A sensor device is removably attachable to a drug delivery device. The sensor device comprises an array of optical sensors arranged within the sensor device such that, when the sensor device is attached to the drug delivery device, which has a first movable element configured to move along a path parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drug delivery device, each optical sensor is operable to detect light received at different locations along the path and to output a signal indicative of an amount of detected light. Circuitry is configured to receive the signals output from the optical sensors and, based on the received signals, determine information associated with a location along the path of the first movable element.

Disclosed is a device for the parenteral delivery of a medication, such as a drug. The device includes upper and lower housings in which the upper housing is configured to move relative to the lower housing as a result of application of an external force to permit the user of the device to control the rate at which the drug is administered.

A clutch assembly with a blocking system for a medical injection device, in which a first ratchet sleeve (3) is mounted on the clutch sleeve (2), the first ratchet sleeve (3) being rotatable in two directions and cooperating with a second ratchet sleeve (4) which is mounted on the first ratchet sleeve (3), the second ratchet sleeve (4) being rotatable only in one direction, the housing (1) has an internal toothed ring (1.1), the first ratchet sleeve (3) has at least one ratchet (3.1), and the second ratchet sleeve (4) has an internal toothed ring (4.1) and at least one ratchet (4.2). The second ratchet sleeve (4) and the housing (1) have blocking means (4.3, 1.2) for preventing the arming of the device when an insufficient volume of the medicament remains in the container, by blocking the rotation of the second ratchet sleeve (4) in relation to the housing (1).

An add-on device adapted to be releasably mounted on a drug delivery device, the add-on device comprising an outer assembly with an add-on dose setting member adapted to be coupled to the outer housing of a pen housing, as well as an inner assembly engaging the pen dose setting member and being in rotational engagement with the add-on dose setting member during dose setting. The invention addresses the issue of preventing transfer of movement from the add-on dose setting member to the inner assembly during dose expelling, which in accordance with the invention is realized by rotationally de-coupling the inner and outer assembly during dose expelling.

The present disclosure relates to a dose detection system for use in combination with a medication delivery device. In one aspect, the system includes a module keyed to the device and including a sensor operable to detect the relative angular position of a sensed element attached to the medication delivery device. The system determines the type of medication contained by the device, and/or the type of device, based on the detected angular position of the sensed element. In another aspect, the dose detection system is used in combination with a medication delivery device including a dose setting member which rotates relative to an actuator during dose delivery. The dose detection system includes a sensor and is operable to detect the relative angular positions of a sensed element attached to the dose setting member during dose delivery and to determine the amount of dose delivered. Related methods are also disclosed.
