A drive mechanism for a medication delivery device containing a resilient member and having a rotation member configured to be rotated in a first direction during setting of a dose of a medication and to be rotated in a second direction during delivery of the dose, where the rotation member is coupled to a drive member that is coupled to a piston rod such that on dose delivery the piston rod is displaced in a distal direction to dispense a medicament and where the resilient member prevents movement of the drive member and the piston rod during dose setting.

The present disclosure concerns an indication mechanism for an automatic applicator, particularly for insulin or other liquid preparations, particularly for multiple injection administration of set doses of a medicine from an exchangeable container, for example for the self-application of insulin by diabetes patients. An indication mechanism for an automatic applicator, having an assembly of at least two barrels movably coupled to each other has an indication barrel mounted on the driving barrel contains only marking on its external surface and is co-axially connected to the pull-push control nut.

The present disclosure relates to a dosing mechanism for a drug delivery device for selecting and dispensing a number of user-variable doses of a medicament. The dosing mechanism comprises a housing, a piston rod, and a driving mechanism for rotating the piston rod and/or a movement application component, which is directly engaged with the piston rod, in a dispense rotational direction with respect to the housing for dose dispense. The dosing mechanism further comprises a rotational end stop mechanism for terminating dose dispense with a first engagement means, which is rotationally fixed with respect to the piston rod and/or the movement application component, and a second engagement means, which is prevented from rotation with respect to the housing in the dispense rotational direction at an end of dose dispense. In order to improve the dose delivery accuracy, the second engagement means directly engages the first engagement means. disclosure

A device for administering needle-free subcutaneous treatment to a patient comprises an actuator configured to deliver a plurality of volumes of a treatment at a plurality of locations on a body of the patient; at least one imaging device configured to detect a movement of the needle-free device from a first location on the body of the patient to a second location on the body of the patient; and a processor configured to determine the second location on the body of the device relative to the first location from the movement of the needle-free device relative to the first location on the body, the processor further configured to determine a volume of the plurality of volumes of the treatment to deliver to the body of the patient at the second location.

A syringe includes a dosage setter operatively coupled to a plunger rod and comprising a rotatable body that comprises a set of one or more stops for engaging the set of one or more protrusions of the plunger rod depending on at least a rotational position of the set of one or more stops relative to the set of one or more protrusions, wherein a first rotational adjustment associated with the dosage setter is configured to set a first dosage increment by adjusting a relative axial position between the rotatable body and the plunger rod, and a second rotational adjustment associated with the dosage setting assembly is configured to set a second dosage increment that is larger than the first dosage increment by adjusting a relative rotational alignment between the set of one or more stops and the set of one or more protrusions.

A delivery device for delivering a medical fluid to a patient has a housing configured for receiving a container at least partially filled with the medical fluid. The delivery device further has a drive mechanism associated with the housing configured for delivering the medical fluid from the container to the patient in a dosing procedure. The delivery device further has a module configured for detecting at least one of a property of the dosing procedure and a property of the medical fluid. The module has at least one dose detection sensor configured for detecting an initiation, progression, and completion of the dosing procedure based on a position of a stopper within the container. The module further has at least one temperature sensor configured for measuring a temperature of the medical fluid within the container based on a temperature of the container.

A medicament delivery device includes a housing configured to receive a container of medicament and a piston rod moveable within the housing and configured to engage a container of medicament when received within the housing. The medicament delivery device further includes a position-sensing mechanism configured to detect the position of the piston rod within the housing. The position-sensing mechanism includes a first light source configured to emit light, a first sensor disposed proximate the first light source and configured to receive light emitted by the first light source, and a blocking member moveable between the first light source and the first sensor. The first sensor is configured to detect the light pattern received to determine the position of the piston rod within the housing.

A method of administering subcutaneous treatment to a patient is provided. The method includes delivering, by a needle-free injection device, a first volume of a treatment at a first location on a surface of a body of the patient; detecting a movement of the needle-free injection device relative to the first location; determining, from the movement of the needle-free injection device relative to the first location, a second location of the needle-free injection device relative to the first location; determining a second volume of the treatment to deliver at the surface of the body of the patient at the second location; and delivering, by the needle-free injection device, the second volume of the treatment at the second location on the surface of the body of the patient.

A drug delivery device comprising: a housing; a cylindrical member rotatably supported within the housing; and a plurality of sensors; wherein: the outer surface of the cylindrical member is provided with a single track, the track forming an encoder and having a plurality of first track segments and a plurality of second track segments arranged along the length of the track which are respectively capable of inducing first and second responses in the sensors; and in each rotational position of the cylindrical member relative to the housing at least one different first track segment is capable of inducing a first response in at least one said sensor, thereby enabling the rotational position of the cylindrical member relative to the housing to be determined.

A medical delivery device (3) comprises a rod element having a stem with a longitudinal axis and a first thread arrangement, a dosage member (34) comprising a second thread arrangement and a chamber body, a dial unit (31), and a coupling structure coupling the dial unit (31) to the dosage member (34). The stem of the rod element extends into the chamber body of the dosage member (34). In a dosing status of the medical delivery device (3), the first thread arrangement of the rod element engages the second thread arrangement of the dosage member (34). Further, in the dosing status, the rod element is movable along its longitudinal axis relative to the dosage member (34) by the first thread arrangement of the rod element and the second thread arrangement of the dosage member (34) travelling along each other such that a volume of a dosage chamber in the interior of the chamber body of the dosage member (34) is varied. Still further, in the dosing status rotation of the dial unit (31) applies a torsional force to the dosage member (34) via the coupling structure, which torsional force rotates the dosage member (34) such that the second thread arrangement of the dosage member (34) and the first thread arrangement of the stem of the rod element travel along each other. The coupling structure has an overload protection mechanism (313, 314, 322, 324) configured to prevent that the torsional force applied by the dial unit (31) to the dosage member (34) exceeds a predefined threshold force.
