Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an information transmitter having an electronics circuit, said electronics circuit has a transmitter; an antenna operably connected to said transmitter. Memory storage elements are also included having unique identification data with at least one activation element capable of activating said electronics circuit to transmit said unique identification data to external receivers. The present disclosure also relates to a medicament delivery device utilizing the information transmitter.
Claims20
A medicament delivery device configured to administer a dose of medicament, where the medicament delivery device comprises:
- a housing having a proximal end;
- a protective cap removably attached to the proximal end;
- a dose delivery mechanism positioned within the housing;
- a label affixed to a portion of the housing and to a portion of the protective cap, where the label comprises a tear line that is torn when the protective cap is removed from the housing;
- an electronics circuit comprising:
- memory storage elements comprising unique identification data;
- and
- at least one activation element contained in the label that spans the tear line such that tearing the tear line causes the at least one activation element to activate the electronics circuit,
- wherein upon activation of the electronics circuit the unique identification data becomes available for retrieval from the memory storage elements.
A medicament delivery device configured to administer a dose of medicament directly into a user through injection or inhalation, the medicament delivery device comprises:
- a housing having a proximal end;
- a protective cap removably attached to the proximal end, where an interface is located between a distal end of the cap and a portion of the proximal end, and where the protective cap is removed by a user before the medicament delivery device is used;
- a dose delivery mechanism positioned within the housing;
- a label affixed to the housing and the protective cap covering the interface such that the label is torn along a tear line in the label when the user removes the protective cap from the housing;
- an electronics circuit comprising:
- a transmitter;
- an antenna operably connected to the transmitter;
- memory storage elements comprising unique identification data;
- and
- at least one activation element contained in the label that spans the tear line, where removal of the protective cap tears the tear line causing the at least one activation element to activate the electronics circuit,
- wherein upon activation the unique identification data becomes available for retrieval from the memory storage elements.
