There’s a significant challenge with traditional drug delivery methods, especially with injections, which can sometimes be unreliable. Typically, these methods rely on needles and syringes, but there are new on-body devices that attach to your arm or abdomen. While these improvements offer better dosing, there’s still work to be done to make them completely reliable.

Now, here’s a notable innovation: a patented smart device from Fresenius Kabi Deutschland. This device features a main body and an attachable cartridge with a special circuit that maintains sterility. If the cartridge is attached properly, the circuit stays closed, but if it isn’t fixed correctly or is removed when it shouldn’t be, the circuit breaks. This adds a layer of safety and simplicity.

Tech Marvels Inside:

• The drug chamber can be filled.
• A piston moves the drug where it needs to go.
• An actuation device initiates the process.
• If the piston isn’t positioned correctly when you attach the cartridge, it won’t function, enhancing safety.

This technology is designed to make drug delivery safer, more reliable, and timely. The sterility circuit ensures everything is functioning correctly. When the locking system activates, it sends alerts to healthcare providers or directly to patients through tactile, visual, or audible signals, or even notifications on a connected phone.
