Abstract

A reporting syringe, including a barrel in fluid communication with a needle connected with a first end of the barrel, a piston including a plunger, the piston positioned within a second end of the barrel and the plunger having a fluid-tight interaction with an interior of the barrel, and a microprocessor in electronic communication with a switch and a wireless module, the microprocessor configured to send an administration completion data from the wireless module after triggering the switch.

Claims (35)

1 . A reporting syringe, comprising:

a barrel in fluid communication with a needle connected with a first end of the barrel;

a piston comprising a plunger, the piston positioned within a second end of the barrel and the plunger having a fluid-tight interaction with an interior of the barrel; and

a microprocessor in electronic communication with a sensor and a wireless module, the microprocessor configured to send a dosage administration data from the wireless module upon triggering the sensor.

2 . The reporting syringe of claim 1 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises a potency data.

3 . The reporting syringe of claim 1 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises a dosage completion flag.

4 . The reporting syringe of claim 1 , further comprising:

a magnet positioned in linear slidable communication with the barrel and configured to induce a magnetic field on the sensor positioned on the barrel,

wherein the sensor comprises an electromagnetic sensor that is triggered by the magnetic field.

5 . A method of reporting patient compliance, comprising:

triggering a switch on a syringe, the triggering corresponding to a dosage administration corresponding to a volume of a pharmaceutical from the syringe; and

sending a dosage administration data from a wireless module of the syringe upon triggering the switch.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises a potency data e.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises only an identifier corresponding to the syringe.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein a magnet is positioned in linear slidable communication with the barrel and configured to induce a magnetic field on the switch positioned on the barrel,

wherein the switch comprises an electromagnetic sensor that is triggered by the magnetic field.

9 . A reporting syringe, comprising:

a barrel in fluid communication with a needle connected with a first end of the barrel;

a piston comprising a plunger, the piston positioned within a second end of the barrel and the plunger having a fluid-tight interaction with an interior of the barrel;

a microprocessor in electronic communication with a switch and a wireless module, the microprocessor configured to send a dosage data from the wireless module upon triggering the switch; and

a locking mechanism engage able with a stalk of the piston.

10 . The reporting syringe of claim 9 , wherein the locking mechanism is configured to prevent administration of the pharmaceutical before electronic patient verification.

11 . The reporting syringe of claim 10 , wherein the locking mechanism is configured to prevent administration of the pharmaceutical before electronic pharmaceutical storage safety verification.

12 . The reporting syringe of claim 11 , wherein the syringe is configured to prevent unlocking the locking mechanism when a load pressure sensor data comprises a load pressure sensor data point outside a predetermined load pressure sensor range.

13 . The reporting syringe of claim 11 , wherein the syringe is configured to prevent unlocking the locking mechanism when load pressure sensor data indicates a load pressure sensor data point corresponding to injection outside a patient body.

14 . The reporting syringe of claim 1 , wherein the dosage administration data comprises an administration completion data.

15 . The reporting syringe of claim 14 , wherein triggering the switch corresponds to complete administration corresponding to an entire volume of a pharmaceutical from the reporting syringe and occurs only when the piston is substantially fully compressed.

16 . The reporting syringe of claim 14 , wherein the switch is triggered when the piston is fully compressed.

17 . A reporting device adapted to fit a syringe, comprising:

a body comprising a body receiver configured to frictionally fit the body of a syringe;

a head in slidable communication with the body, the head comprising a head receiver configured to frictionally fit the head of a syringe; and

a microprocessor in electronic communication with a sensor and a wireless module, the microprocessor configured to send a dosage data from the wireless module upon dosage administration.

18 . The reporting device of claim 17 , wherein the sensor detects dosage administration, and the dosage data corresponds to less than complete administration.

19 . The reporting device of claim 17 , wherein sensor detects administration completion and the dosage data comprises an administration completion data.

20 . The reporting device of claim 17 , wherein the sensor comprises a switch that is triggered by dosage administration.
