It is important to be able to distinguish readily between medicament cartridges containing different medicaments. The present invention enables more ready distinction as between medicament cartridges containing different medicaments. An adaptor top for a medicament cartridge, the medicament cartridge comprising a cylinder having a main body portion, a neck portion at a first end having a radially outwardly directed flange portion, a narrowing shoulder portion connecting the body portion and the neck portion, a cap beaded across the first end thereby to retain a fluid impermeable membrane, and the adaptor top comprising a first cylindrical body portion having a radially inwardly directed flange at one end, in use to be seated over and against the cap and a second cylindrical skirt portion being adapted, in use, to be seated against the shoulder portion of the cartridge, the second skirt portion including a plurality of fingers, the free ends of the fingers in use being adapted to be seated beneath the outwardly directed flange of the medicament cartridge.
Description
- This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 10/308,148 filed Dec. 3, 2002. The disclosure of the prior application is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to a improved medicament cartridge assembly and, in particular, but not exclusively, to a medicament cartridge assembly for use with a medication delivery apparatus such as an injection pen or an infuser.
- Such medication delivery apparatus are conveniently used to provide a means for administration of a medicament to a patient without medical supervision, for example, by self administration or administration by a carer.
- Medicament cartridges are produced in large volumes to take advantage of economies of scale. The medicament cartridges will then be filled with an appropriate medicament, such as insulin or a human growth hormone.
- However, it is often the case that a patient will require more than one form of medicament. A person having diabetes will often be required to take both slow acting and fast acting forms of insulin. It is important that a user of the medicament delivery apparatus is able to distinguish readily between medicament cartridges containing different medicaments.
- It is an advantage of the present invention that it enables the user to distinguish readily between medicament cartridges containing different medicaments. It is a further advantage that the present invention makes use of known medicament cartridges, thereby enabling economies of scale to be maintained.
- According to the first aspect of the present invention there is provided an adaptor top for a medicament cartridge, the medicament cartridge comprising a cylinder having a main body portion, a neck portion at a first end having a radially outwardly directed flange portion, a narrowing shoulder portion connecting the body portion and the neck portion, a cap beaded across the first end thereby to retain a fluid impermeable membrane, the adaptor top comprising a first cylindrical body portion having a radially inwardly directed flange at one end, in use to be seated over and against the cap and a second cylindrical skirt portion being adapted, in use, to be seated against the shoulder portion of the cartridge, the second skirt portion including a plurality of fingers, the free ends of the fingers in use being adapted to be seated beneath the outwardly directed flange of the medicament cartridge.
- According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method of assembling a medicament cartridge and an adaptor top,
- the medicament cartridge comprising a cylinder having a bottleneck at a first end, a fluid impermeable membrane secured across the first end by a cap and a displaceable plunger located internally of the cylinder towards the second end of the cylinder, and the adaptor top comprising a first cylindrical portion having at a first end an inwardly directing flange and a second cylindrical portion depending from a second end of the first cylindrical portion, the second cylindrical skirt portion including a number of deformable members, comprising the steps of
- inserting the cap of the medicament cartridge through the second cylindrical portion into the first cylindrical portion until the cap is positioned against the inwardly directed flange;
- plastically deforming the deformable members beneath the cap to retain the adaptor top in position against the medicament cartridge.
- The adaptor top may conveniently be provided with information regarding the content of the medicament cartridge. Preferably, the adaptor top is colour coded to provide information regarding the content of the medicament cartridge.
- The present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 shows a part-cut-away section through a known medicament cartridge, -
FIG. 2 shows a section through a medicament cartridge assembly in accordance with the present invention, and -
FIG. 3 shows a side view of the assembly ofFIG. 2 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 there may be seen a known cartridge for use with the present invention. Themedicament cartridge 2 comprises a cylinder 4 having a main body portion. Aneck portion 6 is provided at first end of the body portion. Theneck portion 6 includes a radially outwardly directedflange portion 8. A narrowingshoulder portion 10 connects the body portion and theneck portion 6. Acap 12 is provided beaded across the first end of the cylinder 4 thereby to retain a fluidimpermeable membrane 14 across an open end of theneck portion 6. - A
piston 16 is provided within the cylinder 4. In use, a needle unit (not shown) pierces the fluidimpermeable membrane 14 such that movement of thepiston 16 towards the first end of the body portion causes the contents of the medicament cartridge to be expelled through the needle unit. The cylinder 4 may additionally be provided with alabel 18 providing information about themedicament cartridge 2 and the contents of themedicament cartridge 2. - Referring now to
FIGS. 2 and 3 anadaptor top 20 for a medicament cartridge is shown. Theadaptor top 20 comprises a firstcylindrical body portion 22 and asecond skirt portion 24. The firstcylindrical body portion 22 has a radially inwardly directedflange 26 at one end. In use the radially inwardly directed flange is seated over and against thecap 12 and thesecond skirt portion 24 is seated against theshoulder portion 10 of thecartridge 2. - The first
cylindrical body portion 22 is conveniently formed with engagement means. In the embodiment ofFIG. 3 the engagement means takes the form of a screw thread 23 formed integrally with the firstcylindrical body portion 22. In use, the engagement means enables an assembly comprising themedicament cartridge 2 andadaptor top 20 to be received and secured within a medicament delivery apparatus such as an infusion or injection device from which the contents of themedicament cartridge 2 may be dispensed. - The
second skirt portion 24 includes a plurality of deformable members orfingers 28. Thefingers 28 are formed at a first end integrally with theadaptor top 20. Thefingers 28 are plastically deformable. - In order to assemble the
adaptor top 20 with themedicament cartridge 2, thecap 12 of themedicament cartridge 2 is inserted through thesecond skirt portion 24 into the firstcylindrical portion 22 until thecap 12 is in contact with the inwardly directedflange 26. Thefingers 28 are then plastically deformed such that free ends of thefingers 28 are located beneath thecap 12 thereby to retain theadaptor top 20 in position in relation to themedicament cartridge 2. Since the free ends of thefingers 28 are now located beneath thecap 12 between thecap 12 and theshoulder portion 10 of thecartridge 2, it is difficult for a user or other third party to remove theadaptor top 20 from themedicament cartridge 2 without damaging thefingers 28. In this way, theadaptor top 20 and the associatedmedicament cartridge 2 provide a tamper evident assembly.
