A medication delivery device having a lock element. The device is connectable to an electrical plug of a conduit. The device includes an external housing with an opening that ports to a plug receiving hollow within an interior volume. An electrical circuit connected to at least one of a rechargeable battery and a memory controller includes a connection element within the plug receiving hollow. The lock element travels within the plug receiving hollow when a dose delivery assembly of the device operates for forcing medication from the device. The lock element is sized and positioned to have its travel halted by abutment with the plug, when the plug is within the plug receiving hollow and electrically interfacing with the connection element, to thereby halt the dose delivery assembly from further operating for forcing medication from the device.

An injection monitoring module adapted and configured to be removably attached to a proximal extremity of an injection pen system for delivery of a drug. The monitoring module comprises a hollow main body adapted and configured to be coaxially mounted on, and engage in co-rotation with, a dose setting wheel of the pen injection system, and a central longitudinal bore with a proximal extremity and a distal extremity and an injection monitoring system located in the bore at a proximal extremity thereof. An injection monitoring system is movable within the bore along a central longitudinal, axis thereof from a first monitoring position in which the injection monitoring system is not in abutting contact with a proximal surface of an injection activator of the injection pen system, to a second monitoring position in which the injection monitoring system is in abutting contact with the proximal surface of the injection activator.

The present disclosure is directed to a dose setting mechanism that may be used with a drug delivery device. The dose setting mechanism may include an inner body having a helical thread along an outer cylindrical surface of the inner body, and a drive sleeve for driving a piston rod in an axial direction, the drive sleeve positioned within at least a portion of the inner body. The dose setting mechanism may further include a dose dial sleeve rotatably engaged with the helical thread of the inner body and a dial grip connected to the dose dial sleeve and releasably connected to the drive sleeve. Further when a dose is set, the dial grip is rotated so that both the dose dial sleeve and the drive sleeve rotate with respect to the inner body.

Medication delivery devices are provided having a housing comprising a reservoir sized sufficiently to hold medication, a dose button being rotatable relative to the housing to select a dose size of the medication for an injection, a printed circuit board, a conductive trace, and a microcontroller. In some embodiments, a bias source can be in electrical communication with the conductive trace, and the microcontroller can be in electrical communication with the conductive trace through a logic input. In some embodiments, an analog-to-digital converter can be in electrical communication with the conductive trace, the microcontroller, and a bias source. The microcontroller is configured to receive a signal from the ADC or the logic input, and determine, based on the received signal, that moisture may be present on the printed circuit board.

An injection device provides a casing which accommodates or forms a reservoir for a liquid drug; a plunger rod which can move relative to the casing in an axially forward direction to deliver the drug; a dosing means which can move in the forward direction relative to the casing to prime the reservoir and which can rotate relative to the casing for selecting a dose to be injected, wherein rotation of the dosing means relative to the casing is prevented until a priming operation for priming the reservoir is completed; d) wherein the dosing means comprises a dosing control means which is configured to enable rotation of the dosing means at the end of the priming stroke for selecting the dose and to prevent a rotation of the dosing means back into the position which the dosing means had at the end of the priming stroke relative to the casing.

The disclosure provides a dose controlled multi-shot injection device comprising a housing and a dose setting mechanism, wherein the dose setting mechanism includes a drive spring, a rotatable dose setting handle adapted to set a dose of medicament, thereby biasing the drive spring, and a ratchet mechanism for maintaining the drive spring in a biased state against a spring force at a set dose. The ratchet mechanism includes a fixed ratchet element coupled to the housing and having a circumferential teething, a movable flexible ratchet element provided with at least two teethed portions configured to engage the circumferential teething at least pairwise at any one of a plurality of engaging positions, which respectively represent a set dose, and a rotational element coupled to the dose setting handle configured to translate torque from the dose setting handle into a number of forces radially acting on the flexible ratchet element resulting in an elastic deformation of the flexible ratchet element, thereby releasing the engagement between the teethed portion and the circumferential teething.

An injection device for delivering equal doses of a fluid contained in a reservoir, the device having a housing, and an arming mechanism and a dose delivery mechanism arranged therein, the housing coupled to an enclosure for the reservoir. The arming mechanism includes an axially non-displaceable and rotatable setting sleeve. The setting sleeve is coupled with a spring strained by the rotation of the setting sleeve during arming of the device. The dose delivery mechanism includes a screw ring and a nonrotatable and axially displaceable piston rod within the setting sleeve. The piston rod cooperates with the screw ring so that during arming, the screw ring and the piston rod are immobilized, and during delivery of each dose the piston rod is displaced along the housing due to unwinding of the spring and rotation of the screw ring, the displacement of the piston rod causing the fluid to be discharged from the reservoir.

An assembly for a drug delivery device comprises a housing, a dose member which is displaceable in a proximal direction with respect to the housing for setting of a dose of a drug, a clutch member which is displaced in the proximal direction with respect to the housing when setting the dose, and a stop member configured to define a clutch stop position. The clutch member and the dose member are configured to mechanically cooperate with one another when the clutch member is in the clutch stop position, thereby preventing further displacement of the dose member in the proximal direction with respect to the housing during setting of the dose.
