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 apparatus and method for adjusting an injection device for administering a substance that includes a device housing with an array of fastening points. The apparatus has at least two housing-like shells, each having at least one holding device and at least one blocking device for attaching to the housing. The holding device of a first shell can be attached to a fastening point, and the holding device of a second shell can be attached to a further fastening point. Upon attaching all of the plurality of housing-like shells to the housing, the blocking devices of the plurality of housing-like shells prevent the disengagement of the plurality of housing-like shells from the housing by blocking detachment of the holding devices from the fastening points. At least one of the housing-like shells comprises an electronic assembly and shell attachment to the housing activates the electronic assembly.

The present invention relates to a monitoring device (10) arranged to be operably connected to a medicament delivery device (12), said medicament delivery device (12) comprising a manually operated movable dose activation element (20), said monitoring device (10) comprising an electronic circuit (42), said electronic circuit (42) comprising an optical sensor (68), wherein said optical sensor (68) is positioned in relation to said dose activation element (20) so as to detect a manual operation of said dose activation element (20) from an initial position; said electronics circuit further comprising a vibration sensor (70), wherein said vibration sensor (70) is positioned in relation to said medicament delivery device so as to detect specific vibration spectra produced by the medicament delivery device when said dose activating element (20) is operated, wherein said electronic circuit (42) comprises computing elements capable of correlating the information from the optical sensor (68) with the information from the vibration sensor (70) when said dose activation element (20) is operated in order to register when a correct dose has been set.

An apparatus is disclosed, comprising a detector unit comprising a detector configured to detect an actuation action performable via the detector unit to an actuation button of a medical device to cause the medical device to eject at least a portion of a medicament comprised in the medical device. The detector is configured to detect the actuation action based on a detection of a force and/or a touch applied to the detector unit as part of the actuation action. The apparatus further comprises an electric unit connected to the detector and configured to store and/or provide information related to the detected actuation action. Furthermore, an according method and a computer program for controlling this method are disclosed.

The invention is concerned with a simple and reliable manner of monitoring a handling or use of injection devices by means of a reusable electronic module. According to the invention, a displacement of a component of the injection device between an initial position and an intermediate position, and a subsequent displacement of the same component between the intermediate position and a final position essentially identical with the initial position is observed by one and the same sensor comprised in an electronic module separate from the injection device. A status or state of the injection device is then inferred in the electronic module from these two observations by way of digitally processing sensor output information. The invention thus enables secure, easy and cost-effective operation of components, devices and systems for the generation, collection and distribution of data associated with the handling or use of the injection devices.

A syringe packaging system that includes a tube and a cap for enclosing a pre-filled syringe is disclosed. The tube includes a proximal end, a closed distal end, and a sidewall extending between the proximal and closed distal ends. The sidewall includes an injection molding gate. In one embodiment, a film is securable to a portion of the tube and a portion of the cap to connect the tube and the cap with the pre-filled syringe enclosed within the cap and the tube.

A testing assembly for a drug delivery device is disclosed. The testing assembly can include a pressure vessel having a sealed pressure chamber that is configured to be pressurized to a predetermined pressure. The pressure vessel further defines an injection opening extending from an exterior thereof to the pressure chamber. A pierceable barrier extends over and seals the injection opening. The testing assembly further includes a measurement device disposed within the pressure chamber and a container aligned with the injection opening, such that the container is configured to collect a dose of a drug delivered via a drug delivery device through the pierceable barrier and the measurement device is configured to measure the dose of the drug.

A transport lock assembly for a medicament delivery device, wherein the transport lock assembly comprises a powerpack (30) having a locking member (50, 50′, 50″) configured to interact with a control member (60), which locking member (50, 50′, 50″) is movable, relative to the control member (60), from a first state in which the control member (60) is immobilized, to a second state in which the control member (60) is free to move; wherein the transport lock assembly further comprises a housing part (20) having a key member (22), such that assembly of the powerpack (30) with the housing part (20) causes the key member (22) to move the locking member (50, 50′, 50″) from the first state to the second state.
