摘要:
An injection device for injection of a medicament from a medicament cartridge is disclosed. The injection device includes a main housing, a piston and an end stop switch in which access to the main body for replacement of the medicament cartridge may only be obtained when the piston trips the end stop switch.

Injection devices are known for the self administration of a medicament by patients. The medicament is typically contained within a cartridge located within an injection device. It is a problem that injection devices should be small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or a hand bag without difficulty. Concurrently, the injection device must be of a size that enables a piston used to drive a cartridge bung within the cartridge to both to a maximum dispense position within the cartridge and to be fully withdrawn from the cartridge to allow for replacement of the cartridge. A drive mechanism for an injection device is disclosed comprising a piston member (10), a semi rigid belt (12) connected at a first end to the piston member (10), a belt drive means to drive the semi rigid belt (12) and a dose setting mechanism to control the driving of the semi rigid belt (12) in which the belt drive means comprises a first cable means (22) connected at a first end to a second end of the semi rigid belt (12) and at a second end to a first spool (24). An injection device comprising such a drive mechanism is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to injectors, such as pen-type injectors, that provide for administration of medicinal products from a multidose cartridge and permit a user to set a delivery dose. An injector may include a housing, a cartridge containing a medicinal product, the cartridge being retained within the housing, a dose setting mechanism to select a dose of the medicinal product to be expelled, and a dose delivery mechanism to expel the selected dose of the medicinal product. The housing may be a unitary housing within which the dose setting mechanism and the dose delivery mechanism are moveably retained.

A coded cartridge holder for use with a drug delivery device is provided. The cartridge holder includes a fastener that becomes operative based in part on a length of a cartridge or a diameter of the cartridge. In one embodiment, the cartridge holder is coupled to the drug delivery device. The cartridge holder comprises a first blocking feature. The drug delivery device includes a cartridge detector comprising a second blocking feature. This feature may be a pin, for engagement with the first blocking feature of the cartridge holder when the cartridge acts on the cartridge detector. The cartridge holder may further include a fastening mechanism configured to fasten the cartridge holder to the drug delivery device only when the second blocking feature engages the first blocking feature.

A medicament delivery device comprises a housing having a longitudinal axis, a medicament delivery mechanism within the housing, a dispense interface disengagement actuator and a detachable dispense interface. The interface is moveable between a first operative position in which the dispense interface is securely engaged and at least partially contained within the housing, and a second non-operative position in which the dispense interface is partially engaged and at least partially extending from the housing such that it can be detached from the housing manually. The travel of the dispense interface from the first position to the second position is along the longitudinal axis in a direction away from the housing and the movement from the first to the second position is actuated by the dispense interface disengagement actuator.
摘要:
The invention faces the technical problem of reducing the uncertainty over exact doses ejected from a medical device and at the same time providing a homogeneous, but controlled mixture of at least two fluids while a simple production should be maintained. A medical device comprising a first valve, a second valve, a first pre-valve ullage, a second pre-valve ullage, a post-valve ullage with a first end and a second end and a needle is presented. The first pre-valve ullage is connected to the post-valve ullage by the first valve and the second pre-valve ullage is connected to the post-valve ullage by the second valve. A first fluid is guidable from the first pre-valve ullage to the post-valve ullage and a second fluid is guidable from the second pre-valve ullage to the post-valve ullage.
摘要:
A dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device. The dispense interface comprises a main outer body and an inner body. The inner body may be configured for connection to a drug delivery device and defines a first reservoir and a second reservoir. A first piercing needle is in fluid communication with the first reservoir and positioned for piercing a first cartridge of a drug delivery device. A second piercing needle is provided and in fluid communication with the second reservoir and positioned for piercing a second cartridge contained with a drug delivery device. A manifold is positioned adjacent the inner body and comprises a fluid groove arrangement. A valve arrangement is positioned between the inner body and the manifold and controls fluid communication of a first fluid contained in the first cartridge and a second fluid contained in the second cartridge by way of the fluid groove arrangement to a holding chamber. The dispense interface may further comprise a lockout preventing dispense interface reuse.
摘要:
A system for reducing the risk of an incorrect selection or dispensing of a drug dose for use with a cartridge and a cartridge holder so as to prevent unwanted reservoir cross use. The coding system for use with the drug delivery device includes a first partial code feature and a second partial code feature. The first partial code feature and the second partial code feature cooperate to supply a combined visual indicator when the cartridge is assembled to the holder for indicating that a correct cartridge has been assembled to the holder.
摘要:
A pen-type injector is improved so that a user may select a delivery dose of medicinal product from a multidose cartridge. The injector includes a housing. a cartridge containing medicinal product retained within a housing, a piston rod, a dose selecting member to select a dose of medicinal product to be expelled, and a drive member to expel the selected dose of medicinal product. The housing is formed unitary so that the dose selecting member and the drive member are moveably retained within the housing. The injector may include ratchet means associated with the insert to ensure the piston rod only rotates in a single direction through the insert, a button located on the drive sleeve, and clutch means which upon depression of the button prevents rotation between the dose dial sleeve and the drive sleeve.
