Abstract:
The present invention relates to drive mechanisms suitable for use in drug delivery devices, in particular pen-type injectors, wherein a number of pre-set doses of medicinal product can be administered. In particular, the present invention relates to such drug delivery devices where a user may activate the drug delivery device.
Abstract:
A medication delivery device (1) comprises a housing (4) having a proximal end (P) and a distal end (D), a cartridge (3) for holding a medication (M), the cartridge (3) having an outlet (2), a moveable piston (5) being retained within the cartridge (3), a drive member (17) moveable in a proximal direction with respect to the housing (4) for setting a dose of medication (M) to be delivered and in the distal direction with respect to the housing (4) for delivering the dose and a piston rod (10) adapted to drive the piston (5) in a distal direction with respect to the cartridge (3) for delivering the dose. The drive member (17) is releasably coupled to the piston rod (10). The medication delivery device (1) further comprises a resilient member (21) which is arranged to move the drive member (17) in the proximal direction with respect to the housing (4) after dose delivery, thereby reducing pressure of the piston rod (10) on the piston (5).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a drug delivery (5) comprising a housing (10) with a proximal end (28) and a distal end (22), a cartridge holder (14) adapted to retain a cartridge, the cartridge holder (14) being secured to the housing (10) and having an at least partially transparent side wall, and a cap (40) being capable of covering the distal end (22) of the drug delivery device, being rotationally fixed with respect to the housing (10) and comprising a window aperture (44), the window aperture (44) being capable of displaying information revealed by the cartridge holder (14). Furthermore, using a cap (40) for covering the distal end (22) of the drug delivery device (5) is disclosed.
Abstract:
A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.
