Rheumatoid Arthritis Support

SureClick is a trademarked medical device, produced by Amgen and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals. The product is sold pre-filled with drugs from these corporations. The device itself is a needle-based, spring-loaded, plunger (piston)-drive autoinjector (drug delivery device). It is disposable, self-injectable, pen-shaped, and portable. The SureClick autoinjector is available for both Aranesp for anemia and Enbrel for rheumatoid arthritis. A previous product, the Neulasta SureClick injector, was recalled in 2006 due to malfunctions of the injector which failed to dispense the proper dosage. All three are classified as "combination product" by FDA; as such, the two remaining on the market are regulated in the United States as drug products and not medical devices.
