    摘要: A compliance monitoring system is provided for an injection device having an unused state and a used state. The system includes one or more radio frequency tags attached to a surface of the injection device and a portable monitoring accessory that includes a housing, a radio frequency antenna disposed within the housing, a wireless transmitter module disposed within the housing, and a processing circuit disposed within the housing. The processing circuit is configured to receive, via the radio frequency antenna, a first signal from the one or more radio frequency tags via a radio frequency communication protocol. The processing circuit is also configured to transmit, via the wireless transmitter, a second signal to a mobile device via a wireless communication protocol different from the radio frequency communication protocol. Both of the first signal and the second signal include state information of the injection device.

    摘要: An injection system, including an injector having a dispensing mechanism configured to dispense a medicament, and a ready-to-use indicator. The ready-to-use indicator includes a controller configured to interact with the ready-to-use indicator and an audio and/or visual indicator, a temperature sensor, and a temperature analog having similar thermodynamic properties of the medicament. The temperature sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the temperature analog which represents the dynamic temperature of medicament as the medicament is heated or cooled. The temperature sensor is configured to communicate the detected temperature to the controller and to alert the controller when a preset temperature is reached. The ready-to-use indicator is configured to alert a user when the preset temperature is reached, signifying the medicament is thermally ready to be delivered by the dispensing mechanism. The audio and/or visual indicator is configured to display indicate one or more notifications to the user.
