Logging device for drug delivery device

An add-on logging device (100, 300) mounted to a drug delivery device is turned on when the cap is removed. After a given amount of time in inactivity the sensor means of the add-on device is turned off automatically to save energy. If the user takes a dose of drug this is not detected as the add-on device is only turned on when the cap is removed. According to the present invention a warning message is provided when the cap is re-mounted after the sensor means has been turned off automatically, the warning message indicating to a user that an expelled dose may not have been detected.

An Injection Needle Assembly for an Injection Device and an Injection Device Comprising Such Assembly

An injection needle assembly (50) for an injection device, comprising: a) a needle cannula (3) attached to a needle hub (4) and defining a pointed tip at a free end (3a, 3b), and b) a needle cover (10, 10a, 10b) forming an axially extending elongated flexible enclosure accommodating the needle cannula (3). The needle cover (10, 10a, 10b) is configured to axially collapse and become penetrated by the needle cannula (3) when a penetration force is applied to the needle cover. The needle cover (10, 10a, 10b) defines a shaft section (11a) and a bulb section (11b). The shaft section (11a) encircles the needle cannula (3) and extends axially from the needle hub (4) to the bulb section (11b). The shaft section (11a) comprises a collapsible wall area (15) having wall thickness t.sub.1 less than a predefined wall thickness t.sub.1,lim to provide radial deformability for abutting contact with the needle cannula (3). The bulb section (11b) comprises a wall area (17a, 17b) having a wall thickness t.sub.2 being greater than said predefined wall thickness t.sub.1,lim, and further defines a central end wall area (20) having a wall thickness t.sub.3 smaller than the wall thickness t.sub.2. In an initial non-penet-rated state, the needle cover (10, 10a, 10b) assumes a first configuration wherein the wall areas of the bulb section (11b) and the wall areas of the shaft section (11a) are spaced apart from the needle cannula (3).

The injection device is capable of setting and delivering a certain preset dose.

INJECTION NEEDLE ASSEMBLY
20180008785 · 2018-01-11 ·

The present invention relates to an injection needle assembly having opposite distal and proximal ends, and wherein the assembly comprises an injection needle having proximal and distal pointed ends, wherein the distal pointed end is arranged to penetrate a membrane arranged at the proximal end of a medicament container; a tubular needle holder comprising distal engagement means and proximal engagement means; a tubular cap comprising proximal outer engagement means and proximal inner engagement means; a tubular needle cover comprising first engagement means arranged to cooperate with the proximal engagement means, and second engagement means arranged to cooperate with the proximal outer engagement means of the cap; characterized in that said needle cover is arranged to be displaced from a first position wherein the second engagement means and the proximal outer engagement means prevents the needle cover and the needle holder to be axially displaced by a linear displacement, to a second position wherein the needle cover and the needle holder are distally displaced, and wherein the proximal inner engagement means of the cap and the distal engagement means of the needle holder prevents the needle holder to be proximally displaced but allows the needle cover to be distally displaced.

INFUSION DEVICE WITH RELEASABLE FLUID CONNECTOR

An infusion set system includes a base and a fluid connector removably coupleable thereto. The fluid connector includes a fluid path portion and at least one connector latch displaceably connected to the fluid path portion and displaceable to a latching position in which at least a portion of the connector latch extends into the fluid path portion, which includes a cannula extending from a top interior surface thereof, and a plurality of internal sidewalls corresponding to at least two of a plurality of flat side surfaces of at least one of a base section and a base latch, thereby facilitating connection between the base and the fluid connector in a plurality of discrete rotational connecting positions. When the fluid connector is locked to the base, the at least one connector latch engages a base latching portion of the base and restricts proximal displacement of the fluid connector.

NEEDLE RETRACTION MEDICAL DEVICE
20180008786 · 2018-01-11 ·

A needle retraction medical device including a hollow body (10) and a plunger (20). The hollow body (10) has a first end (11) provided with a needle mounting hub (13) and a plurality of releasable latches (15) holding the needle mounting hub (13) against spring (14) bias. The latches (15) are formed integrally with the hollow body (10) and project longitudinally inside the hollow body (10) from a proximal end at or adjacent the first end (11) of the hollow body (10) to a free end. A respective opening (35) is provided in the body (10) radially inwards of each of the latches (15). The plunger (20) has a forward end insertable into the body (10) from a second end thereof, a hollow interior and a closed rear end. The plunger front end is operable, upon insertion of the plunger (20) into the body (10), to deflect the latches (15) radially outwards and thereby release the needle mounting hub (13) from the latches (15) so that the hub (13) together with the needle mounted thereby retract under spring action into the hollow interior of the plunger (20). A respective opening (30) is also provided in the hollow body (10) radially outwards of at least some of the latches (15) so that each such latch (15) connects to the material of the body (10) only at each side of its proximal end.
