The present invention relates to an injection device comprising a torsion spring operatively connected to a dose setting member being adapted to set a dose to be ejected from the injection device. A rotatably mounted display member adapted to display the dose to be ejected in accordance with a setting of the dose setting member is also provided. The rotatably mounted display member is adapted to be rotated over an angle corresponding to at least one revolution of the display member. The display member may be implemented as a dose indicator barrel having numerals arranged along a helical path on an outer surface thereof, or alternatively, as a counting device having two or more display wheels having numerals arranged on an outer surface thereof.

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.

A medication injection pen, including a housing, a dose set knob (DSK) comprising an internal key, and a dose stop member engaging the dose set knob. Rotation of the dose set knob to set a medication dose causes rotation of the dose stop member with respect to the dose set knob, and when the dose set knob is rotated to a last dose setting position, the dose stop member rotationally abuts the internal key thereby preventing further rotational movement of the dose set knob in a dose setting direction.

A cartridge holder assembly is provided, comprising an enclosed cartridge, a distal portion and a proximal portion. The enclosed cartridge defines a longitudinal axis and comprises a generally cylindrical main portion, a distal outlet portion having a neck portion with a circumferential shoulder portion, and a proximal portion having an opening surrounded by a circumferential rim. The distal portion comprises a distal support structure engaging the cartridge neck portion and being adapted to support the cartridge against movement in the distal direction, and the proximal portion comprises a proximal support structure engaging the cartridge circumferential rim and being adapted to support the cartridge against movement in the proximal direction. The proximal support structure is essentially non-deformed, and the distal support structure engaging the cartridge neck portion is plastically deformed.

Described is a dose tracking mechanism for a drug delivery device, including an RFID device with an electric circuit and a switch operable to open and close the electric circuit to transmit a wireless signal to a receiving device when the electric circuit is closed by the switch. The switch is configured to open and close in response to operation of a dose setting and/or a dose dispensing mechanism of the drug delivery device, and the closing and opening of the electric circuit generates a pulse of the wireless RFID signal. In one embodiment, each pulse corresponds to a unit of a dose of medicament set by the dose setting mechanism or dispensed by the dose dispensing mechanism from a drug container of the drug delivery device, depending on if the dose setting or dose dispensing mechanism is arranged to toggle the switch.

A data collection device for attachment to an injection device and for collecting medicament dosage information therefrom.

The present invention relates to a torsion spring based automatic injection device for apportioning set doses of a liquid drug and which injection device is provided with an End-of-Dose feedback mechanism providing a user with an audible signal once the set dose has been injected. During injection, the scale drum rotates back to its “zero” position under influence of the torsion spring. This rotation is halted shortly before reaching the “zero” position by stopping means. The scale drum is thereafter only allowed to continue rotation and thus reach the “zero” position once the torque applied to the scale drum by the torsion spring surpasses a threshold value.

A power pack for use with a medicament delivery device is presented having a plunger rod movable along a longitudinal axis; a drive spring operably connected to said plunger rod; a plunger rod sleeve arranged with holding elements for releasably holding said plunger rod with said drive spring in a tensioned state. Signal initiating elements are arranged to said plunger rod; and signal generating elements arranged to cooperate with said signal initiating elements for providing information to a user of a medicament delivery device about the movement of said plunger rod when said plunger rod sleeve has been activated to release said holding elements.

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, an intelligent medicine administering system includes a medicine injection device having a multi-channel encoder that detects fault conditions (e.g., such as open or short circuits) and a patient user's companion device including a software application operable to implement algorithms for detecting faults and communication loss and alerting the patient user for safety and fail-safes of the medicine injection device.

The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device comprising: a housing; a moveable number sleeve disposed within the housing and having numbers printed thereon; and a transparent window occupying an aperture of the housing and covering the number sleeve such that the number sleeve is visible through the transparent window. At least one region of the housing located adjacent to the transparent window is transparent to visible light and is in optical communication with the transparent window.
