The invention relates to: A medication delivery device and a method of making such a device. The object of the present invention is to provide a handy medication delivery device that may be easily adjusted to the different needs of a given user in different situations and to the different needs of different users, and which is economic from a production point of view. The problem is solved in that it comprises a basis module (1) and one or more replaceable modules (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), each of which is adapted to cooperate mechanically and / or electronically with the basis module to provide a specific function, and the basis module includes resources that are jointly used by the replaceable modules. This has the advantage of providing a rational concept for economically supplying high quality, mass-produced devices capable of being customized to individual users' needs for functionality by avoiding the duplication of key components. The invention may be used in injector type, medication pump type, inhaler or spray type devices for delivering a discrete dose or a continuous dose of a medication to a user.

A syringe for use with a powered injector to inject a fluid into a patient that includes a length of material adapted to transmit or propagate electromagnetic energy therethrough. The length of material includes at least a first indicator positioned along the length of material. The first indicator is adapted to interact with at least a portion of the energy being propagated through the length of material in a manner that is detectable. The presence (or absence) of the first indicator provides or corresponds to information about the syringe configuration. The indicator(s) of the present invention can, for example, provide information about syringe configuration by the number and / or position thereof. A plurality or set of such syringes can be provided, with the configuration of each such syringe being represented by the presence or absence of indicator(s) of that syringe.

The invention provides for a transdermal drug delivery device for forming a drug delivery patch system comprising:a) an actuator comprising:i) an outer body defining a top of the actuator, the outer body containing a cavity;ii) a controller board comprising driving electronics and a battery, the controller board being positioned within the cavity; andiii) an interface connection port for receiving a porator array, the interface connection port containing an anode and a cathode;b) the porator array comprising:i) a top surface, with a removable adhesive attached to the top surface, the top surface containing two concentric electrical contact rings for contacting the interface connection port at the anode and the cathode upon removal of the adhesive layer;ii) a bottom surface comprising a tissue interface membrane, the tissue interface membrane further comprising a substrate with at least one porator contained on or within the substrate, the bottom surface further comprising an adhesive layer for attaching the porator array to a tissue membrane; andiii) an extension tab laterally and removably attached to the bottom surface, the extension tab including an adhesive applied on the bottom thereof, thereby allowing the extension tab to remain on the tissue membrane upon removal of the porator array; andiv) a release liner removably attached to the bottom surface; andc) a reservoir patch attached to the extension tab, the reservoir patch being applied to the microporated area of the tissue membrane after poration.The invention also provides for methods of making and methods of using the same.

A jet injector that includes a prefilled syringe. The syringe includes a fluid chamber that contains a medicament. The syringe also has an injection-assisting needle, and a plunger is movable within the fluid chamber. A housing is configured for allowing insertion of the needle to a penetration depth. An energy source is configured for biasing the plunger to produce an injecting pressure in the medicament in the fluid chamber of between about 80 and 1000 p.s.i. to jet inject the medicament from the fluid chamber through the needle to an injection site.
