  • Publication number: 20210268197
    Abstract: An injection device uses telescoping and/or nested components and other features to make the overall device compact in size. The device is configured to have a storage position and an extended position, such that its needle is positioned within the housing of the device in a storage position, with the needle extending beyond the device housing when needed for an injection. The telescoping plunger mechanism has a storage position and an extended position for use. The device includes a needle depth cover, which extends from the device housing for use, and guides the user as to the correct depth for the needle to penetrate the user's skin. A switch allows different depth settings, for example allowing a deeper penetration for injection into a leg, and shallower penetration for injection into an arm.

  • Publication number: 20210268198
    Abstract: In embodiments herein, a resettable auto injection training device is provided, wherein actuation of the device requires both safety shield actuation and actuation member actuation. The training device includes audible feedback signaling actuation and completion of injection simulation. The training device audible feedback may be provided by movement of mechanical components relative to one another in embodiments herein. Further embodiments include safety features provided by compression of the safety shield post training to lock a plunger and injection simulation device within the training device until reset.

  • Publication number: 20210268199
    Abstract: An insulin-dosage detection device is arranged on a rotation member of an insulin injection pen having an injection button. The rotation variation of the rotation member corresponds to the injection dosage of the insulin injection pen. The insulin-dosage detection device has a circuit, a detection button, and a processor. The circuit, arranged on the rotation member of the insulin injection pen, outputs electronic signals in response to rotation of the rotation member. The detection button is connected to the injection button. The rotation member of the insulin injection pen rotates in response to the detection button and the injection button being pressed. The circuit rotates along with the rotation member. The processor, coupled to the circuit, calculates the rotation variation of the rotation member according to a first electronic signal and a second electronic signal respectively output from the circuit before and after the rotation of the circuit.

  • Publication number: 20210268203
    Abstract: A medical device connector includes a fluid transfer tip including a tapered surface for creating a friction fitting between the fluid transfer tip and a hub. A separable collar includes a first and second arcuate segments. The second segment includes an engagement feature for engaging with a corresponding engagement feature of a hub. A moveable disconnection member is arranged such that movement of the disconnection member moves the second segment of the separable collar from a first closed collar configuration position, to a second position, corresponding to an open collar configuration, in which the second segment is moved relative to the fluid transfer tip and the first segment, so as to allow disengagement of the engagement feature from the corresponding engagement feature. Movement of the disconnection member also releases the friction fitting between the fluid transfer tip and the hub.

    Abstract: A warming unit (21) coupled or configured to be coupled to a heated portion (19) of a fluid circuit (6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15; 107) of a medical device (1, 100). The warming unit (21) comprises a leakage current reduction circuit (35) configured to perform the following procedure: connecting a heat transfer element (22) of the warming unit (21) to a ground connection (33) through a resistance element (34), which keeps a normal condition patient leakage current below a first limit value, and disconnecting the heat transfer element (22) from the ground connection (33) if a current indicating that the patient is connected to the mains voltage is sensed through the resistance element (34), in order to keep a fault condition patient leakage current below a second limit value.
