Patent number: 9950126Abstract: A medication injector that has an alert indicator that alerts the user when the medication injector is approaching near the end of its medication supply is disclosed. The alert indicator gives the user an opportunity to make preparations to obtain additional medication for the injector if there is an insufficient amount of medication in the injector to enable the user to dispense the required dosage amount with the next injection. Initially, the alert indicator is not visible to the user, but becomes visible to the user when the injector is near empty.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp.Inventors: Peter A.
