Zusammenfassung:Systems, devices and methods are provided for administering a carrier incorporating a therapeutic preparation within a subject. A device includes a carrier, and a launch assembly to deploy the carrier by ejecting the carrier from the device and into internal tissue of the subject. The device detects a status of deployment of the carrier. A system includes a delivery device, a carrier disposed in the delivery device, a launch assembly, and detection circuitry. The launch assembly causes the carrier to exit the delivery device so as to penetrate internal tissue of the subject. The system determines a status of deployment of the carrier using the detection circuitry. A method includes introducing a launch assembly within the subject, the launch assembly coupled to a carrier; deploying, by the launch assembly, the carrier; and detecting a status of deployment of the carrier.
