The present disclosure relates to an injection device, in particular a micro dose injection device such as, for example, an ophthalmic injection device. An example device comprises a rotatable plunger; a solution receptacle having a first end configured to slidably receive the rotatable plunger and a second end configured to dispense solution contained in the solution receptacle; a first stop member configured to prevent the rotatable plunger from being slidably displaced to a second position while the rotatable plunger is at a first position and in a first orientation; and a second stop member configured to prevent the rotatable plunger from rotating in a first direction about the first axis while the rotatable plunger is at the first position and in the first orientation, wherein slidably displacing the rotatable plunger from the first position to the second position dispenses a quantity of the solution contained in the solution receptacle.

An electronic add-on module for an injection device includes a longitudinal axis and a discharge button arranged at a proximal end and configured to be movable in a distal direction along the longitudinal axis for discharging a liquid medication out of a container of the injection device. The add-on module includes a sensor unit, a receiving region adapted to the shape of the housing of the injection device for placing on along the longitudinal axis thereof, and a holding mechanism configured to releasably secure the add-on module against moving axially relative to the injection device. The receiving region is configured such that the discharge button can be accessed or contacted when the add-on module is on the injection device. The add-on module comprises a release element configured to be moved solely on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis in a release movement for releasing the holding mechanism.

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 invention concerns improvements in needle-free devices for delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents, such as solid dose drugs, including vaccines. The needle-free device disclosed herein comprises novel structural arrangements and modes of actuation and operation, resulting in enhanced functionality and benefits to the user and/or patient.

An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M) is presented having an elongate case arranged to be held by a user, a tubular chassis telescoped in the case and biased against the case so as to protrude from the case. The injector also includes a syringe with a hollow injection needle, a drive spring and a plunger for forwarding load of the drive spring to a stopper of the syringe. A trigger button is distally arranged in or on the case, wherein the trigger button is initially coupled to the case in a manner to protrude distally from the case and interlocked to the chassis in a manner preventing the trigger button from disengaging the case.

An injection device includes a housing; a receptacle for injection fluid; a dosing piston to press out the injection fluid; a feed part connected to the dosing piston via a first threaded connection; a slide having a thread of a second threaded connection; and, a setting part having a thread of a third threaded connection and configured to set an amount of injection fluid to be dispensed. The setting part moves in the distal direction by virtue of the third threaded connection when the amount of injection fluid to be dispensed is being set. The setting part can move in the proximal direction when the injection fluid is pressed out. A latching unit defines a latching position of the setting part and acts between the setting part and housing. Each latching position has an unequivocal rotational position of the setting part in relation to the housing assigned thereto.

An injector for injecting a medicament in a patient. The injector includes a container comprising a fluid chamber containing a first volume of a medicament, and an injection conduit associated with the fluid chamber for defining a fluid pathway therefrom to inject the medicament from the fluid chamber through the injection conduit to an injection location. The injector also includes a firing mechanism associated with the fluid chamber for expelling the medicament from the fluid chamber through the injection conduit, arid a volume-control mechanism operable to control a fraction of the first volume of medicament that is injected when the firing mechanism is actuated to inject the medicament.

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 switch mounted to the printed circuit board, and a controller in communication with the switch. The controller is configured to generate a first count of a set of signals using a first counting technique, generate a second count of the set of signals using a second counting technique, and determine, based on the first and second count, reliability data of the first and/or second count. The controller can connect, using a wireless communication module, to a remote computing device to wirelessly communicate with the remote computing device over an unencrypted wireless communication channel, and transmit, using the wireless communication module, encrypted data to the remote computing device.

A drug delivery device is disclosed, wherein the device comprises a housing; a product container arranged in the housing; a plunger rod partially disposed inside the product container; and a thumb pad configured to receive a portion of the plunger rod, wherein the thumb pad and the plunger rod are configured to transition from a first state to a second state, wherein at the first state, the plunger rod is prevented from moving in a proximal direction, and at the second state, the plunger rod moves freely in a proximal direction.

An auto-injector for administering a dose of a liquid medicament (M) is presented having an elongate case, a carrier subassembly comprising a tubular carrier slidably arranged inside the case, where the carrier adapted to contain a syringe with a hollow injection needle. The injector also has, a drive spring and a plunger for forwarding load of the drive spring to a stopper of the syringe, wherein the syringe is lockable for joint axial translation with the carrier. A control spring is arranged around the carrier for translating the carrier in a proximal direction (P) for advancing the needle beyond a proximal end of the auto-injector, and a trigger button is used for releasing the control spring on actuation.
