The mechanical stop is configured to hold the drug delivery device in a static delivery state.

Abstract: Various exemplary drug delivery devices with multiple drug vials, drug products utilizing the same, and methods of using drug delivery devices with multiple drug vials are provided. In general, a nasal drug delivery device configured to dispense a drug therefrom into a nose and includes two or more vials each containing the drug therein. The drug delivery device is configured to deliver the drug from each of the vials for a total of two or more sprays into the nose. The same drug delivery device may therefore deliver multiple drug sprays to a user. In some embodiments, instead of including two or more vials that collectively contain enough drug therein for more than two drug sprays, the drug delivery device can include a single vial that contains enough drug therein for more than two drug sprays.

Abstract: Various exemplary drug holders (102, 200) for drug delivery devices (100), drug products utilizing the same, and methods of using drug holders for drug delivery devices are provided. In general, a nasal drug delivery device is configured to dispense therefrom at least one dose of a drug therefrom into a nose. The drug delivery device includes a drug holder that contains the drug therein that is delivered out of the drug delivery device. The drug holder can include two cavities (208, 210) therein that are fluidically sealed from one another prior to use of the drug delivery device to cause drug delivery. A first one of the cavities includes the drug therein, and a second one of the cavities includes a drug or air therein.

Abstract: Various exemplary drug delivery devices with lock-out before drug delivery, drug products utilizing the same, and methods of using drug delivery devices with lock-out before drug delivery are provided. In general, a nasal drug delivery device is configured to dispense a drug therefrom into a nose and is configured to be releasably coupled to an accessory. The accessory is a separate, independent member from the drug delivery device such that in its decoupled state, the accessory is completely removed from the drug delivery device.

Abstract: Various exemplary drug delivery devices with on-board drug destruction, drug products utilizing the same, and methods of using drug delivery devices with on-board drug destruction are provided. In general, a nasal drug delivery device configured to dispense a drug therefrom into a nose includes a destruction mechanism configured to destroy drug contained in the drug delivery device. The destruction mechanism can be configured to destroy the drug before a first actuation of the drug delivery device to deliver the drug therefrom such that the destruction mechanism destroys substantially all of the drug contained in the drug delivery device. Alternatively or in addition, the destruction mechanism can be configured to destroy the drug after a first actuation of the drug delivery device to deliver the drug therefrom such that the destruction mechanism destroys substantially all of the drug remaining in the drug delivery device.

Abstract: Various exemplary liquid drug pumps including user feedback indicating pump orientation are provided. In general, a pump configured to deliver a liquid drug to a patient includes a user interface configured to indicate an orientation of the pump. The pump also includes a reservoir configured to contain the drug therein, a conduit configured to receive the drug therein from the reservoir, a needle or cannula in fluid communication with the conduit and configured to deliver the drug therethrough to a patient wearing the pump, a fluid path fluidly connecting the reservoir and the needle or cannula, and a pumping assembly configured to pump the fluid through the fluid path from the reservoir to the needle or cannula. The user interface indicating the pump's orientation allows a user of the pump to know whether or not the pump is in a desired orientation for delivery of the drug to the patient.

Abstract: Various exemplary methods, systems, and devices for injection pump needle mechanics are provided.

Abstract: In general, systems for administering a dmg are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a dmg administration system includes a dmg administration device configured to communicate with a computer system and at least one sensor configured to obtain sensor data and communicate the sensor data to the drug administration device. The dmg administration device is configured to utilize a first drug dosing scheme when a drug is delivered to a patient, determine a second drug dosing scheme for delivering a drug to the patient dependent on dosing data from the computer system and sensor data collected by the sensor during and/or after the delivery of the first drug according to the first drug dosing scheme, and utilize the second drug dosing scheme when the drug is delivered to the patient.

Abstract: In general, drug administration devices configured to communicate with networks and external devices are provided.
