Problems solved by technology

Thus, a user may be able to load the wrong medicament (such as rapid-acting or basal insulin) and then dispense the wrong medicament into the drug delivery device without noticing that the medical delivery device may not have been designed or intended to be used with such a cartridge

Embodiment Construction

[0056] A. Overview

[0057] The methods and systems of the present invention may allow information associated with drug containers to be identified by electronic sensors. The proposed system and method can help the user to differentiate between medicament containers, thereby ensuring that the medical delivery device can only be used with the medicament container for which it is intended. In one arrangement, a given drug delivery device may only be intended for use with a single drug container. Therefore, the proposed system and method can help the user to ensure that only a single designated drug container is used with a designated drug delivery device. However, in other arrangements, a given drug delivery device may be intended for use with multiple drug containers. Therefore, the proposed system and method can help the user to ensure that only intended containers are used with the drug delivery device.

[0058] In addition to allowing the user to identify whether a given ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and system for detecting information related to a drug container. A medical delivery device (100, 200, 400, 500, 700, 1000, 1100, 1300) may include at least one electronic sensor (204, 204a-c, 502, 1002, 1106a-c) and a decoding module (300). The at least one electronic sensor (204, 204a-c, 502, 1002, 1106a-c) and the decoding module (300) are configured to (i) identify the insertion of the medical delivery device (100, 200, 400, 500, 700, 1000, 1100, 1300), coded features (206, 408, 508, 800, 1006, 1010, 1014, 1102) of drug containers (120, 202, 406, 506, 900, 1004, 1104, 1306), and (ii) based on the identified coding features (206, 408, 508, 800, 1006, 1010, 1014, 1102) determining the relationship with the drug container (120, 202, 406, 506, 900, 1004, 1104, 1306) related information.

Description

technical field [0001] Particular embodiments of the invention relate to a method and system for determining information related to a drug container, in particular a drug container containing a medicament. As just one example, such medicament containers may include ampoules, cartridges or bottles and may be used with medical delivery devices. Such exemplary medical delivery devices may include syringes, pen injectors, pumps, or other similar devices that require a container containing at least one medicament. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates generally to containers, particularly containers containing medicaments. More particularly, the present invention relates generally to determining information related to a drug container that can help to ensure that a delivery device can only be used with the drug container for which it is intended. As just one example, such medicament containers may include ampoules, cartridges, bottles, or bags, and may be ...
