An injection device for dispensing a product, the injection device including a moveable element which is moved for a dispensing operation, a spring, a product container holder and a product container, wherein the spring pushes against the moveable element to move the moveable element to an initial position after the dispensing operation has ended and against the product container to seat the product container in the product container holder.

A medication delivery device and/or dosing mechanisms suitable for use in medication delivery devices, in particular in pen-type injectors, preferably having a dose setting system and a drive device enabling the administration of a medicinal product from a single- or multi-dose medication cartridge.

An injection device (10) comprises an injection solution receptacle (30) and a plunger (70) at feast a portion of which is slidably received in the injection solution receptacle (30), wherein the plunger (70) is displaceable relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in a distal direction in order to expel an injection solution contained in the injection solution receptacle (30) from the injection solution receptacle (30). A first plunger stop mechanism (140) is adapted to stop a displacement of the plunger (70) relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) in the distal direction at a first dosing position (P1). A second plunger stop mechanism (140) is adapted to stop a displacement of the plunger (70) relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) from the first: dosing position (P1) in the distal direction at a second dosing position (P2), wherein the first and the second dosing position (P2) of the plunger (70) are selected in such a manner that the plunger (70), upon being displaced relative to the injection solution receptacle (30) between the first and the second dosing position (P2) is adapted to expel a desired dose of the injection solution contained in the injection solution receptacle (30) from the injection solution receptacle (30).

A device for injecting a medicament is provided. The device has a housing with a container within it which can hold a medicament. At its proximal end the container has a needle and a stopper. The device includes a plunger which at one end can engage the stopper. At the opposite end, the plunger can engage a first resilient member to move the stopper within the container to inject the medicament from the container. The device includes a collar with distal and proximal ends, the distal end engaging with a carriage and causing its rotation and the proximal end engaging with a second resilient member. The second resilient member can engage with a skin sensor which has distal and proximal ends. At the proximal end, the skin sensor can contact an injection site. The housing has a cap which can reduce or prevent movement of the skin sensor.

A delivery device includes a housing, a controller for setting a dose and a sensor mechanism for recording the dose set by the controller. The controller rotates with respect to the housing around a longitudinal axis and moves axially with respect to the housing along the longitudinal axis during dose setting. The sensor mechanism includes an electronics module and a dose setting sensor with a first sensor element and a second sensor element. The electronics module and the first sensor element are rotationally and axially fixed with respect to the controller and the second sensor element is rotationally fixed with respect to the housing and rotationally movable with respect to the controller. The first and second sensor element are at least temporarily positioned outside of the housing along the longitudinal axis during dose setting.

A method of providing and/or injecting octreotide acetate to a subject in need thereof includes storing the octreotide acetate in a cartridge of a multi-use multi-dose injector provided with a variable dose setter and actuator. The injector includes a needle configured for subcutaneous administration of the octreotide acetate, the octreotide acetate having a concentration of 2,500 μg/mL. The method further includes providing, on the injector, a plurality of indicia only at prescribed doses of 50 μg, 100 μg, 150 μg and 200 μg settable via the dose setter without indicia between said prescribed doses; and permitting setting of a dose of the octreotide acetate by rotation of the variable dose setter, wherein the injector is configured to provide at least one audible feedback during the rotation.

A drug delivery device with a housing configured to connect to a dispensing unit including a compartment containing a fluid, a piston rod configured to move in a proximal direction for ejecting the fluid, and a dosing mechanism including an actuation member to be actuated by a user. The device includes a conversion mechanism configured to convert a movement of the actuation member to a movement of the piston rod. The conversion mechanism includes a dose selector member, which is rotationally fixed to the housing and axially movable with respect to the housing, and a dosing member, which is rotationally movable with respect to the dose selector member. The drug delivery device includes a friction reduction mechanism provided between the dose selector member and the dosing member to reduce friction between the dose selector member and the dosing member.

A kit includes a drug delivery device and a dispensing unit. The drug delivery device includes a housing, a resetting element and a piston rod and the dispensing unit includes a cartridge holder. The cartridge holder is configured to be mounted to the housing and to receive a cartridge filled with a drug. The piston rod is configured to move in a proximal direction out of the housing to eject the drug and the resetting element is configured to rotate relative to the housing when no dispensing unit is attached to the housing and to thereby move the piston rod back into the housing. The dispensing unit is configured to press axially against the resetting element upon mounting to the housing to move the resetting element in the distal direction into the housing, and thereby rotationally lock the resetting element with respect to the housing.

A drug delivery device has a housing with a longitudinal axis, a dose setting member actuatable by a user and rotatable around the longitudinal axis to set a dose to be delivered by the drug delivery device, a piston rod that is configured to be axially advanced in a proximal direction to deliver the set dose, and a dosing member for defining the axial advancement of the piston rod upon delivery of the set dose. The dosing member is axially movable along the longitudinal axis and rotationally movable around the longitudinal axis during dose setting, and the dosing member is rotationally fixed to the dose setting member during dose setting. The dosing member includes a maximum dose stop that is configured to engage with a maximum stop feature provided at the housing to limit movement of the dosing member with respect to the housing upon setting a maximum dose.
