The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device, comprising a shell adapted to contain one of a plurality of medicament containers prefilled with different deliverable volumes of a medicament. The shell is transparent at least in an area adapted to contain the medicament container, and a label adapted to be arranged on the shell. The label comprises a foil having a first surface and a second surface, which is adapted to be connected to the shell. At least one cutout or transparent area is arranged in the foil adapted to be placed on the shell such that a medicament container arrangeable or arranged within the shell is visible through the cutout or transparent area. The cutout or transparent area exhibits a size adapted to allow inspection of the deliverable volume of medicament within the medicament container when the label is applied to the shell.

Aspects of the present disclosure disclose a system for delivering a medication. In one aspect, the disclosure is directed to a medical dispensing device that includes a label with a series of zones of varying widths, with each of the zones corresponding to a pre-determined volumetric dose of a drug that is correlated to a physical characteristic of a patient. In one specific example, the label is further affixed to the medical dispensing device such that a smallest dose of the drug to be administered corresponds to a first zone that is proximate an opening through which the drug is to be dispensed.

Modules for housing electronic and electromechanical medical equipment including a system to measure and record administration of one or more IV medications or fluids for IV administration.

The present disclosure relates to medicament injection devices. An injection device includes: a movable dosage programming component comprising a rotary encoder system having a predefined angular periodicity, a sensor arrangement including a first optical sensor configured to detect movement of the movable dosage programming component relative to the sensor arrangement during dosing of a medicament, wherein the first optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a first frequency, a second optical sensor configured to detect movement of the rotary encoder system relative to the second optical sensor wherein the second optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a second frequency lower than the first frequency, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on the detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device.

A supplemental device for attachment to an injection device, the supplemental device comprising: a housing; an electromechanical switch arrangement having an open state and a closed state, the electromechanical switch arrangement comprising a protrusion configured to contact a surface of the injection device while the supplemental device is attached to the injection device; a dose dialled detector operable to detect a dose of medicament dialled into the attached injection device; and a processor arrangement configured to: monitor the detected dose of medicament dialled into the attached injection device; detect a change in the state of the electromechanical switch arrangement; and change a display output of the supplemental device when a change in the state of the electromechanical switch arrangement is detected while a zero dose is dialled into the attached injection device.

An optical decoding system including an optical sensor integral with or attachable to a housing of a drug delivery device and configured to be directed at first and second rotatable components of a dose setting and dispensing mechanism of the drug delivery device and a processor configured to: (i) cause the optical sensor to capture images of the first and second rotatable components at least at the beginning and end of a medicament dose dispensing process; (ii) determine a rotational position of both the first and second rotatable components in each of the captured images; and (iii) determine from the rotational positions of the first and second rotatable components an amount of medicament delivered by the dose setting and dispensing mechanism of the drug delivery device.

A method for producing a resin syringe includes: a preparation step including: preparing a syringe body made of polyolefin, and preparing an ink comprising components including a volatile solvent that contains a dissolving component for dissolving the polyolefin, chlorinated polypropylene having a degree of chlorination in a range of 15 to 30%, a colorant, and a filler; an application step including applying the ink to at least a part of an outer surface of the syringe body, such that at least a part of the outer surface of the syringe body is dissolved by the dissolving component to form a plurality of recessed portions in the outer surface, each of the plurality of recessed portions is filled with at least one of the components of the ink; and a drying step including drying the applied ink to form a printing layer.

A medication injecting apparatus has a cartridge housing and a drive housing that is threadedly connected to the cartridge housing for axial displacement relative to one another. The drive housing has a helical-shaped passage and a flexible drive member is slidingly disposed within the helical-shaped passage and extends axially outwardly therefrom toward the cartridge housing. The flexible drive member is movable in the axial direction relative to the drive housing during dose setting and is axially fixed relative to the drive housing during injecting. A clutch has an engaged position and a disengaged position. The flexible drive member is axially fixed relative to the drive housing when the clutch is in the engaged position and the flexible drive member is movable relative to the drive housing when the clutch is in the disengaged position.

A dose setting mechanism for a drug delivery device. The mechanism may comprise a drug delivery device housing. A dose dial component is positioned in the housing and rotatable during dose setting and dose delivery. A split threaded insert is in threaded engagement with the dose dial component. The insert can transform from a first configuration to a second configuration when the dose dial component is rotated. In one dose setting mechanism arrangement, the first configuration may comprise a first open configuration and the second configuration may comprise a second closed configuration.
