The disclosure relates to a sensor arrangement for an injection device to determine an axial position of at least one device component of the injection device inside a housing of the injection device. The sensor arrangement includes an elongated member located inside the housing, extending in an axial direction and having at least a first section and a second section of different magnetization. The first and second sections are separated in the axial direction. The sensor arrangement also includes at least one magnetic sensor element attached to the housing to detect the axial position of at least one of the first and second sections.

A drug delivery device includes a magnet assembly, a coil assembly and processing circuitry. The magnet assembly has a plurality of magnets arranged in a ring. The coil assembly has one or more coils. The magnet assembly and the coil assembly are arranged to rotate relative to each other during ejection of medicament from the drug delivery device such that a voltage signal is produced in the coil assembly when a unit of dose is ejected. The processing circuitry is arranged to: receive the voltage signal; increment a counter in response to receipt of the voltage signal; and store information indicative of the number of units of dose ejected during a medicament ejection.

A dropping pipette-type cosmetic container includes a container body having a discharge port formed on one side thereof, a downward movement limiting member coupled to the other side of the container body, a pressing button rotatably coupled to the downward movement limiting member and configured to move downward by pressurization, and an elastic member for elastically supporting the pressing button; the downward movement limiting member has multiple main grooves formed thereon at different depths and has auxiliary grooves formed thereon so as to have the same depths as those of respective main grooves, which have different depths, and to constitute pairs therewith; main protrusions to be inserted into the main grooves and auxiliary protrusions to be inserted into the auxiliary grooves are formed on the pressing button so as to correspond to each other.

Apparatus for recording information concerning the use of an injection device, the apparatus comprising: one or more sensors for providing information indicative of how the injection device is used; a processor configured to analyse said information detected by the one or more sensors to determine use information, said use information corresponding to how the injection device is used; and a memory for storing said use information in an image format such that said use information can be retrieved from the memory and displayed in an image.

A prefilled syringe and a method of filling a syringe with a pegfilgrastim solution to provide a target extracted volume of pegfilgrastim solution from the syringe are described. A method includes selecting the target extracted volume of pegfilgrastim solution, determining an estimated drug transfer loss, determining an estimated syringe dead volume, filling the syringe with a volume of pegfilgrastim solution comprising at least the target extracted volume plus the estimated drug transfer loss plus the estimated syringe dead volume.

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.

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.

A drug delivery device is provided comprising a dose setting mechanism having a spindle and a cartridge holder coupled to the dose setting mechanism. The cartridge holder comprising a cartridge having a movable bung at one end of the cartridge. The cartridge holder must be rotated before a dose may set with the dose setting mechanism.

A housing for a drug delivery device is disclosed having a first housing component adapted to receive a cartridge at least partially filled with a medicament, and a second housing component adapted to receive a drive mechanism to operably engage with the cartridge for dispensing of a dose of the medicament, wherein the first housing component comprises an insert portion to be inserted in an axial direction into a corresponding receptacle of the second housing component, and wherein the insert portion comprises at least one radially outwardly extending first interlock member to positively engage and to rotationally lock with a correspondingly shaped second interlock member of the receptacle of the second housing component.

A drug delivery system comprises an indicator element and a sensor system. The indicator element is arranged to rotate relative to a reference component and corresponding to a reference axis and comprises a plurality of dipole magnets. The sensor system comprises a plurality of magnetometers arranged non-rotational relative to the reference component and adapted to determine continuous magnetic field values from the plurality of dipole magnets, as well as processor means configured to determine on the basis of measured values from the plurality of magnetometers a rotational position and/or a rotational movement of the indicator element.
