Device and method for delivery of two or more drug agents
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- an electro-mechanical drive system operative to expel;
a dose of primary medicament from a primary reservoir containing the primary medicament; and
,a dose of fluid agent from a secondary reservoir containing the fluid agent, where the fluid agent is not the primary medicament;
a dispense assembly in fluid communication with both the primary and secondary reservoirs; and
a control unit operably coupled to the electro-mechanical drive system and configured to first receive information on a dose of the primary medicament,wherein said control unit after receiving the information on the dose of primary medicament determines at least one value of the dose of a fluid agent based at least in part on said dose of said primary medicament and a therapeutic dose profile, where the therapeutic dose profile is predetermined and programmed within the device,wherein the therapeutic dose profile is a non-linear profile of the primary medicament and the fluid agent;
wherein the control unit is configured to activate the electro-mechanical drive system to expel;
the at least one value of a dose of the fluid agent from the secondary reservoir; and
,the said dose of primary medicament from the primary reservoir;
such that the at least one value of the dose of the fluid agent and the dose of primary medicament are both dispensed through the dispense assembly.

Abstract
A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.
