Abstract
Auto-injectors and associated assemblies and methods for delivery of liquid medicament in a controlled manner are disclosed herein.
Claims15
A method for automated delivery of a liquid medicament to a subject from an injector assembly, the method comprising:
- positioning a cartridge carrying the liquid medicament in an internal cavity of an injector;
- receiving input to define one or more injection parameters;
- calculating an injection force;
- and
- initiating an injection of the liquid medicament using the injection force,
- wherein calculating the injection force comprises calculating a viscosity of the liquid medicament using at least a rheology program stored in a memory of the injector assembly, and wherein the rheology program is specific to the liquid medicament.
3 more elements
An injector assembly for automatically delivering a dose of a liquid medicament in a controlled manner, comprising:
- a dose module comprising a cartridge housing a hypodermic syringe, wherein the hypodermic syringe contains the dose of the liquid medicament, and wherein the hypodermic syringe is coupled to a hypodermic needle;
- an injector having an internal cavity for receiving the cartridge, the injector comprising:
- a motor configured to move the hypodermic needle from a retracted position to an extended position;
- a power source;
- a controller in communication with the power source and a plurality of sensors, the controller having instruction for causing the injector to:
- receive input from the plurality of sensors to define one or more injection parameters, and
- calculate an injection force for delivering the dose of the liquid medicament in a controlled manner, wherein calculating the injection force comprises calculating a viscosity of the liquid medicament using at least a rheology program stored in a memory of the injector assembly, and wherein the rheology program is specific to the liquid medicament.
