Abstract
A self-contained system for medication injection is activated by the user, who is able to distribute the medication through the self-contained needle system for intradermal or intramuscular application of the medication. The self-contained system may be a medication delivery pen having a pen body assembly comprising a distal end, a proximal end and a needle array containing a plurality of needles disposed within the pen body assembly.
Claims20
A medication delivery pen comprising:
- a proximal end;
- a single use, disposable elongated pen body assembly comprising a distal end,
- a needle the needle being an elongated body having a proximal needle spike at one end and an opposite end and fully contained within the pen body assembly before and after use during an injection;
- a cartridge having a reservoir of medicine, the cartridge being fully contained within the pen body assembly;
- and
- an actuator on the pen body for initiating the injection, whereby the actuator is adapted to cause movement of the needle together whereby the opposite end of the needle is inserted into the cartridge and the proximal needle spike extends out of the pen body;
- and
- wherein a fluid within the reservoir of medicine travels directly through the needle from the reservoir through the opposite end of the needle and exits through the proximal needle spike when delivering medicine through the medication delivery pen;
- further comprising a short range transceiver operatively connected to the elongated pen body assembly;
- and
- an intelligent control and a display, wherein the display is positioned on the pen body assembly and electrically connected to the intelligent control.
