Abstract:
A method of delivering a drug to a patient using a therapy specific, pre-programmed auto-injection device includes positioning the hand-held device proximate to an infusion and aspiration location of the patient, and receiving, at a controller disposed within the housing, an infusion and aspiration profile. The infusion and aspiration profile including an infusion and aspiration protocol for controlling at least one of a plurality of syringes partially disposed within the housing. The method also includes operating at least one actuator coupled to the plurality of syringes according to the infusion and aspiration protocol, causing the syringes to expel a fluid from a respective barrel of the plurality of syringe into the infusion and aspiration location or causing the syringes to draw a fluid from the infusion and aspiration location into a respective barrel of the plurality of syringes.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of delivering a drug to a patient using a therapy specific, pre-programmed auto-injection device, the method comprising:\n positioning a therapy specific, hand-held device proximate an infusion and aspiration location of the patient, the hand-held device having a housing and a plurality of syringes carried by the housing, each syringe having a barrel, a plunger rod partially disposed within the barrel, and a stopper disposed at a proximal end of the plunger rod within the barrel, and at least one of the plurality of syringes having a fluid stored within the barrel; receiving, at a controller disposed within the housing, an infusion and aspiration profile, the infusion and aspiration profile comprising an infusion and aspiration protocol for at least one of the plurality of syringes; monitoring, via at least one sensor disposed in the hand-held device, a pressure associated with the patient, operating at least one actuator based in part on the infusion and aspiration protocol and the monitored pressure, the at least one actuator having a plurality of shafts coupled to a respective plunger rod; wherein operating at least one actuator comprises actuating the plurality of shafts of the actuator according to the infusion and aspiration protocol and the monitored pressure, wherein actuating the plurality of shafts causes movement of the plunger rods between a first position, in which each stopper is spaced from a proximal end of a respective barrel, and a second position, in which each stopper sealingly engages the proximal end of the respective barrel, wherein movement of the plunger rods from the first position to the second position expels the fluid from the respective barrel and into the infusion and aspiration location, and wherein movement of the plunger rods from the second position to the first position draws fluid from the infusion and aspiration location into the respective barrel.
