In this webinar, originally broadcast as part of Pharmapack Europe 2022, Chris Muenzer, Vice President of Innovation & Development, Haselmeier, a medmix Brand discusses how development of an integrated drug delivery device is a complex exercise that requires expertise in medical device engineering and pharmaceutical science. Health authorities expect legal manufactures to have a strategy to control device performance through the entire supply. Modeling and simulation is an important tool to ensure robust and repeatable performance while maintaining time to market. This case study looks at how Haselmeier is applying these techniques during the creation of a new autoinjector platform. In addition, Chris will look at future opportunities for further improvements though expanded use of digital twins and other technologies.

This session will explore: The role of the device supplier in overall product sustainability Benefits of lifecycle assessment (LCA) in device development Trade-offs between usability, cost of goods, and carbon footprint Challenging Pharma to close the circle and enable better solutions

Lyophilization (freeze drying) is a proven process for increasing the shelf life of vaccines, biologics and other injectables. But delivering these products requires several use steps that make them challenging to administer, particularly by patients and caregivers in non-clinical settings. To address these needs, Haselmeier has been developing several solutions for an easier and more convenient reconstitution and administration. This presentation will cover different types of primary drug containers such as vials and dual chamber cartridges for reconstitution along with the available device solutions to simplify delivery. The challenges and advantages of each solution, including vial to cartridge, out-of-pen reconstitution, and in-pen reconstitution will be discussed.
