Abstract: At least one hand-held injection device for the metered injection of a liquid drug into a person's tissue is disclosed. The exemplary injection device comprises an elongated drug reservoir having a longitudinal reservoir axis (A), an elongated dosing unit having a dosing unit inlet, a dosing unit outlet, and a metering cavity, the dosing unit having a longitudinal dosing unit axis (A?), the elongated drug reservoir being fluidically coupled to the dosing unit inlet. The dosing unit and the drug reservoir are arranged such that the longitudinal dosing unit axis (A?) is in parallel alignment with the reservoir axis (A). The dosing unit structured to allow the flow of the liquid drug from the drug reservoir into the metering cavity via the dosing unit inlet, thus charging the metering cavity, and to subsequently discharge the metering cavity by dosing drug out of the metering cavity into the dosing unit outlet.

Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed which automatically reconstitute a drug, such as e.g., a lyophilized drug. A vial (30) containing the drug is fluidly coupled to a cartridge (12) containing a reconstitution liquid with a fluid conduit (14f), wherein an entry point is defined where the fluid conduit enters the vial (30). The device (10) automatically adjusts orientation of the vial (30) such that the entry point of the vial is gravitationally higher than the drug in the vial (30), and automatically transfers the reconstitution liquid out of the cartridge (12) and into the vial (30) to create a reconstituted drug. The device (10) also automatically adjusts the orientation of the vial (30) such that the entry point of the vial is gravitationally lower than the reconstituted drug, and automatically transfers the reconstituted drug from the vial (30) and into the cartridge (12).

Abstract: A device for automatically delivering a drug to a user and method thereof are disclosed. The device (10, 20, 70, 110) provides a connector to which a vial (12, 50, 60, 100, 130, 202) containing the drug is removably connected and situated thereto in a substantially inverted position. When commanded by the user, the device (10, 20, 70, 110) starts a reconstitution process to automatically create a reconstituted drug, and provides an indication that the reconstitution process is complete such that the vial (12, 50, 60, 100, 130, 202) may be removed from the connector (22, 72,112). After disposing the device (10, 20, 70, 110) on the user, the device (10, 20, 70, 110) can automatically deliver the reconstituted drug to the user when further commanded by the user.
