DEVICE WITH CAMERAS FOR MONITORING THE MANUAL ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION
First Claim
1. A device for monitoring the manual administration of medication included in a syringe, comprising:
- a support element provided with a housing for a port access for coupling the syringe, said port access, when arranged in the housing, defining a longitudinal axis corresponding to the coupling direction and a transversal plane perpendicular to said axis and which passes through the port access;
one or more cameras arranged in the support element to encompass in its or their visual fields the cylinder of the syringe when the syringe is coupled to the port access;
said one or more cameras are placed in the vicinity of said plane;
the optical axis of said one or more cameras intersecting said longitudinal axis;
the support element and said one or more cameras does not overlap with the cylinder of the syringe in the direction defined by said longitudinal axis when the syringe is coupled to the port access;
thus allowing a free visual and manual access to the syringe cylinder when the syringe is coupled to the port access.

Abstract
Device for monitoring the administration of medication in a syringe that in one embodiment comprises a support element provided with a housing for a port access for coupling the syringe, said port access, when arranged in the housing, defining a longitudinal axis corresponding to the coupling direction and a transversal plane perpendicular to said axis and which passes through the port access. One or more cameras arranged in the support element that encompass in its/their visual fields the cylinder of the syringe when the syringe is coupled to the port access. The one or more cameras are placed within said plane, the optical axes of the one or more cameras intersecting said longitudinal axis, the support element and the one or more cameras do not overlap with the cylinder of the syringe in the direction defined by said longitudinal axis when the syringe is coupled to the port access.

16. A device for monitoring a manually operated syringe, the syringe comprising a dispensing tip, a syringe barrel with a syringe barrel axis and a syringe plunger, the device comprising:
-
a basis adapted to be connected to a medication administration point of a patient and comprising a syringe insertion port adapted to receive the syringe dispensing tip, the basis being configured such that when the syringe is inserted in the insertion port the syringe barrel is not in direct contact with the basis, and at least part of the syringe barrel projects from the basis in the direction of the barrel axis, and an image acquisition system arranged on the basis and adapted to capture an image of at least part of the syringe plunger when the syringe is inserted in the insertion port.
