摘要:
The application concerns an injection device for apportioning set doses of a drug from a reservoir (40) to a subject. The injection device comprises a housing having an interior thread (101,112) formed as an outwardly pointing thread (101,112) carried on an upstanding tower centrally located in the pen shaped device. This outwardly pointing thread (101,112) forms a first thread connection with the interior thread of the rotatable scale drum (90). The injection device further comprises a driver (70) for moving the piston rod (120) forward when moved axially. The driver (70) operates the piston rod (120) through a second thread connection having a pitch different than the first thread connection.

An injection device with a dose delivering mechanism being adapted to provide a non-visual, e.g. audible and/or tactile, feedback signal when a set dose has been at least substantially injected. A first and a second part of the injection device are adapted to perform a relative rotational movement with respect to each other. The relative rotational movement causes at least two parts of the injection device to abut or engage, and this abutment or engagement causes the non-visual feedback signal to be generated. A very distinct and precise feedback is provided as compared to prior art axial solutions because the generation of the feedback signal is initiated by the relative rotational movement. Feedback signal may be generated by a change in a rotational velocity of at least one part, e.g. by changing the pitch of a threaded portion or by engaging a non-rotating part and a rotating part, thereby causing the non-rotating part to start rotating. May alternatively be generated by building up and releasing a tension. The injection device is suitable for injecting insulin.
摘要:
A limiting mechanism which prevents the setting of a dose, which exceeds the amount of liquid left in a cartridge of an injection device is disclosed. The injection device is the type where a dose is set by rotating a dose setting member relative to a driver and away from a fixed stop in the injection device. The dose setting member interfaces the driver such that the dose setting member can be rotated in one direction without rotating the driver. The dose is injected by rotating back the dose setting member which during the backward rotation carries the driver with it. Rotating the driver causes the piston rod to move forward inside the cartridge and expel some of the liquid contained in the cartridge. The driver is provided with a track having a length which is related to the total amount of liquid in the cartridge and which track is engaged by a track follower coupled to the dose setting member to follow rotation of this dose setting member. Each time a dose is set and injected, the track follower moves further into the track. When the track follower reaches the end of the track the dose setting member cannot be rotated further, and a dose larger than the remaining liquid in the cartridge cannot be set.

摘要:
A drug delivery device is provided comprising a housing having an exterior surface, a drug-filled reservoir with an outlet, drug expelling means, and a flexible sheet. On the flexible sheet is formed or mounted input means adapted to be actuated corresponding to an event indicative of drug being expelled, a display adapted to display a time parameter, a processor, and an energy source. The processor is adapted to, based on input from the detection means, control the display to display a time parameter related to the time the event was detected, and the flexible sheet is attached at least in part to the outer surface of the housing.
摘要:
The present invention relates to injection devices for injecting a medicament from a cartridge (600) through a needle cannula (510). The injection device (100) includes an actuator (330, 360) for driving a piston driver (310) and includes an end of stroke limiter (341, 611). When the piston driver (310) is arrested by the end of stroke limiter (341, 611) a shielding driver (370) is automatically triggered to actively shift the needle cannula (510) into a shielded state. The injection device may include a fluid dispensing interruption mechanism that automatically interrupts fluid flow when the piston driver has moved a predetermined stroke length. The injection device may also include a single pre-stressed spring acting exclusively in a linear compression mode or exclusively in a torsion mode and adapted to sequentially drive the device to enable fully automatic operation. The invention also relates to a method of sterilizing a needle cannula assembly.
摘要:
A transfer system (100, 100', 100'') adapted to allow first contents of a first container (20) and second contents of a second container (30) to mix to form a material. The mixed material is retrieved to a syringe (40). The transfer system (100, 100', 100'') comprises first (17) and second (18) flow control members for controlling fluid flow between the containers (20, 30) and the syringe (40). The invention further relates to a drug mixing kit comprising a container unit containing first and second containers, and a transfer unit comprising ports for receiving the containers and a syringe and a number of flow channels. The container unit and the transfer unit are adapted to be coupled together to form a drug mixing kit.
