Patent number: 9884151Abstract: A system and method for a patch-like, self-contained multi-component substance infusion device which provides one or more substantially hidden patient needles which can be placed in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir assembly that includes a rigid bladder portion used in conjunction with a non-distensible bladder film, such as a metallized film. The device can be attached to a skin surface via an adhesive contact and a pressurization system provides a pressure to the contents of a fluid reservoir assembly. Improvements to dry powdered formulations for reconstitution for preferred use in the device are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Vincent J. Sullivan, Ge Jiang, Matthew S. Ferriter, Kenneth G. Powell, P. Spencer Kinsey, Carl R. Sahi, John M. Polidoro

Patent number: 9775947Abstract: A medical fluid communication system is disclosed comprising a pump controller and a fluid detector. The fluid detector detects characteristics of the fluid and provides fluid measurements to the pump controller, which detects if the fluid is flowing in the medication delivery system. In the event fluid is not flowing due to an occlusion, the pump controller may attempt to resolve the occlusion or may provide a warning to a user that an occlusion is occurring.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Steven Keith, Elaine McVey, Frances Tong, Ronald J.

Patent number: 8251958Abstract: A method and device for intradermal delivery of a reconstituted medicament. The device includes a chamber, which is in fluid communication with a microdevice, e.g. microabrader or one or more microneedles. A cartridge containing the medicament may be located within said chamber. At least one burstable membrane retains a medicament within the housing. The method involves the steps of positioning the device at a delivery site on the skin of a patient and intradermally administering the medicament by dispensing a diluent from a diluent source an through inlet port to rupture the membranes, reconstitute the medicament and deliver the reconstituted medicament through the microdevice to the dermal region of the skin.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2010Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Vincent J.

Publication number: 20110159047Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for preparing a stable powder formulation of an alum-adsorbed vaccine. The methods comprise atomizing a liquid formulation comprising an immunogen adsorbed onto an aluminum adjuvant to produce an atomized formulation, freezing the atomized formulation to produce frozen particles, and drying the frozen particles to produce dried powder particles. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a stable powder formulation of an alum-adsorbed vaccine are also disclosed herein. The pharmaceutical compositions are stable at high temperatures and can be reconstituted in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to produce a reconstituted liquid vaccine that exhibits little or no particle agglomeration and retains immunogenicity. Methods of using the alum-adsorbed vaccine compositions for preventing and treating a disease in a subject, wherein the disease is associated with the particular immunogen, are further provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2010Publication date: June 30, 2011Applicant: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Vincent J.
