Definitions
- the present invention relates to a medicament delivery system comprising a cartridge and reusable injector device.
- the piston rod is biased towards the injection site to dispense the medicament.
- the needle is covered by a needle shield and/or needle cover and the medicament delivery device is dispensed of.
- a reusable injector device for use with a cartridge containing a pre-filled syringe, the device comprising: a housing; a needle cover shuttle displaceable within the housing against a needle cover shuttle spring; a cassette shuttle displaceable within the housing against a cassette shuttle spring; and a plunger rod configured to dispense medicament from the pre-filed syringe in use; wherein the reusable injector device is configured so that, when a cartridge for use with the device is connected thereto, the needle cover shuttle is displaceable against the needle cover shuttle spring between a primed position and a dose delivery position, distal of the primed position; and wherein the cassette shuttle is configured to advance in a proximal direction only after the needle cover shuttle has been displaced into the dose delivery position.
- Insertion of a cartridge into the housing may distally displace the needle cover shuttle into the primed position, charging the needle cover shuttle spring.
- the needle cover shuttle may comprise a track in its outer surface that engages a pin extending from the inner surface of the housing, so that movement of the needle cover shuttle along the longitudinal axis of the device causes the pin to traverse the track; and wherein the track comprises ramped portions configured to rotate the needle cover shuttle to cause the needle cover shuttle to lock to and unlock from a cartridge inserted into the device as the needle cover shuttle moves between different positions.
- the track may comprise a first distal terminus which, when the pin abuts the first distal terminus, defines the primed position of the needle cover shuttle, and a second distal terminus which, when the pin abuts the second distal terminus, defines a post delivery position of the needle cover shuttle.
- the device may be provided with an activation button pressable into the housing to begin an injection when a cartridge for use with the device is inserted into the device and the needle cover is in the dose delivery position; and wherein, when the needle cover is in the primed position, the needle cover blocks the activation button being pressed into the housing
- the activation button is configured to hold the cassette shuttle against the cassette shuttle spring, and wherein pressing the activation button into the housing releases the cassette shuttle so that the cassette shuttle is advanced in a proximal direction by the cassette shuttle spring.
- a cartridge for use with a reusable injector device comprising: a pre-filed syringe comprising a needle; a cassette partially housing the pre-filled syringe so that the needle extends from a proximal end of the cassette; and a needle cover extending over the proximal end of the cassette to surround the needle.
- the cassette may comprises a clip configured to releasably engage a reusable injector device for use with the cartridge.
- the cartridge may comprise a cap, and wherein the cap comprises a clip having a blocking element that extends through a window of the needle cover and a window of the cassette to prevent relative axial movement of the needle cover, the cassette and the cap.
- the needle cover may comprise a needle cover pin engageable with the window of the cassette to lock the needle cover in a needle shielding position following removal of the cap.
- a medicament delivery system in which components of the system are reusable, reducing waste. Furthermore, the invention provides a two step injection process for increased safety in which the needle cover must first be displaced before the needle is advanced.
- the cartridge may be connected to the device by insertion of a distal end of the cartridge into an opening in the proximal end of the housing.
- a distal end of the needle cover may engage a proximal end of the needle cover shuttle, displacing the needle cover shuttle in a distal direction and charging the needle cover shuttle spring.
- the cassette may comprise a clip configured to releasably engage the cassette shuttle when the cartridge and device are combined. As the clip is configured to be releasable, the cartridge may still be removed from the device after combination of the cartridge and the device. This may be useful if the wrong cartridge has been selected.
- the needle cover may be displaced into the dose delivery position by pressing a proximal end of the needle cover against an injection site until the proximal end of the needle cover and proximal end of the housing are flush.
- the cartridge may comprises a cap, wherein the cap comprises a clip having a blocking element that extends through a window of the needle cover and a window of the cassette to prevent relative axial movement of the needle cover, the cassette and the cap.
- the cartridge is provided in a safe and stable state prior to removal of the cap.
- the housing may comprise a circumferential ramp depending from its inner surface that is configured to engage the clip of the cap when the cartridge and the device are combined, the clip and the ramp being configured to cooperate so that, on rotation of the cap about a longitudinal axis of the device, the clip is lifted by the ramp to remove the blocking element from the windows in the cassette and needle cover, allowing removal of the cap.
- the needle cover may advanced in a proximal direction to the primed position by the needle cover shuttle spring.
- the needle cover shuttle spring may be configured to proximally advance the needle cover into a post delivery position, proximal of the primed position, to conceal the needle.
- the needle cover shuttle may comprises a track in its outer surface that engages a pin extending from the inner surface of the housing, so that movement of the needle cover shuttle along the longitudinal axis of the device causes the pin to traverse the track; and wherein the track comprises ramped portions configured to rotate the needle cover shuttle to cause the needle cover shuttle to lock to and unlock from the needle cover as the needle cover shuttle moves between different positions.
- Proximal movement of the needle cover from the dose delivery position to the post delivery position may cause the pin to traverse the other ramped portion of the track to cause the needle cover shuttle to unlock from the needle cover.

L'invention concerne un système d'administration de médicament (10) comprenant un dispositif injecteur réutilisable (100) et une cartouche (200) destinée à être utilisée avec le dispositif injecteur réutilisable. La cartouche et le dispositif peuvent être combinés pour l'administration de médicament et peuvent être séparés par la suite. La cartouche comprend : une seringue pré-remplie (230) comprenant une aiguille (233) ; une cassette (210) logeant partiellement la seringue pré-remplie de sorte que l'aiguille s'étende à partir d'une extrémité proximale de la cassette ; et un couvercle d'aiguille (240) s'étendant sur l'extrémité proximale de la cassette pour entourer l'aiguille. Le dispositif injecteur réutilisable comprend : un boîtier (110) ; une navette de couvercle d'aiguille (120) déplaçable à l'intérieur du boîtier contre un ressort navette de couvercle d'aiguille (120s) ; une navette de cassette (150) déplaçable à l'intérieur du boîtier contre un ressort de navette de cassette (150s) ; et une tige de piston (170) configurée pour distribuer un médicament à partir de la seringue pré-remplie lors de l'utilisation. Lorsque la cartouche et le dispositif injecteur réutilisable sont combinés, le couvercle d'aiguille vient en prise avec la navette de couvercle d'aiguille et la cassette vient en prise avec la navette de cassette. L'aiguille peut être déplacée contre le ressort de navette de couvercle d'aiguille entre une position amorcée, dans laquelle le couvercle d'aiguille s'étend à partir d'une extrémité proximale du boîtier, et une position de distribution de dose, distale par rapport à la position amorcée. La navette de cassette est configurée pour faire avancer la cassette dans une direction proximale de sorte que l'aiguille s'étende à partir d'une extrémité proximale du couvercle d'aiguille uniquement après que le couvercle d'aiguille a été déplacé dans la position de distribution de dose.
