A method and system for providing a drug delivery device. The drug delivery device comprises a dose setting mechanism comprising 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.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques, processes, devices or systems for pump devices. In one approach, a wearable drug delivery device, may include a reservoir configured to store a fluid, the reservoir comprising a housing including an outer wall defining an interior chamber, and a drive mechanism for driving the fluid from the reservoir. The drive mechanism may include a plunger received in the interior chamber of the reservoir, a leadscrew extending from the plunger, and a clutch mechanism threadably engaged with the leadscrew, wherein the clutch mechanism is configured to allow the leadscrew to pass through the clutch mechanism when disengaged and is configured to grip the leadscrew when engaged such that the clutch mechanism rotates to advance the leadscrew and the plunger into the reservoir.

A set of at least two drug delivery devices includes a first drug delivery device and a second drug delivery device, The first and second drug delivery devices each include a first set of mutual members that are identical, and the first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device each include a second set of distinguishing members that differ. The first drug delivery device includes a first connection device for attaching a first dispensing unit to the first drug delivery device and the second drug delivery device includes second connection device for attaching a second dispensing unit to the second drug delivery device, the first and second connection devices differ from each other so that the second dispensing unit is not attachable to the first connection device and the first dispensing unit is not attachable to the second connection device.

A dose setting mechanism for a drug delivery device is disclosed. The mechanism comprises an outer housing and an inner housing having an external groove. The inner housing guides a driver to dispense a set dose. A dial sleeve is disposed between the outer and inner housing and is rotatably engaged with the inner housing. When a dose is set, the dial sleeve is rotated and translates away from both the outer housing and the inner housing.

A drug injection control device allows a structure in which a piston rod moving with a rod guide makes a linear motion to stably inject a drug set through a dose dial. When an injection amount of drug is preset through an injection amount setting module configured to make a rotational motion with the dose dial in a housing to set the amount of drug to be injected by storing the twisting moment in a torsion spring, in actuating a drug delivery module switchably coupled to the injection amount setting module by an injection button on top of the drug injection control device, the rod guide is connected to the inside of the piston rod through a reset tube movably coupled to the injection button to allow a sub-linear motion of the piston rod.

A drug injection control device has a structure in which a rod lock screw-coupled to an outer circumferential surface of a piston rod can only make a linear motion under restricted rotation in a rod holder with the rotation of a rod guide and the sub-linear motion of the piston rod. When an injection amount of drug is preset through an injection amount setting module configured to make a rotational motion with a dose dial in a housing to set the amount of drug to be injected by storing the twisting moment in a torsion spring, a button plate is fixed and positioned in the dose dial to perform a function of supporting a button spring, and an injection button is slidably coupled through the button plate, so the injection button rotates simultaneously with the rotation of the dose dial, but allows a stable pushing operation through the button plate.

A drug injection control device includes a housing, a dose dial rotatably coupled to the housing, a cartridge holder coupled to an opposite side of the housing, an injection button, a spring base non-rotatably coupled to the housing, an injection amount setting module to set an amount of the drug to be injected by storing a twisting moment in a torsion spring in the housing, and a drug delivery module to deliver a drug from the cartridge embedded in the cartridge holder by moving through the release of the twisting moment. The spring base includes a ratchet to engage with ratchet protrusions in the dose dial during the rotation of the dose dial, and feedback on the set injection amount of the drug is provided through generating a sound by sequential contact between the ratchet and the ratchet protrusions radially formed along a radial direction on the dose dial.

A drug injection control device includes a housing, a dose dial, a cartridge holder fixedly coupled to an opposite side of the housing, an injection button positioned in the dose dial, an injection amount setting module, and a drug delivery module, wherein the injection amount setting module includes a reset tube switchably coupled to the dose dial by the operation of the injection button, a ratchet tube coupled to an outer side of the reset tube to rotate at the same time, a scale drum which slidably rotates along an axial direction on an outer surface of the ratchet tube, a torsion spring having two ends coupled to the housing and the ratchet tube, and an anchor rotatably coupled to the ratchet tube and slidably coupled to an inside of the housing.

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.

Drive systems for a drug delivery device are provided. The drive systems can be positioned within a container that stores a liquid drug to be delivered to a user. The drive systems can be coupled to a plunger positioned within the container. The drive systems can be incrementally advanced to drive the plunger further into the container, thereby expelling a portion of the stored liquid drug from the container for delivery to the user. The container can be any type of container including a pre-filled, standardized drug cartridge. The drive systems and container can be components of a wearable drug delivery device.
