An autoinjector includes a housing, a product container, a torsion spring, a drive element, and a propulsion element. In order to discharge liquid out of the product container, the torsion spring rotates the drive element, and the rotating drive element produces a propulsive movement of the propulsion element and of a piston in the product container. A rotation sensor is configured for an alternating continuous detection of at least two rotational positions per revolution of the drive element during the discharge process, and a processor unit is configured for determining the axial position of the piston in the product container from the detected rotational positions.

A syringe system includes a syringe and a pressurization device for a syringe. The pressurization device for a syringe is configured so that the plunger advances by a forward rotation of the plunger, and the plunger retracts by a reverse rotation of the plunger. The plunger is advanceable by pressing the gasket at the time of the forward rotation and is retractable with respect to the barrel without pulling the gasket in the proximal end direction at the time of the reverse rotation.

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.

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.

A method and system for providing a drug delivery device. The drug delivery device comprises a dose setting mechanism comprising a spindle and a cartridge holder coupled to the dose setting mechanism. The cartridge holder comprising a cartridge having a movable bung at one end of the cartridge. The cartridge holder must be rotated before a dose may set with the dose setting mechanism.

This disclosure relates to pre-filled syringes and their methods for use and injection. The embodiments provide a pre-filled syringe system for controlled depth of injection in a subject, including a pre-filled syringe having a needle tip and a plunger for injecting the contents of the pre-filled syringe; a housing for holding the pre-filled syringe and needle tip in a defined position for a depth of injection; and a needle shield mounted on the housing for releasable movement from a locked injection position to a shield position, wherein after the needle shield is moved into the locked injection position with the needle tip extended out of the needle shield and pre-filled syringe system, the needle can be inserted into the subject at a defined depth of injection. The embodiments further provide methods of injecting a subject using a pre-filled syringe system, including providing a pre-filled syringe system having a housing, a needle shield mounted on the housing, and a pre-filled syringe with a needle tip; moving the needle shield mounted on the housing into a locked injection position to extend the needle lip of the pre-filled syringe and system at a defined length out of the needle shield and prc-filled syringe system; inserting the needle tip of the pre-filled syringe and system into a subject at a defined injection depth, and injecting the contents of the pre-filled syringe and system into the subject.

A drug delivery device is provided comprising a dose setting mechanism having a spindle and a cartridge holder coupled to the dose setting mechanism. The cartridge holder comprising a cartridge having a movable bung at one end of the cartridge. The cartridge holder must be rotated before a dose may set with the dose setting mechanism.

Described is an autoinjector comprising a front case having a first rib and a second rib, and a rear case telescopically coupled to the front case and having latch arms adapted to engage the first rib and the second rib. When the front case is in a first position relative to rear case, the latch arms are engaged to the first rib. When the latch arms disengage the first rib, the front case translates to a second position relative to the rear case, an axial distance between the front case and the rear case increases relative to the first position, the latch arms engage the second rib.

The present disclosure refers to a housing element for a drug delivery device. The housing element comprises longitudinal axis and defines an interior space for receiving components of a drive mechanism of the drug delivery device and at least a portion of a cartridge of the drug delivery device. The housing element comprises an engagement feature for axially constraining the housing element to a cartridge holder of the drug delivery device. In order to constrain the cartridge in the housing element, it further comprises at least one crush web protruding radially inwards into the interior space. The at least one crush web is angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the housing element by at least 3° such that when the cartridge is introduced into the interior space the at least one crush web folds radially outwards.

An injection device adapted for injecting a durable or pre-filled pen device along an injection direction defining an injection axis. The injection device is provided with a certain holder and locking mechanism for fixing and holding a pen device in a correct position for injection into human skin.
