The present disclosure is generally directed to a drug delivery device for selecting and dispensing a number of user variable doses of a medicament and to a non-numerical display for such a device. The display comprises a housing with at least one window, a dosing element movable relative to the housing during dose setting and/or dose dispensing, and a movable indicator element visible through the at least one window The indicator element is coupled to the dosing element and/or to the housing such that it moves not proportional to the dosing element.

A medication injection pen is provided comprising a housing (218), for housing a dose set knob (220), a leadscrew (226), a driver (224), a setback member (222), and a dose stop member (228). The dose set knob (220) is rotatable with respect to said housing (218) to set a desired injection dose, and comprises at least one internal thread (291). The leadscrew (226) includes a thread element by which it is advanceable in a first direction via a corresponding thread engagement, said first direction being that which expels medication from a cartridge (36). The driver (224) is rotationally fixed to said leadscrew (226) for preventing relative rotation therebetween, said driver (224) being rotatable in a first direction to rotate and advance said leadscrew (226) in said first direction. The setback member (222) is rotationally fixed to said driver (224) for preventing relative rotation therebetween.

Disclosed is a syringe for a micro-dosing syringe pump. The syringe includes a reservoir having an outlet port; a plunger having a track, with the plunger received inside a portion of the reservoir; a plunger driver comprising a gear connected to one end of a shaft and a pin located adjacent an opposite end of the shaft, with the plunger driver received inside the plunger and with the pin located inside and engaging the track. In use, rotation of the gear in a first direction advances the plunger into the reservoir a first distance as the pin travels in the track and rotation of the gear in a second direction opposite the first direction advances the plunger a further distance into the reservoir as the pin travels in the track. The design prevents excess dosing in a runaway motor failure.

The disclosure concerns an insulin delivery arrangement including a hand-operable insulin delivery device which includes an adjusting unit for presetting of an insulin dose and an applicator unit that can be triggered to deliver the preset insulin dose to a user. In order to ease burden of insulin dosing, a dose converter is adapted to receive an actual setting for the insulin dose as an input and to provide as an output a carbohydrate value equivalent to an amount of meal carbohydrates which can be compensated by the respective insulin dose. A display is used for displaying the carbohydrate value in parallel to the insulin dose.

A system including a training drug delivery device and a user device is provided. The training drug delivery device includes a body, a cap, a delivery activation button, a controller, a memory, a wireless unit for communicating with the user device, a drive for simulating a haptic response of a drug delivery device, and at least one sensor for measuring attachment of the cap and depression of the delivery activation button. The user device includes a controller, a memory, and a wireless unit. The user device is configured to connect to the training drug delivery device, receive sensor measurements from the training drug delivery device, and provide, based at least partly on the received sensor measurements, the user with feedback on handling the training drug delivery device.

A drug delivery system is provided that has an adjustable dose mechanism allowing setting and locking the dose then administration of the set dose. A method for administering a medicament using the drug delivery system is also provided.

A monitoring system comprises:

a first device configured to capture an image of a medicament dosage indicated by a medicament dispensing device by an image capturing component of the first device; display the image of the medicament dosage on a display of the first device; and transmit data representing the image of the medicament dosage to a second device; and computer code that when executed by a second device causes the second device to: receive the data representing the image of the medicament dosage sent by the first device; perform optical character recognition on the data of the medicament dosage thereby to identify the dosage indicated by the medicament dispensing device; and make a non-transient record of dosage information based at least in part on the identified medicament dosage.

Disclosed are systems and methods of detecting an impulse of energy given off by an injection device and determining a dosage of medicine based on the impulse. In one example, a module detects the vibrations given off by dialing a click-wheel on an autoinjector and determining the selected dosage of medicine based on the dialed dosage.

The disclosure relates to an injection device for expelling of a number of preset or user-selectable doses of a medicament. The injection device includes an elongated housing extending along an axial direction and configured to accommodate a cartridge containing the medicament and having a bung sealing a proximal end of the cartridge, a windup expelling mechanism, and a dose setting mechanism. The dose setting mechanism includes a handle , a dose tracking member, and a limiter. The dose tracking member is rotatable relative to the housing within a range of positional states and operatively connectable to the handle for tracking a rotation thereof. The limiter is operationally engageable with the dose tracking member and a trigger of the windup expelling mechanism for blocking actuation of the trigger when the dose tracking member is in one of a number of predetermined sections of the range of positional states.

Plunger rod stops attach to existing syringes to limit the range of motion of the plunger, thereby to precisely control the amount of liquid that can be expelled from the syringe when the plunger rod stop is in place. In some embodiments, plunger rod stop devices generally include a body configured to attach to the plunger, and a stand-off extending from the body, configured to contact the finger flange when the plunger is depressed. In other embodiments, the plunger rod stop attaches to the finger flange or other fixed component of the syringe and the stand-off is configured to contact the plunger or plunger rod. Methods of the invention involve using the devices to interfere with the range of motion of the plunger, then reconfiguring or removing the device to allow the plunger to be moved a predetermined length, which corresponds to a precise dosage amount.
