Medication injection site and data collection system
First Claim
1. A medication delivery apparatus for use with a medication container comprising:
- a housing;
a fluid conduit at least partially extending within the housing and configured to deliver medication within the medication container to a patient via a parenteral fluid administration pathway;
a medication port extending from an external surface of the housing and configured to be coupled to a fluid outlet of the medication container, the medication port being fluidically and directly coupled to the fluid conduit; and
at least one first sensor disposed within the housing to generate information characterizing administration of the medication for processing by a remote data collection system;
wherein the housing has a size and shape enabling 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.
