US Patent:

20170035965, Feb 9, 2017
Filed:

Oct 18, 2016
Appl. No.:

15/296773
Inventors:

- Franklin Lakes NJ, US
Elaine McVey - Durham NC, US
Frances Tong - Chapel Hill NC, US
Ronald J. Pettis - Cary NC, US
Joshua Herr - Cary NC, US
Richard J. Klug - Roxboro NC, US

Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ
International Classification:

A61M 5/168
A61M 5/142
Abstract:

A medical fluid communication system is disclosed comprising a pump controller and a fluid detector. The fluid detector detects characteristics of the fluid and provides fluid measurements to the pump controller, which detects if the fluid is flowing in the medication delivery system. In the event fluid is not flowing due to an occlusion, the pump controller may attempt to resolve the occlusion or may provide a warning to a user that an occlusion is occurring.

US Patent:

20160193427, Jul 7, 2016
Filed:

Dec 24, 2013
Appl. No.:

14/655712
Inventors:

- Franklin Lakes NJ, US
Yvonne Yan WANG - Shanghai, CN
Joshua HERR - Cary NC, US
Abhijitsinh S. RAJ - Morris Plains NJ, US
James BATES - Sparta NJ, US
Robert BANIK - Edgewater NJ, US
Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ
International Classification:

A61M 5/32
A61M 5/00
Abstract:

Pen needle packaging concepts provide sterile packaging which can be made with fewer small parts and which can be opened with one hand, streamlining the process of installing the pen needle on the medication pen. In some instances, the packaging operates as a sharps container to store the pen needle after use.

US Patent:

20150328412, Nov 19, 2015
Filed:

Dec 20, 2013
Appl. No.:

14/655710
Inventors:

- Franklin Lakes NJ, US
Robert Banik - Edgewater NJ, US
Abhijitsinh S. Raj - Morris Plains NJ, US
Joshua Herr - Cary NC, US
Joseph Brizzolara - Vermilion OH, US
Amit Limaye - Wayne NJ, US
Assignee:

BECTON, DICKINSON AND COMPANY - Franklin Lakes NJ
International Classification:

A61M 5/34
A61M 5/32
A61M 5/46
A61M 5/00
Abstract:

A pen needle is provided with a plastic non-patient end. Since the non-patient end needle does not contact the patient, the needle can be formed with a larger diameter, permitting more secure attachment to a medication pen and greater medication flow from the cartridge through the cannula. In addition, a two-part hub construction comprising a needle bearing sub assembly and an adapter for attachment to the pen body may be used to lower materials volume and costs, and reduce sharps disposal. In embodiments, a hub according to the invention may be provided with a shield that provides an audible and/or tactile indication when full penetration depth of the needle is achieved. Windows on the shield may reveal a color band on the hub at the full-penetration depth position to provide the user with a visual indication that the pen needle has been used.
