispense assistance. The drug delivery device includes a variable dose setting mechanism that is operably coupled to a primary reservoir holding a first medicament. The drug delivery device also includes a fixed dose setting mechanism that is operably coupled to a secondary reservoir holding a second medicament. The fixed dose setting mechanism comprises a trigger biasing member or spring. In addition, the drug delivery device includes a mechanical coupling that operably couples the variable dose setting mechanism and the fixed dose setting mechanism. During dose setting, activation of a single dose setter sets a variable dose of the first medicament. Setting of a minimum dose of the first medicament causes a fixed dose of the second medicament to be automatically set, and, during dispense, the trigger spring at least assists with the dispense of the fixed dose of the second medicament.

  • Publication number: 20130046246
    Abstract: Disclosed is a safety needle assembly has a needle guard that prevents accidental needle sticks before and after an injection. A locking collar rotates during use as an inner protrusion follows three paths of a track located on the outer surface of a body housing. When the inner facing protrusion is in the third path, it encounters a hard stop and a rotational bias that locks the guard from further retraction and, thus, covers the sharp distal end of the needle.
