Abstract
A syringe safety system including a dispensing device and at least one safety syringe housing a syringe. The dispensing device includes a casing, a cap having a display screen, a microcontroller in communication with the display screen, and a carrier assembly. The carrier assembly configured to be positioned within an inner volume of the casing. The carrier assembly configured to support the at least one safety syringe around a central axis, rotate the at least one injector about the central axis, and dispense the at least one safety syringe out the distal opening in the casing for use.
Claims24
A syringe safety system comprising:
- at least one safety syringe comprising a first safety syringe comprising a first outer casing configured to enclose a first syringe having a first barrel, a first needle extending distally from the first barrel, and a first plunger insertable within the first barrel to dispense a first drug within the first barrel;
- and
- a dispensing device comprising:
- an outer casing comprising a sidewall defining an inner volume, a distal opening, and a proximal opening opposite the distal opening;
- a cap configured to couple to and enclose the proximal opening of the outer casing;
- a microcontroller configured to be housed within the outer casing and in communication with at least one battery;
- a carrier assembly configured to be positioned within the inner volume of the outer casing, the carrier assembly comprising:
- a carrier clip configured to support the at least one safety syringe around a central axis;
- a guide tube coupled to the carrier clip and comprising a first track for guiding linear movement of the first safety syringe;
- a lumen extending through the guide tube;
- a lead screw positioned within the lumen;
- a guide tube motor rotatably coupled to the lead screw and in communication with the microcontroller;
- a carrier motor rotatably coupled to the guide tube and in communication with the microcontroller;
- a lead nut engaged with the lead screw and comprising a protrusion that is sized and shaped to be received in the first track to guide linear movement of the first safety syringe;
- and a first plunger coupler including a first plunger support portion and a first protrusion extending outwards from the first plunger support portion, the first protrusion configured to be received within the first track, the first plunger support portion positioned to engage the first plunger of the first syringe, wherein the protrusion of the lead nut is configured to contact the first protrusion of the first plunger coupler in the first track such that linear movement in a distal direction of the lead nut via rotation of the lead screw by the guide tube motor is configured to cause distal advancement of the first plunger support portion and the first safety syringe at least partially out of the distal opening of the outer casing.

A system, comprising:
- a safety syringe system comprising a dispensing device and at least one safety syringe supported within the dispensing device and configured to be dispensed from the dispensing device, the dispensing device comprising a carrier assembly supporting the at least one safety syringe and comprising at least one motor, a casing comprising a distal opening and enclosing the carrier assembly and the at least one safety syringe, and a computing device in communication with the at least one motor and having one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, as a result of being executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform the operations including:
- actuating a first motor of the at least one motor to dispense a first safety syringe of the at least one safety syringe at least partially out of the distal opening of the casing.

A syringe safety system comprising:
- a dispensing device configured to enclose and dispense one or more syringes, the dispensing device comprising:
- an outer casing comprising a sidewall defining an inner volume, a distal opening, and a proximal opening opposite the distal opening;
- a cap configured to couple to and enclose the proximal opening of the outer casing;
- a microcontroller configured to be housed within the outer casing and in communication with at least one battery;
- a carrier assembly configured to support the one or more syringes within the inner volume of the outer casing, the carrier assembly comprising a drive system in communication with the microcontroller, the drive system configured to provide movement of a first syringe of the one or more syringes from within the inner volume of the outer casing to at least partially out of the inner volume of the outer casing.
