Abstract: A stopper is configured to be disposed within a medical cartridge includes a shell defining a cavity and an exterior surface sized and shaped to fit inside the medical cartridge and an insert configured to be inserted into the cavity, where the insert includes an electronic device having a sensor configured to generate a sensing signal. The shell is configured to be advanced into the medical cartridge by a plunger to apply pressure to a substance contained in the medical cartridge and the shell is configured to pass the sensing signal therethrough. The sensor is configured to be responsive to the position of the stopper in the medical cartridge.

Abstract: A stopper is disclosed herein. The stopper is configured to be disposed within a medical cartridge. The stopper includes a shell defining a cavity, a core arranged within the cavity, and at least one electronic device embedded within the core, wherein the at least one electronic device includes a sensor and wherein the shell is configured to pass a sensing signal therethrough.

Abstract: A liquid medicament administration device includes a body configured to contain and support a medicament container. The body includes an aperture. The aperture includes a viewing window that is coincident with the medicament container when the medicament container is present. The device is configured such that the viewing window is size-adjustable. Also disclosed are associated methods of manufacture.

Abstract: A lockout feature for an injection device includes a time lock that prevents a user from administering a dose of medicament prior to a pre-determined time interval. The lockout feature can interface with a cap and dose setting module to prevent removal of the cap or it can work to disable the dose delivery module to prevent an injection from occurring.
