Medication Injection Site and Data Collection System
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a housing having a medication port configured to be fluidically coupled to a fluid outlet of a manually administrable medication container comprising medication for administration to a patient;
a first identification sensor disposed within the housing to generate identification information indicative of contents of the medication container when the fluid outlet of the medication container is fluidically coupled or is being fluidically coupled to the medication port;
a second sensor disposed within the housing to detect information from a source other than the medication container that is associated with the administration of the contents of the medication container; and
a transmitter disposed within the housing and in communication with the first identification sensor and the second sensor to transmit the information generated by the first identification sensor and the second sensor to a remote data collection system.

Abstract
A medication delivery apparatus for use with a medication container includes a housing, a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the housing and configured to deliver medication within the medication container to a patient, a medication port extending from the housing and configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically coupled to the fluid conduit, and at least one sensor disposed within the housing to generate information characterizing administration of the medication for processing by a remote data collection system. The housing can have a size and shape that enables it to be supported by a first hand of a user while the user administers the medication from the medication container via the medication port using a second hand of the user. Related apparatus, systems, and techniques are also described.

19. A system comprising:
-
a housing having a medication port configured to be fluidically coupled to a fluid outlet of a manually administrable medication container having identification information on one or more of a first portion and a second portion and comprising medication for administration to a patient; a first sensor disposed within the housing to generate data derived from the identification information on a first portion of a medication container coupled to the medication port; a second sensor disposed within the housing to generate data derived from the identification information on a second portion of the medication container coupled to the medication port; and a transmitter disposed within the housing and in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor to transmit data generated by the first sensor and the second sensor to a remote data collection system. - View Dependent Claims (20)
