Abstract
Many of those having diabetes take a combination of slow and fast acting types of insulin. It is important that the different forms of medicament do not become confused and that the patient does not receive the incorrect medicament. In combination a medicament delivery apparatus and a medicament cartridge are provided, the medicament delivery apparatus including at least one switch and the medicament cartridge comprising a cartridge housing within which a medicament is provided, a displaceable piston located internally at one end of the housing and a raised ring of material about an external periphery of the medicament cartridge, the ring of material being of sufficient dimensions, in use, to trip the at least one switch of the medicament delivery apparatus.
Description
- The present invention relates to a medicament cartridge, having particular, but not exclusive application for use with a medication delivery apparatus. The invention provides a medication cartridge that may be dedicated to a particular medication delivery apparatus. A medication delivery apparatus may take the form of, for example, an injector pen or an infuser apparatus.
- It is known that a person providing themselves, or others, with a medicament regimen may require more than one medicament as part of that regimen. For example many of those having diabetes take a combination of slow and fast acting types of insulin. It is important that the different forms of medicament do not become confused and that the patient does not receive the incorrect medicament.
- By providing a cartridge that can be dedicated to a particular form of medicament, this problem may be eliminated or at least substantially reduced. For example, such a cartridge may only be accepted by a certain medication delivery apparatus or might not permit the proper functioning of certain medication delivery apparatus.
- According to the present invention, in combination a medicament delivery apparatus and a medicament cartridge are provided, the medicament delivery apparatus including at least one switch and the medicament cartridge comprising a cartridge housing within which a medicament is provided, a displaceable piston located internally at one end of the housing and a raised ring of material about an external periphery of the medicament cartridge, the ring of material being of sufficient dimensions, in use, to trip the at least one switch of the medicament delivery apparatus.
- Preferably a location of the raised ring of material along a longitudinal axis of the cartridge housing provides an indication of the medicament contained within the medicament cartridge.
- Preferably the raised ring of material may be colour coded to provide an indication of the medicament contained within the medicament cartridge.
- Preferably the raised ring of material is defined by a first inner surface that conforms to a peripheral surface of the cartridge and a second outer surface. More preferably, the second outer surface provides a smooth rounded surface. Advantageously, a shape of the outer surface of the raised ring of material provides an indication of the medicament contained within the medicament cartridge.
- Preferably the medication delivery apparatus further comprises a display, the processor causing the display to show information relating to the medicament cartridge within the medication delivery apparatus.
- Preferably unless the at least one switch is tripped the medication delivery apparatus will not function.
- The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- FIG. 1 shows a medicament cartridge in accordance with the first aspect of the invention;
- FIG. 2 shows schematically a part of a first medication delivery apparatus for use with a medicament cartridge in accordance with the first aspect of the invention; and
- FIG. 3 shows schematically a part of a second medication delivery apparatus for use with a medicament cartridge in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
- Referred to FIG. 1, there may be seen a
medicament cartridge 2 in accordance with the present invention. - The medicament cartridge comprises a
cartridge housing 4 having an open neck at a first end. The open neck is provided with an external flange. A flexible fluid impermeable membrane 6 is sealingly secured across the neck by acap 8 secured against the flange. Themetal cap 8 has a central opening through which the membrane 6 is exposed. In use, a needle of a needle unit penetrates the membrane 6. - The medicament is contained within a chamber defined by the
cartridge housing 4, the flexible membrane 6 at the first end of the cartridge housing and a displaceable piston 14 (shown in ghost) located at a second end of thecartridge housing 4. Movement of thepiston 14 towards the first end of thecartridge housing 4 causes the medicament to be dispensed through the needle unit. - The medicament cartridge of the present invention is additionally provided with a raised
ring 10 of material about an external periphery of thecartridge housing 4. The raisedring 10 of material may be formed of any suitable material by any suitable method. - In the illustrated embodiment, the raised
ring 10 of material is defined by a first inner surface that conforms to a peripheral surface of thecartridge housing 4 and a secondouter surface 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the raisedring 10 is of generally rectangular section. The secondouter surface 12 is shown as a smooth rounded surface. The raisedring 10 may be formed as a moulding of a plastics material about thecartridge housing 4. This may occur prior to filling or loading of the medicament cartridge with medicament. In such a case the location of the raisedring 10 may be used during the filling or loading operation to ensure that the medicament cartridge receives the correct medicament. - Since location of the
ring 10 is determined during manufacture, and as such is a highly repeatable operation, the location of the raisedring 10 may be used as an indication of the medicament contained within the medicament cartridge. - Thus, a medicament delivery apparatus (FIG. 2) may be provided with
processor 22 and aswitch 20. When theswitch 20 is tripped this allows the medicament delivery apparatus to function. If theswitch 20 is not tripped, either because there is no raisedring 10 present, or is present at an incorrect location along a longitudinal axis of the medicament cartridge inserted, such a medicament delivery apparatus will not operate. - Alternatively, a medication delivery apparatus may comprise a
processor 34 and a plurality ofswitches 30,32, tripping of a particular switch indicating the presence of a medicament cartridge containing a particular medicament within the medication delivery apparatus. The medication delivery apparatus may further comprise adisplay 36, theprocessor 34 causing the display to show information relating to the medicament cartridge within the medication delivery apparatus, for example whether the medicament is a fast acting or slow acting form of medicament. This has the advantage that it provides a user with an additional opportunity to check that the correct medicament is to be dispensed. Optionally, theprocessor 34 may actuate adrive mechanism 38 to express medicament from thecartridge 2. - It will be understood that quite small differences in location may be enough to enable a medication delivery apparatus to distinguish between medicament cartridges having different contents. However, such differences may not be readily apparent to all users of the cartridges, for example those with impaired vision. For this reason, the raised
ring 10 may also be formed of a material of a particular colour to indicate a particular medicament within a medicament cartridge. Alternatively, or additionally, the raised 10 may also be formed in a particular shape to indicate a particular medicament within a medicament cartridge. This may be of particular advantage to those having more seriously impaired vision.
