On 5 February, during the Pharmapack Awards Ceremony, Safe’n’Spray™, Nemera’s smart electronic concept device with child-resistant and locking features, was celebrated as the "Best Innovation in Drug Delivery Device".

Safe’n’Spray is an integrated device with reusable electronic locking unit and fingerprint identification, to monitor drug delivered and prevent patient from overdosing. Safe’n’Spray responds to specific needs of controlling the doses delivered to patients in a defined period of time, in order to prevent any overdosing.

Indeed, Safe’n’Spray offers maximum safety for patients while using multidose potent drug products, without any risk of overdosing compared to other systems (e.g. unit-dose). Moreover, Safe’n’Spray offers a unique possibility to reuse the "SAFE" electronic part once the "SPRAY" part with the drug is over (eco-friendly on both economic and ecologic sides).

The fingerprint sensor for patient unique identification acts as an easy and intuitive child-resistant feature, without the need for adding any secondary packaging with a Child resistant function. Opposite to fully integrated devices, Safe’n’Spray does not change the manufacturing process of primary packaging on existing filling lines, as another module will deal with assembling Safe’n’Spray around primary packaging.

Last but not least, Safe’n’Spray is a connected device, linked with e-Nemera Cloud Solution, Nemera’s cloud platform. It offers access to patients, healthcare professionals and pharma companies for various services: treatment management, statistical analysis, etc.

"We are very proud to receive this prestigious award." – said Marc Hämel, Nemera’s CEO – "According to the World Health Organisation, overdose deaths contribute to between roughly a third and a half of all drug-related deaths, which are attributable in most cases to opioids. With Safe’n’SprayTM, we offer a solution to prevent any overdosing thanks to the different electronic features. This product is also user-friendly, child-resistant and sustainable, with a reusable electronic locking unit. Receiving the Pharmapack ‘Best Innovation in Drug Delivery Device’ Award is a great recognition for all our teams working every day to improve patients’ lives with innovative ideas."
