Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drug administration device configured to administer a drug. In an exemplary embodiment the drug administration device includes a housing including first and second housing electrical contacts, a dispensing mechanism, a drug holder, a removable power supply including first and second power supply electrical contacts, and at least one protection mechanism in a first protecting configuration when the removable power supply is not received within the housing and in a second configuration when the removable power supply is received within the housing. In another exemplary embodiment the drug administration device includes a housing, a dispensing mechanism disposed within the housing, a removable power supply that is configured to be received within the housing, a sensor configured to determine remaining charge of the removable power supply, and a processor configured to modify operation of the drug administration device in response to data produced by the sensor.

Abstract: Drug delivery systems and methods are provided for monitoring and/or tracking exposure of a drug to one or more conditions that can affect performance of the drug.

Abstract: A device for training users in a proper mixing of pharmaceutical components, or for aiding in the mixing, or for performing the mixing, and administration of pharmaceutical components is disclosed. The device comprises a housing for receiving a pharmaceutical delivery device containing the pharmaceutical components. There is also a microcontroller disposed in the housing and a motion/orientation detection device disposed within or on the housing and in communication with the microcontroller. A method for use of the device is also disclosed, along with a substance for use as one of the pharmaceutical components.

Abstract: In general, adaptive responses from smart packaging of drug delivery absorbable adjuncts and methods of using smart packaging of drug delivery absorbable adjuncts are provided.

Abstract: In general, systems and methods for controlling operation of drug administration devices using surgical hubs are provided.

Abstract: A grip accessory for a manual injection device comprises a housing having a generally hollow body for supporting a manual injection device therein. The housing comprises a distal portion comprising a first opening into which a manual injection device can be inserted, a proximal portion comprising a second opening through which a needle of the manual injection device is extendable, the proximal portion comprising a skin contacting surface at a proximal end of the device. An intermediate portion extends between the proximal and distal portions and guide means is provided on an interior surface of the distal portion for guiding a plunger rod of an injection device during delivery of an injection.

Abstract: A cap for an injection device includes a removable needle boot for covering a needle of a syringe within the injection device. The cap comprises a cap body and a first boot engagement portion. The first boot engagement portion is movable relative to the cap body and comprises a first pinch portion. The first pinch portion is configured such that application of compressive force to the first pinch portion effects engagement of the first boot engagement portion with the needle boot for removal of the needle boot with the cap as it is removed from the injection device.
