Auto injector for administering medicament with mixing capabilities
A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US11957880B2) discloses an auto injector designed for administering a medicament. The auto injector includes a housing, a cartridge receiver for receiving a cartridge containing two medicament components, an orientation sensor to detect the orientation of the cartridge and injector, a drive module to move a plunger rod for mixing the medicament components, and a processing unit to control the mixing process and provide an onset signal after a specified number of inversions. Importantly, the processing unit operates independently of the medicament's temperature, ensuring consistent performance.
Furthermore, the auto injector's orientation sensor, which may include accelerometers or gyroscopes, plays a crucial role in detecting the completion of inversions based on angular velocity and angle thresholds. The processing unit can provide feedback to the user through visible or acoustic signals, ensuring proper usage. Additionally, the injector can perform an air-shot after a set number of inversions, further enhancing its functionality. The patent also highlights the flexibility of defining inversion thresholds based on the auto injector or cartridge code features, allowing for customization based on specific requirements. Overall, this patented auto injector introduces innovative features to enhance the administration of medicaments, ensuring accurate mixing and reliable performance.
