Disclosed is an auto injector and a method for administering a medicament. The auto injector comprising: a housing; a cartridge receiver; a drive module coupled to move a plunger rod configured to move a first stopper; a temperature sensor configured to provide a temperature signal indicative of the temperature of the medicament in the cartridge; a processing unit configured to: receive the temperature signal; control the drive module to move the plunger rod from a first plunger rod position to a mix plunger rod position wherein the movement from the first plunger rod position to the mix plunger rod position is based on the temperature signal.

Disclosed is a method and an auto-injector for administering a medicament. The auto injector comprising: a housing; a cartridge receiver configured to receive a cartridge comprising a first stopper; a drive module coupled to move a plunger rod between a retracted plunger rod position and an extended plunger rod position, the plunger rod being configured to move the first stopper; a resistance sensor configured to provide a resistance signal indicative of resistance against movement of the plunger rod; and a processing unit coupled to the drive module and to the resistance sensor. The processing unit being configured to: control the drive module to move the plunger rod towards the extended plunger rod position with a plunger rod speed; determine plunger rod position; receive the resistance signal; and control the drive module to adjust movement of the plunger rod if the resistance signal is indicative of resistance against movement of the plunger rod above a high resistance threshold, wherein the high resistance threshold is based on the plunger rod position.

A system () for establishing wireless communication between at least one medical device () having a predefined unique identification (ID) and at least one communication unit () includes a communication unit () provided with a primary two-way wireless data communication interface () including systems for wirelessly performing primary two-way data communication, including receiving and transmitting information (). The system () includes systems for securing that the primary two-way wireless data communication can be carried out if and only if the communication unit () positively and in advance has identified the predefined unique identification (ID) of the medical device (). The system () includes secondary one-way wireless communication systems () configured for carrying out identification of the predefined unique identification (ID) of the medical device () through secondary wireless communication.

A dry powder or aerosol inhaler having attached thereto, in a detachable manner, a sound/vibration sensor adapted to sense sound/vibration in the interval of 100-3000 Hz and there from derive a parameter of a flow in a flow path of the inhaler. The sensor does not interfere with the flow path of the inhaler.

The present invention relates to an auto injector, e.g. a disposable auto injector, that can be safely operated for automatic injection of a dose of medication by the recipient of the medication, having a housing for accommodation of a container with at least one compartment for accommodation of a medicament to be injected and a needle mounting site for user mounting of a needle covered by a needle cap before injection, and a needle shield that is accommodated in the housing in a retracted position before mounting of the needle and that is configured to be automatically moved forward to a protruded position by a needle shield driver upon mounting of the needle and removal of the needle cap.

A Breath Actuated Inhaler having a canister with a medication dispensed when compressing the canister. Compression of the canister is prevented by a mechanism only allowing compression when an air flow is sufficient to ensure dispensing of the medication in the lungs/throat of the person. No latch or blocking mechanism is provided so that any force exerted by the person is, at all times, directed to the canister or preventing mechanism so that when no force is exerted by the user, no force is exerted in the inhaler. Prolonged exertion of such force could otherwise cause dimension changes and subsequent uncertainty of the dose size.
