Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to filling of delivery devices for delivering substances such as drugs, vaccines and the like, and more specifically relates to a drug delivery system and device having a needle which has a relatively short protrusion length. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for filling an intradermal delivery device using a needle sized for intradermal delivery to fill the syringe.
- Intradermal injections are used for delivering a variety of substances. Many of these substances have proven to be more effectively absorbed into or react with the immune response system of the body when injected intradermally. Recently, clinical trials have shown that hepatitis B vaccines administered intradermally are more immunogenic if administered intramuscularly. In addition, substances have been injected intradermally for diagnostic testing, such as, for example using what is known in the art as the “Mantoux test” to determine the immunity status of the animal against tuberculosis and the immediate hypersensitivity status of Type I allergic diseases.
- diagnostic testing such as, for example using what is known in the art as the “Mantoux test” to determine the immunity status of the animal against tuberculosis and the immediate hypersensitivity status of Type I allergic diseases.
- An intradermal injection is made by delivering the substance into the epidermis and upper layers of the dermis.
- Below the dermis layer is subcutaneous tissue (also sometimes referred to as the hypodermis layer) and muscle tissue, in that order.
- subcutaneous tissue also sometimes referred to as the hypodermis layer
- muscle tissue in that order.
- the skin thickness There is considerable variation in the skin thickness both between individuals and within the same individual at different sites of the body.
- the outer skin layer, epidermis has a thickness between 50-200 microns
- the dermis, the inner and thicker layer of the skin has a thickness between 1.5-3.5 mm.
- a needle cannula that penetrates the skin deeper than about 3.0 mm has a potential of passing through the dermis layer of the skin and making the injection into the subcutaneous region, which may result in an insufficient immune response, especially where the substance to be delivered intradermally has not been indicated for subcutaneous injection.
- the standard procedure for making an intradermal injection via the Mantoux technique is known to be difficult to perform, and therefore dependent upon experience and technique of the healthcare worker.
- This procedure is recommended to be performed by accessing the vial with the needle and aspirating the medication into the syringe, stretching the skin, orienting the bevel of short bevel needle cannula (in one embodiment, a 26G ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2′′) upwardly and inserting the needle cannula to deliver a volume of 0.5 ml or less of the substance into the skin of an animal with the needle cannula being inserted into the skin at an angle varying from around 10-15 degrees relative to the plane of the skin to form a blister or wheal in which the substance is deposited or otherwise contained.
- FIG. 2 of US Published Application No. 2005-0203459 A1 to Alchas shows a conventional syringe being filled from a multi-dose vial, which demonstrates that the length of the needle must be sufficient to fully penetrate the septum of a vial in order to aspirate the medication. Inserting the needle to a depth greater than about 3.0 mm may results in a failed intradermal injection, as the substance being expelled through the cannula will be injected into the subcutaneous tissue of the animal.
- the standard method is not suitable for self-administration of intradermal injections.
- this method does have the advantage of being able to use the same needle for penetrating the vial and filling as is used for performing the injection, allowing the practitioner to select a fixed needle, which reduces dead space.
- the delivery device is normally filled from a multi-dose vial.
- a multi-dose vial may be more economical and it enables the user to fill the delivery device with the specific dose required.
- the multi-dose vial may be pre-filled with a liquid substance or with a dry substance.
- Multi-dose vials may be sealed with an elastomeric stopper or septum of thickness exceeding 3 mm.
- vial septums are coated with hard materials like PTFE (e.g. Teflon® PTFE) which could damage the filling needle upon penetration.
- a needle on the delivery device may be used to pierce the stopper or septum and draw the drug substance from the vial into the delivery device, typically a syringe. The drug substance may then be administered using the delivery device, which is discarded after use, and the unit-dose vial may be stored for further use.
- PTFE Teflon® PTFE
- Vial adapters to aid in penetration of vials have been proposed in the past.
- Various designs have been proposed in the past to align the vial to the syringe.
- One example of such a device is related in U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,406 to Shraga.
- the design of this adapter is such that it provides guidance of the needle to the vial.
- the vial adapter of '406 requires the use of a needle of sufficient length to penetrate the septum of the vial.
