An injection device includes a housing having an internal volume and a viewing portion. A movable seal is disposed in the internal volume and is movable from an initial position to an injection end position to urge a drug product out of the housing. An indicator assembly is disposed in the internal volume and includes a dose end indicator. The indicator assembly is biased from a dose remaining position toward a dose end position where the dose end indicator is visible through the viewing portion. A release mechanism releasably holds the indicator assembly in the dose remaining position and is linked to the movable seal such that the movable seal reaching the injection end position causes the release mechanism to release the indicator assembly to the dose end position.

Systems and methods are disclosed for processing sensor data collected by a drug delivery device with an external computing device. The drug delivery device may include a reservoir and a delivery cannula having a proximal end in fluid communication with the reservoir and a distal end to be received within a patient. The drug delivery device may further include one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data representative of a condition and/or operational state of the drug delivery device, and a communication module configured to transmit information to the external computing device. The external computing device may process the information received from the drug delivery device according to information stored in a memory of the external computing device to determine the condition or the operational state of the drug delivery device and/or generate instructional or informational prompts to be displayed to a user or patient.

The disclosure relates to a sensor system for detecting a position of a movable plunger in a drug delivery device, the sensor system comprising a sensor capable of detecting a magnetic field, the sensor adapted to be fixed within a housing of a drug delivery device, and a ferromagnetic or permanent magnetic component magnetically interacting with the sensor and adapted to move relative to the sensor as the plunger is moved.

A method of monitoring a use cycle or delivery process by a variable-dose delivery device involves, by an electronic unit associated with the delivery device, determining, during the use cycle, first and second event details of a first and second dispense event. Thereafter, determining cycle properties including at least one of a number of dispense events in the use-cycle and a holding time status indicative of a regular holding time having been observed at the end of the use cycle. Evaluating an injection criteria, including a multi-event-criteria based on an event detail of the first event, or a cycle criteria based on a cycle property of the use cycle, to derive an injection score of the second event, indicating a probability that a second dispensed dose has been injected and was not a priming or air shot. Determining and forwarding a cycle dispense dose based on the injection score.

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.

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to an injection device (102) including a medicament reservoir (103) configured to store a medicament to be expelled by the injection device (102), an acoustic source (122a, 122b, 122c, 122d, 200, 300, 400) configured to generate an acoustic signal including information indicative of an amount of the medicament stored in the medicament reservoir (103), the acoustic signal being transmitted to an external device (104) configured to process the acoustic signal and to extract injection device data.

Systems, devices, and techniques are disclosed for administering and tracking medicine to patients and providing health management capabilities for patients and caregivers. In some aspects, a system includes an injection pen device in communication with a mobile communication device having a software application to determine a recommended dose based on prior dose data, analyte data, and nutrient data and to generate a report illustrative of a relationship between the medicine data, the health data, and the contextual data.

A reporting injection device, including a barrel in fluid communication with a needle connected with a first end of the barrel, a piston including a plunger, the piston positioned within a second end of the barrel and the plunger having a fluid-tight interaction with an interior of the barrel, and a microprocessor in electronic communication with a switch and a wireless module, the microprocessor configured to send an administration data from the wireless module after triggering the switch.

An automatic medication injection device that provides a user with audible notice of injecting progress. The device in one form includes a plurality of sound elements located on drive mechanism portion that inserts within a barrel of a container of medication to advance a sealing plunger of that container. The device also includes at least one actuating element movable axially with the container of medication within the device housing, which at least one actuating is element arranged to engage the plurality of sound elements to generate audible notices as the advancing portion moves past the at least one actuating element when advancing the sealing plunger for an injection.

An apparatus includes a syringe body, a plunger, a cap, and a dose gauge. The syringe body defines a volume configured to contain a medicament. The dose gauge is disposed about at least a portion of a side wall of the syringe body, and defines a window. The cap is coupled to a proximal end portion of the syringe body, and includes an engagement portion. The plunger has a distal end portion configured to move within the volume to convey the medicament. An engagement portion of the plunger is configured to interface with the engagement portion of the cap to prevent rotation of the plunger about a longitudinal axis of the plunger. An outer surface of the plunger includes a series of indicia. At least one of the indicium is visible through the window when the plunger is in a first position within the volume.
