Abstract:
Disclosed are hypodermic needle devices having an easily-observed, visual indication that the drug contents of the device have expired. The visual indication may be triggered when a counter maintained by a processor of the hypodermic needle device has exceeded a time threshold. The time threshold may be configured based on the drug threshold, and the counter and time threshold may be manually or dynamically adjusted as real-world conditions change to alter the time to expiration. For instance, an prolonged increase in temperature detected by the temperature sensor may speed up the expiration rate of the drug and require a reduction in the time threshold.

Claim (Index 28):
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions embedded thereon comprising computer code for instructing a processor of a hypodermic needle device to:\n initiate a counter; determine a time threshold stored in a memory of the hypodermic needle device; compare the counter to the time threshold at pre-programmed intervals; and upon determining that the counter exceeds the time threshold, trigger an expiration visual element of the hypodermic needle device, wherein the expiration visual element is configured to provide an indication that a drug contained in the hypodermic needle device has expired.
