Injection monitoring circuitry is provided for coupling to part of an injection device having a syringe and a plunger rod. The injection monitoring circuitry has an input to receive force measurement data from a force sensor, the force measurement data includes a plurality of timestamped force measurements of force applied by a user to the injection device when an injection is administered to an injection site. Processing circuitry is provided to determine from the force measurement data when an end of injection has been reached, the end of injection corresponding to the plunger rod having reached an end position in a distal portion of the barrel of the syringe during administration of the injection by the user. Machine readable instructions and an injection monitoring method are also provided.

An electrical information device configured to communicate information related to a medicament delivery performed by a medicament delivery device is presented. The device includes at least one information communication unit configured to communicate the information, and at least one power providing arrangement including at least one power source, at least one electrical switch and at least one switch lock member. The at least one switch lock member being configured to be movable in an axial direction from a first position to a second position by an axial movement of at least one triggering member of the medicament delivery device, to cause a change of state of the at least one electrical switch in the second position, thereby providing electrical power to the at least one information communication unit from the at least one power source, and to be locked in the second position, such that the change of state of the electrical switch is maintained.

A drug delivery device comprises a medication container containing medication for delivery and a detachable unit having an electronic circuit with a microprocessor. The electronic circuit is open and non-operational when the detachable component is assembled on the drug delivery device; and the electronic circuit is closed and operational when the detachable component is detached from the drug delivery device. The detachment of the detachable unit is an essential step to operate the drug delivery device. The detachable unit can be an activation protection cap or a needle shield remover for an autoinjector device. Alternatively, the detachable unit can be a needle shield remover for a pre-filled syringe.

A start of medicament delivery notification mechanism is presented where the notification mechanism is positioned within a housing of a medical device and includes a rear cap secured to a distal end of the housing, where the rear cap has a hollow tubular housing extending proximally from a distal end of the rear cap such that the tubular housing is cantilevered within and rotatably fixed relative to the housing and is parallel with a longitudinal axis of the housing. A rotator rotatably is positioned around the tubular housing such that rotator can rotate relative to the tubular housing from a first position to a second position, where the second position coincides with an initiation of a delivery of a dose of medicament. The rotator further has a contact surface that engages with and subsequently disengages from a corresponding contact surface located on the rear cap or on an inside surface of the housing.

A method for medicine administration and tracking and system for the same that may implement the method via a health management application running on a computing device includes tracking movement of an injection pen from a start location to a dispensing location, detecting a dispensing event of medicine dispensed from the injection pen at the dispensing location, determining a location of the dispensing location relative to a user's body, associating information relating to the detected dispensing event with information relating to the determined location, and providing feedback based upon the detected dispensing event information and the determined location information.

An injection device for setting and injecting of a dose of a medicament includes: an acoustic feedback arrangement comprising: a first feedback element having a first engaging section and having a free end section located at a predetermined distance from the first engaging section, a second feedback element having a second engaging section configured to engage with the first engaging section, wherein the first feedback element is movable, pivotable or resiliently deformable along a first direction (d1) relative to the second feedback element from an initial state (i) towards a biased state (b), and a sound generator formed by the first engaging section or audibly engageable with the free end section of the first feedback element.

An injection device for injecting a substance into a body, including: a barrel provided with the substance a stopper in sliding engagement inside the barrel and an injection needle; a plunger rod coupled to the stopper and moveable in order to inject the substance, a locking clip fixed relative to the barrel and provided with at least two jaws engaging the plunger rod so as to prevent an injection movement of the plunger rod with regard to the barrel, and a needle shield including a triggering portion, the needle shield being configured in sliding engagement with respect to the injection needle, where the triggering portion is configured to open the locking clip when the needle shield moves from an initial position to a retracted position.

An injection endpoint signalling assembly is provided that is adapted and configured for mounting on, and use with, a pre-filled syringe. The injection endpoint assembly is configured to prevent a signalling of an injection endpoint before the plunger of the pre-filled syringe has reached a limit of a permitted extent of a direction of injection travel. The assembly is further configured to enable the signalling of the injection end point when the plunger of the pre-filled syringe has reached the limit of the permitted extent of the direction of injection travel and is prevented from moving in a direction of travel different to the direction of injection travel.

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device. The drug delivery device includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end. Additionally, a needle guard disposed at the proximal end of the housing and movable in an axial direction relative the housing between a first position and a second position. A storage container, disposed within the housing for storing a drug, includes a needle for administering the drug. The drug delivery device also includes an injection activation button disposed on the distal end of the housing and including a fingerprint detector. Additionally, the present disclosure includes a lock configured to switch between a locked configuration inhibiting actuation of the drug delivery device and an unlocked configuration enabling actuation of the delivery device. The lock is in the unlocked configuration when the needle guard is in the second position and the fingerprint detector detects a fingerprint.

The invention relates to a drug delivery device comprising: a syringe with a body from which a needle extends and an inner sheath; a piston rod comprising a piston and an actuation head, a support sheath for holding the body. It is envisaged that the support sheath and the actuation head comprise corresponding indicators.
