Abstract: Drug delivery devices and related methods of assembly are disclosed. The drug delivery device may include a housing and a container disposed therein. The container may include a reservoir containing a drug and a movable stopper. A first seal member may be connected to the container at a distal end of the reservoir. A first removable membrane may cover an exterior surface of the first seal member to maintain sterility of that surface prior to operation of the device. A fluid pathway assembly may be configured to establish fluid communication with the reservoir during operation of the device. A second seal member may be connected to a first end of the fluid pathway assembly. A second removable membrane may cover an exterior surface of the second seal member to maintain sterility of that surface prior to operation of the device.

Abstract: A testing assembly for a drug delivery device is disclosed. The testing assembly can include a pressure vessel having a sealed pressure chamber that is configured to be pressurized to a predetermined pressure. The pressure vessel further defines an injection opening extending from an exterior thereof to the pressure chamber. A pierceable barrier extends over and seals the injection opening. The testing assembly further includes a measurement device disposed within the pressure chamber and a container aligned with the injection opening, such that the container is configured to collect a dose of a drug delivered via a drug delivery device through the pierceable barrier and the measurement device is configured to measure the dose of the drug.

Abstract: An adhesive patch for a drug delivery device with a bacteria impermeable sterility margin surrounding an edge surface of the adhesive patch is disclosed, as well as a drug delivery device fixed to such an adhesive patch and a method of assembling a drug delivery device with such an adhesive patch. In some arrangements, the sterility margin is attached to or integral with a lower liner on a lower surface of the adhesive patch. In other arrangements, the sterility margin is attached to or integral with an upper liner on an upper surface of the adhesive patch.
