    摘要: A drug delivery device includes a dose counting mechanism and an end-of-content or remaining-dose indication. For example, a dose expelling mechanism is coupled to a reciprocating element configured to undergo a predefined motion during each dose expelling action to allow a dose to be expelled. The predefined motion includes displacement in a first axial direction from a first position to a second position followed by displacement in a second axial direction from the second position to the first position, with a counter element being movable in the first axial direction. First and second unidirectional ratchet mechanisms prevent motion in the first axial direction and allow motion in the second axial direction of the reciprocating element relative to the counter element, and vice versa, respectively.

    摘要: An apparatus for injectate delivery includes a cartridge, a linear actuator, a rotary motor mechanically coupled the actuator, and a controller coupled to the motor. The controller controls a linear motion of the actuator by controlling an electrical input supplied to the motor in a first interval during which the motor is stationary with the linear actuator engaged with the cartridge to displace an injectate in the cartridge, a second interval following the first interval during which the controller accelerates the motor from stationary to a first speed selected to create a jet of the injectate from the cartridge with a velocity sufficient to pierce human tissue to a subcutaneous depth, a third interval during which the controller maintains the motor at or above the first speed, and a fourth interval during which the controller decelerates the motor to a second speed to deliver the injectate at the subcutaneous depth.

    摘要: A subassembly (100) of a medicament delivery device (102), the subassembly (100) comprising a housing (104) configured to contain a medicament container structure (250) from which medicament is expelled during use of the medicament delivery device (102), the housing (104) having a proximal end (106) and a distal end (108), and a drive assembly (110) comprising a plunger rod (124) at a proximal end (120) of the drive assembly (110), the plunger rod (124) being configured to, upon activation, apply an activating force on the medicament container structure (250) for expelling the medicament from the medicament delivery device (102), wherein the proximal end (106) of the housing (104) comprises an opening (112), and the distal end (108) comprises a sealable portion (114), wherein the drive assembly (110) is insertable into the housing (104) at the proximal end (106) to form the subassembly (100).

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an audible indicator for use with a drug delivery device, the audible indicator including a spring element configured to reside in one of a relaxed state and a biased state, wherein the audible indicator includes a rotatable element coupled to the spring element, and wherein the spring element releases stored energy to rotate the rotatable element such that the rotatable element impacts a surface to generate an audible signal when the spring element changes from the biased state into the relaxed state.