- Another such example of a vial adapter is related in U.S. Pat. No. 4,944,736 Holtz.
- the design of this adapter is such that it provides guidance of the needle to the vial.
- the vial adapter of '736 requires the use of a needle of sufficient length to penetrate the septum of the vial.
- a delivery device should include a mechanism that is capable of enclosing a needle cannula immediately subsequent to administering the injection. If a needle is left uncovered for even a short period of time after administering an injection, such as, for example, while trying to reattach a needle cap, a biohazard exists. Therefore, it may be desirable to provide an intradermal delivery device with a means for enclosing the needle cannula that is simply designed, easy to use, and readily available immediately after administering an injection.
- an intradermal injection device with a reservoir within which a drug substance may be held is able to be filled from a vial having a thick septum through the short needle by utilizing the device and method of one aspect of the invention.
- the needle assembly of the device to be filled is specifically designed for making intradermal injections; however the devices and methods of the invention may be useful in any situation where the septum or vial stopper of a medication container is thicker than the usable length of the needle on the delivery device.
- the needle assembly in accordance with one embodiment, includes a penetration limiter which permits a certain predetermined length of the needle cannula to protrude beyond the limiter a distance which limits penetration of the needle tip into the intradermal space of the patient's skin.
- the needle tip extends beyond the skin engaging surface a distance ranging from approximately 0.5 mm to 3 mm.
- the needle assembly may be secured to the syringe via a hub portion, which may be integrally formed in the syringe body or the hub portion may be separate and detachably secured by a Luer fit or equivalent attachment method.
- a Luer fit or equivalent attachment method As may be appreciated from FIG. 3 , it is not possible, using a device having a stationary limiter at the short lengths required for intradermal injection, to fill a reservoir from a conventional vial having a septum of a thickness greater than the protrusion of the needle. The distance the needle protrudes from the limiter is too short to adequately penetrate the depth of the septum and access the substance contained in the vial.
- aspects of the present invention allow for access to a substance contained in a conventional vial by an intradermal needle device or assembly.
- standard methods for preserving the therapeutic and/or diagnostic substances such as maintaining them in liquid or powder form in conventional vials for future use, may be used with the system of the present invention.
- intradermal filling devices having aspects of the present invention it is possible to use conventional, inexpensive delivery devices such as fixed needle plastic syringes, in conjunction with the intradermal devices, which reduces dead-space and are often not appropriate for use as fill at time of use devices.
- aspects of the present invention also support the vial such that it does not need to be supported by the free hand during the drawing of medicament. Additionally, aspects of the invention are directed to providing systems and devices for guidance and/or retention of the syringe to the vial adapter. These same systems may optionally form components of a safety needle shielding system.
- aspects of the present invention provide a fluid transfer system for use in transferring a medical substance from a medication container having a septum with a pre-determined thickness into a delivery device.
- the delivery device has a reservoir adapted for storing a medical substance and a needle cannula attached to the delivery device with a lumen in fluid communication to the reservoir.
- the needle has a forward tip extending away from the delivery device a pre-selected usable length, wherein the usable length is less than a thickness of a septum of the medication container.
- the system utilizes an adapter body which includes a container receiving portion with a septum access needle, and a longitudinal projection extending from the adapter body.
- the projection includes an adapter septum having a thickness less than the usable length of the needle cannula.
- the system further comprises a shield which is slidably disposed upon the delivery device.
- the shield has at least a two positions, a first position exposing the forward tip of the needle cannula and a second position concealing the forward tip of the needle cannula.
- the system further comprises a shield which includes at least one slot wherein the slot cooperates with a corresponding feature on the vial adapter protrusion.
- the vial adapter protrusion includes at least one locking finger or tang received by the slot in the shield.
- the locking features are disposed in a helical pattern.
- the shield is slidably disposed upon the delivery device having at least a first position and a second position, the first position concealing said forward tip of said needle cannula and the second position exposing said forward tip of said needle cannula.
- a locking clip is used which is slidably disposed between the shield and the delivery device. The clip itself has at least two positions. A first position of the clip allows proximal movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device.
- the second position of the clip prevents proximal movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device.
- movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device engages the clip and moves the clip into a second position of the clip, thereby preventing proximal movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device.
- a method of intradermally injecting a substance including the steps of providing a vial adapter for use with a vial having a septum with a pre-selected thickness, and providing an intradermal injection device having a predetermined usable length of needle, inserting the vial into the vial adapter, inserting the intradermal device into the vial adapter, filling the intradermal device, removing the intradermal device from the vial adapter, and pressing the intradermal device to the patient's skin such that the skin engaging surface of the limiter encounters the skin and prevents penetration of the needle cannula deeper than about 3 mm; and injecting the substance under conditions and for a time sufficient to deliver the substance into the dermis layer of the skin.
- a delivery device having a reservoir within adapted for storing a medical substance.
- the device includes a needle cannula attached to the delivery device having a lumen in fluid communication to the reservoir and having a forward tip extending away from the delivery device a pre-selected usable length.
- the device also includes a shield which is slidably disposed upon the delivery device having at least a first position and a second position. The shield's first position conceals the forward tip of the needle cannula and the second position exposing the forward tip of the needle cannula.
- the device also includes a locking clip which is slidably disposed between the shield bore and the delivery device.
- the clip has at least a first position and a second position, the clip's first position allows proximal movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device and the clip's second position prevents proximal movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device.
- a first proximal movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device into the shield's second position engages the locking clip and moves the locking clip into the second position of the locking clip, thereby preventing subsequent proximal movement of the shield with respect to the delivery device.
- the shield includes at least one slot wherein the slot cooperates on a corresponding feature on a medication vial protrusion, wherein the cooperation allows removable attachment of the delivery device to the container.

- needle assembly 2 is assembled to syringe body 16 and preferably permanently assembled to syringe body 16 , however a detachable assembly via a fitting as described previously is possible with this embodiment.
- Device 2 includes shield 30 which engages tang 51 on adapter 50 . Shield 30 in position shown in FIG. 17 cooperating with tang 51 and tang catch 21 (disposed on shield 30 in this embodiment) allow for positive connection of the two components (Device 1 and adapter 50 ).
- tang catch 21 is shown shaped in a bayonet-type connection arrangement with tang 51 , however, other types of connections such as detented or threaded could be used in this application, as described previously.
- septum 60 is disposed in a proximal portion of protrusion 54 of adapter 50 . Furthermore, septum 60 is held in place by septum retainer 64 , which holds septum 60 onto adapter 50 . Alternatively, septum 60 may be adhesively attached, or heat sealed onto or integrally formed into adapter 50 .
- septum retainer 64 which holds septum 60 onto adapter 50 .
- septum 60 may be adhesively attached, or heat sealed onto or integrally formed into adapter 50 .
- One advantage of having a proximally located septum is the ability to wipe the septum prior to penetration to disinfect the septum prior to use. Alternatively, the septum may be located distally on protrusion 54 .
- Shield 30 in this embodiment is a re-extendable shield, which locks in the extended position after use, preventing contact with the needle by use of shield clip 43 .
- shield 30 is first presented in the extended condition which allows easy connection of device 2 to adapter 50 .
- Shield 30 is slidably engaged in the syringe barrel by the engagement of the shield bore 31 with barrel stop 46 and barrel guide 17 on syringe body 16 .
- Forward stop 44 of shield 30 cooperates with barrel stop 46 to limit the distal travel of shield 30 .
- Shield 30 is normally retained in a distal position by Forward stop 44 and barrel stop 46 along with shield clip 43 , as shown in FIG. 17 , which allows needle 4 to proximally located access septum 60 on protrusion 54 of adapter 50 .
- Shield clip 43 is in a proximal position, which allows proximal movement of the shield with respect to the barrel. After filling, shield 30 is moved distally to expose needle 4 for an injection into a patient as described in detail above. The position of Shield 30 is now as is shown in FIG. 19 . As shield 30 is moved distally, shield clip 43 is held in place with respect to syringe body 16 , thus is in second position with respect to shield 30 . After use, shield 30 is moved distally with respect to syringe body 16 and shield clip 43 engages barrel detent 29 to lock shield 30 in a distal position as shown in FIG. 20 .
