摘要： Apparatuses and methods are described for administering a needle-less injection of a degassed fluid. Prior to filling, or after filling but prior to administration of a needle-less injection, gas is removed from the fluid to create a degassed fluid. A needle-less injection may then be performed with a reduced risk of discomfort to the recipient of the injection and with lower potential for the creation of a subdermal hematoma as a result of the injection. A wide variety of needle-less injectors may be used in accordance with various embodiments of the present invention.

摘要： An apparatus for administering a vaccine or other pharmaceutical includes a group of lancets that are exposed by the device to administer the injection. The group of lancets is housed within the device prior to actuation, and is recoiled into the device following the injection. The device may be actuated by depressing a trigger, and may include non-slip finger rests for ease of use. The device may additionally be prepackaged with the vaccine or other injectate. The device is a safe and convenient tool for administering vaccines and other pharmaceutical products; particularly those that require multiple, shallow skin piercings to effect proper delivery. The device of the present invention is particularly advantageous in the administration of a Smallpox vaccine. It is also designed for ease of manufacturing, as it may be assembled through an inline manufacturing process.

摘要： A device for storing and mixing an injectate includes a fluid holder removably coupled to an ampoule. The fluid holder initially contains a fluid and the ampoule initially contains a dry reagent. A breakable membrane may be included between the fluid holder and ampoule to prevent the undesirable mixing of the fluid with the dry reagent. Upon application of force to a plunger rod disposed within the fluid holder, fluid is introduced into the ampoule wherein it is mixed with the dry reagent to create an injectable mixture. Air or gas present in the ampoule may be removed therefrom; the fluid holder may be decoupled from the ampoule; and the ampoule may be further coupled to a needle-less injector for administration of an injection of the mixture. The device is particularly useful for lyophilized pharmaceuticals that rapidly lose medicinal efficacy once in solution form.

摘要： A needle-less injector suitable for injecting fluid through a surface includes a housing, a driver, an engine and a trigger. The housing contains a fluid and the engine contains a compressed gas. Upon application of sufficient force to the trigger, the compressed gas is released from the engine forcing the driver through the interior of the housing, expelling the liquid from the housing at a speed sufficient to pierce an injection surface. In one embodiment, the needle-less injector includes a mechanism for mitigating the kickback associated with releasing compressed gas from the engine. In another embodiment, the housing includes finger rests that provide stability and resistance to activate the device. In another embodiment, the engine is fitted with a reusable valve. In another embodiment, a safety clamp is included on the housing, preventing accidental activation of the device.

摘要： An engine with a valve suitable for containing compressed gas and expelling the same upon opening of the valve is provided. Upon application of sufficient force to an element of the valve, the compressed gas is released from the engine. In one embodiment, the engine is fitted with a reusable valve. In another embodiment, the engine includes an engine housing with a pop-out feature that indicates if the engine is critically overcharged. A method of implementing quality control schemes during the manufacture or production of the engine and its component parts is provided, as well as a method of filling the engine with a compressed gas.

摘要： Devices and methods are described for filling or refilling a needle-less injector. A coupling device is attached to a vessel, and mated to the dispensing end of a needle-less injector. A volume of fluid may be transferred via the coupling device, from the vessel to the injector. Air may be removed from the injector prior to the injector, vessel, and coupling device being separated from one another. In alternate embodiments, the vessel may include filling equipment capable of filling or refilling multiple needle-less injectors simultaneously, in series, or both. In other embodiments, a coupling device may be used to withdraw a fluid from a storage vial into a vessel for filling a needle-less injector. A storage vial may alternately contain a product, and a fluid may be introduced therein via a coupling device to create a mixture, which may be subsequently withdrawn into a vessel for filling a needle-less injector.
