A drug delivery assembly comprising an indicator adapted to move during expelling of a dose amount of drug, the amount of movement being indicative of the size of the expelled dose amount, and electronic tracking sensor circuitry adapted to with pre-determined intervals to change the operative state from a sleep state to a low-power detection state and back to the sleep state. When in the detection state, the electronic sensor circuitry is adapted to detect motion of an activation component, and if motion of the activation component is detected, then change the operative state from the low-power detection state to a high-power measuring state in which the amount of motion of the indicator relative to the tracking means can be determined.

An assembly comprises an electric consumer, an electric voltage source adapted to power the electric consumer, and user operated actuation means. The electric voltage source is operatable between a first state in which a first voltage is generated and a second state in which a second higher voltage is generated. The user operated actuation means is operatable from a first to a second state and adapted to thereby operate the electric voltage source from the first to the second state, and operatable from the second state to the first state and adapted to thereby operate the electric voltage source from the second to the first state.

Power efficient electronic device

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.

Drug delivery device with time indicator feature

A system comprising first and second drug delivery devices () based on the same technology platform, each comprising a main portion () with a reservoir holding a type of drug, a drug outlet, and drug expelling means for expelling drug from the reservoir through the drug outlet, as well as a cap () releasably mountable to the main portion to enclose the drug outlet, each cap comprising a unique user-identifiable marking indicating the corresponding type of drug. The cap and main portion of each drug delivery device comprise a pair of corresponding key structures preventing the first cap from being mounted on the second main portion, and the second cap from being mounted on the first main portion.

Drug delivery system and device with cap function

System comprising a sensor assembly () adapted to measure a magnetic field, and a moveable element () adapted to be moved relative to the sensor assembly between two positions by a combined axial and rotational movement, the rotational movement having a pre-determined relationship to the axial movement. A magnet () is mounted to the moveable element and configured to generate a spatial magnetic field which relative to the sensor assembly varies corresponding to both the axial and rotational movement of the magnet and thus the moveable element. A processor is configured to determine on the basis of measured values for the magnetic field an axial position of the moveable element.

A regular metallic, cylindrical tubular needle cannula () is subjected to a metal etching liquid () in the inside lumen () thereby increasing the inside diameter and enhancing the flow properties while maintaining the outside appearance. The inside diameter is only increased over a controlled length () of the full length of the needle cannula () leaving sufficient length and wall thickness to also taper the outside diameter.

Method for chemical etching of a needle cannula

A needle magazine () attachable to an injection device containing a liquid drug and which magazine () comprises a main part () and revolving part () which can be rotated to bring a selected needle cannula () into an injection position. The magazine () is provided with a centrally located tube () for penetrating into the injection device and has an internal conduit () for guiding the liquid drug from the tube () and to a peripheral area of the magazine (). In this peripheral area a plurality of needle cannulae () are provided which needle cannulae () successively can be brought into liquid communication with the liquid drug in the conduit () by axial movement of the revolving part ().

The present invention relates to an indicating device for use with medical injection devices for administering a drug into the body of a subject user wherein the indicating device is configured for indicating after administration that a dose of the drug actually has been administered and for maintaining this indication until lapse of a pre-defined time interval. The time delay indicator disclosed is based on a mechanical time delay device and includes a visual indicator that is controlled by the mechanical time delay device for signalling the status of the device during lapse of the pre-defined time interval.

Medical injection device with time delay indicator

The present invention relates to a medical injection device () for use in combination with a medicament filled cartridge (), the injection device being provided with a spring-assisted injecting mechanism where energy released from the spring moves a plunger () of a held cartridge (). Sensor circuitry is adapted to detect speed related data during injection so at to detect an abnormal speed condition, such as a needle blocking condition, a priming condition or an air purge condition.
