Safety Syringes, Inc of California has another user of its UltraSafe Passive delivery system for a prefilled syringe presentation.

Shire Pharmaceuticals has recently launched DYNEPO epoetin delta in Germany with the delivery system, completing the initial step of a larger-scale launch programme planned for Europe over the coming several months.

DYNEPO epoetin delta is a erythropoesis-stimulatiung agent (ESA), the only ESA produced in human cells. ESAs are agents used in the treatment of anemia to increase the production of red blood cells. DYNEPO (Aventis Pharma) is produced by activating the erythrpoetin (EPO) gene in human cells. All other commercially available ESAs are presently made in animal cells.

The agent is packaged in prefilled syringes featuring a needle safety system to reduce needlestick injuries. The needle is immediately protected after administration of the injection and activation of the safety mechanism requires no action by the user.
