A61M 5/31
US Classification:
604189
Abstract:
A device () for delivering a medicament into a patient's body by injection into or through the patient's skin includes a body () having a reservoir () disposed therein for containing the medicament, an injection needle () for penetrating the skin of the patient, the needle () having a lumen and communicating with the reservoir (), and a pressurizing system for pressurizing the reservoir (). The device also includes indicator means () visible outside the device () for indicating that delivery of the medicament is substantially complete.

US Classification:
604228
Abstract:
A drug delivery device () includes a body () having a reservoir () disposed therein for containing a medicament and an injection needle () for penetrating the skin of a patient, the needle () providing a path for the medicament between the reservoir () and the patient. The device () also includes a plunger () movable within the body () for causing the medicament to be expelled from the reservoir (), and a biasing means () for biasing the plunger () toward the reservoir (), wherein in a pre-activated position, the biasing means () telescopes within itself, and upon activation, provides a force to the plunger () for expelling the medicament from the reservoir (). The biasing means () is preferably provided in the form of a conical spring having a variable pitch.
Self-Injection Device Having Needle Cover With Activation Preventer
A drug delivery device, including a body () having a reservoir () disposed therein for containing a medicament and an injection needle () for penetrating the skin of a patient, the needle () providing a path for the medicament between the reservoir () and the patient. The device also includes a rotor () rotatably disposed in the body () for activating the device upon rotation of the rotor (), a needle cover () for covering the injection needle, and a needle cover clip () disposed on the needle cover () to rotate from a first position preventing rotor rotation to a second position permitting rotor rotation.

US Classification:
60416706, 604256
Abstract:
A septum is disclosed that can be utilized in a catheter assembly to selectively seal an opening in the catheter assembly. The septum has a tube portion and a plug portion. The plug portion has a slit extending through it. The septum can transition from a non-collapsed state to a collapsed state. When the septum is in a non-collapsed state, the plug portion is offset from the tube portion such that some of the length of the slit extends outward from the distal end of the tube portion. When the septum transitions to the collapsed state, the plug portion is moved inward into the internal cavity such that some of the length of the slit may or may not extend outward from the distal end of the tube portion.

Abstract:
A self-slitting open lumen cannula may be used with catheter adapters to reduce manufacturing complexity and costs, as well as improve the safety of the catheter adapters against fluid leakage. The open lumen cannula may also include one or more notches to facilitate flashback visualization. The catheter adapters may further include a catheter adapter body formed of a compliant material that houses one or more compression resistant septa with at least one lumen formed by the proximal end of the needle during a self-slitting process as the catheter adapter is assembled. The compression resistant septum may also be coupled to a compression cap that imparts a radial compression force on the one or more compression resistant septa such that the at least one lumen narrows and seals when the cannula is removed.
