==User Device, System and Method for Determining a Threshold Time for an Injection Device to Transition to an Operational Temperature - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18039455 titled 'User Device, System and Method for Determining a Threshold Time for an Injection Device to Transition to an Operational Temperature

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a user device that determines a threshold time for an injection device to transition from storage temperature to operational temperature.

* The user device includes a scanning device to scan the injection device, determine the local temperature, calculate the threshold time, and alert the user when the threshold time is reached.
* The threshold time is based on the local temperature, operational temperature, and the volume of the drug in the injection device.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A user device configured to determine a threshold time for an injection device to transition from a storage temperature to an operational temperature is described. The user device comprises a scanning device, wherein the user device is configured to use the scanning device to scan the injection device, determine a local temperature, determine a threshold time, and alert a user that the threshold time has been reached. The threshold time is determined based on the local temperature, the operational temperature, and a volume of the drug contained in the injection device.
