Assembly systems for Medication applicators and diagnosis products

Applicators and diagnostic products are mostly prescription products of the pharmaceutical industry. They are manufactured for the consumer and can be used without medical staff. Simple and safe use, dosage and administration are the crucial functions in the patient's own treatment or self-diagnosis. Examples of applicators are pen systems, inhalers or nasal sprayers. Diabetes patients use insulin pens to inject the vital protein. A typical design consists of a dosage unit with dosing and injection button, piston rod and plunger, insulin cartridge for 300 units, cartridge holder, needle and closure flap. Standard, semi-automatic and pre-filled disposable pens are available. Inhalation systems, propellant-dosed aerosols, or powder inhalers, are used to treat acute or chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma inhalers nebulize fenoterol, salbutamol or terbutaline. Compressed air, ultrasonic and vibration diaphragm technologies are used for nebulization. Powder inhalers dispense a certain dose into an inhalation channel. For both procedures a sufficiently deep inhalation is crucial. Nasal sprayers for applying the active substance to the nasal mucosa are available for single-use or multiple applications with or without a dosing device. The most common diagnostic products for single use are allergy and pregnancy tests as well as rapid test analysis cassettes for blood, plasma and urine.
