A medication injection method where a dose set knob of a medication injection pen is rotated with respect to the housing of the medication injection pen during dose setting and dose correcting, a driver is selectively engages with the dose set knob, the driver being rotatably fixed with respect to the housing during dose setting and dose correcting, the driver is moved axially with the dose set knob during the dose setting and the dose correcting, and the driver is rotated with the dose set knob during an injection.

A medicine injection pen includes a rotatable drive member and a rotary encoder associated with the drive member. The rotary encoder is configured to determine an amount of liquid medicine dispensed based on a rotational orientation of the drive member.

A drug delivery system includes a drug containing device and a drug delivery device. The drug containing device includes a chamber carrying a fluid drug and an outlet in fluid communication with the chamber. A first closure initially inhibits the fluid drug from exiting the drug containing device via the outlet. The drug delivery device includes a fluid passageway and a stem having an inlet in fluid communication with the fluid passageway. The stem displaces the first closure from the outlet and enters the outlet to provide fluid communication between the chamber and the fluid passageway and thereby facilitates delivery of the fluid drug to the drug delivery device. A second closure is coupled to the stem, and the second closure engages the first body at the outlet when the stem enters the outlet to inhibit the fluid drug from exiting the drug containing device around the stem.

A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.

An assembly for receiving a medicament container having a container carrier extending along a longitudinal axis, the container carrier having a carrier body, and a flexible carrier arm extending from the carrier body substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis; and a rotator comprising a hollow rotator body and a through hole which extends substantially parallel with the longitudinal axis, wherein the container carrier is arranged to receive the rotator such that the carrier arm extends through the through hole, and wherein the rotator is arranged to rotate about the longitudinal axis and relative to the container carrier. A cassette and a medicament delivery device are also provided.

A method of assembling a drug delivery device, comprising the steps of: inserting a piston rod in a nut portion of a cartridge assembly and rotating the piston rod until the piston rod distal end engages the cartridge piston, mounting a drive member on the piston rod in a rota-tional position being closest to a pre-determined rotational position, and rotating the drive member to the pre-determined rotational position.

A medicament delivery device for a mixing process to create a therapeutic substance for delivery within a multi-chambered cartridge, the delivery device includes a distal part with a dose setting mechanism having a housing, a dose setting knob, an injection button, a piston rod capable of moving axially along the longitudinal axis of the housing during dose delivery, and a return ring configured to reset the piston rod to a starting position. The delivery device also includes a proximal part including a cartridge holder configured to accept a multi-chambered cartridge, the cartridge holder including a screw driven sleeve configured for attachment to the distal part and rotation of the screw driven sleeve performing a medicament mixing process within the multi-chambered cartridge.

The disclosure relates to a cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device, the cartridge assembly comprising a cartridge containing a drug; a cartridge holder, the cartridge holder defining an interior cartridge holding section, where the cartridge is arranged within the cartridge holding section, wherein the cartridge holder comprises a distal region with a needle connector arranged at a distal end of the distal region and a main body region; a fixing feature which is arranged at the distal region; and a region with reduced mechanical stiffness compared to the stiffness of the main body region, the region with reduced mechanical stiffness being integrated into the distal region and arranged between the needle connector and the fixing feature, such that when the cartridge is moved in a proximal direction, an emerging load is transferred from the cartridge to the fixing feature and to the main body region in the proximal direction.

A syringe holder for an autoinjector is presented having a tubular body extending around an axis in a circumferential direction and along the axis in an axial direction, the tubular body having a cut-out extending from a distal end of the tubular body and a flexible expansion joint extending across the cut-out in the circumferential direction. The tubular body can also have an inner surface and an outer surface, a first cut-out in the tubular body, the first cut-out extending in an axial direction from a proximal end of the tubular body and either a recess in the inner surface of the tubular body, the recess extending in the axial direction from the distal end of the tubular body, or a second cut-out in the tubular body, the second cut-out extending in the axial direction from a distal end of the tubular body.

Device for dispensing a substance having: a dispensing element through which the substance can be dispensed, a displaceable protective element for the dispensing element, a drive element that is coupled with the protective element and a feedback element which can generate a signal when or after a predefined quantity or the entire quantity of the substance to be dispensed has been dispensed characterized in that the feedback device is coupled with the drive element.
