An apparatus is disclosed, comprising a detector unit comprising a detector configured to detect an actuation action performable via the detector unit to an actuation button of a medical device to cause the medical device to eject at least a portion of a medicament comprised in the medical device. The detector is configured to detect the actuation action based on a detection of a force and/or a touch applied to the detector unit as part of the actuation action. The apparatus further comprises an electric unit connected to the detector and configured to store and/or provide information related to the detected actuation action. Furthermore, an according method and a computer program for controlling this method are disclosed.

Device and method for detecting an actuation action performable with a medical device

The present invention relates to a drive mechanism for a drug delivery device, comprising: a piston rod to operably engage with a piston of a cartridge to displace the piston in a distal direction during a dose dispensing action, at least one actuation member mechanically coupled with the piston rod to induce a distally directed displacement of the piston rod when actuated by a user, a control to ascertain at least one predefined condition of use, and at least one interlock member coupled with the control to mechanically obstruct displacement of the piston rod if the condition of use is not fulfilled.

Pen-type drug injection device with controller and time lock-out mechanism for its drive

The present disclosure relates to a container for a liquid medicament, comprising at least one flexible casing forming at least one cavity configured to receive the medicament, wherein the casing comprises a first wall portion and a second wall portion, wherein the second wall portion is located opposite to the first wall portion, at least a first outlet in fluid connection with the cavity and extending through the casing and multiple filaments extending through the cavity wherein each of the multiple filaments comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the second end is opposite to the first end, and wherein each of the first ends of the filaments are connected to the first wall portion and each of the second ends of the filaments are connected to the second wall portion.

Container for a liquid medicament

The present invention relates to a method of testing the mechanical integrity of a cartridge () containing a medicament and being arranged inside a drug delivery device (). The invention also relates to a testing arrangement and to a respective drug delivery device, wherein the method comprises the steps of: acoustically stimulating the cartridge (), measuring of the cartridge's () acoustic response () to the acoustic stimulation (), comparing the acoustic response () with a standard response () of an intact cartridge (), and determining the mechanical integrity of the cartridge () on the basis of the comparison.

Method and arrangement for acoustically testing the mechanical integrity of a cartridge

The present invention relates to a sensor arrangement to monitor at least one ambient parameter, the sensor arrangement comprising: a first layer exhibiting a first electrical conductivity, and at least a second layer exhibiting a second electrical conductivity different than the first electrical conductivity and being at least partially in direct contact with the first layer, wherein the first and the second layer in an initial configuration comprise different concentrations of a diffusible component, having an impact on the conductivity of the first and/or the second layer.

Sensor arrangement for a packaging of a medicament

A testing device for testing the mechanical integrity of a hollow breakable item includes a squeezable element to radially abut with a sidewall portion of the breakable item. The testing device further includes a sleeve extending in an axial direction to receive the sidewall portion of the breakable item and having a first contact surface to axially engage with the squeezable element. The testing device also includes a plunger displaceable in axial direction relative to the sleeve and having a second contact surface to axially engage with the squeezable element. The squeezable element is axially squeezable by a relative displacement of plunger and sleeve to increase the squeezable element's radial expansion and to apply radially directed pressure to the breakable item's sidewall portion.

Device and method for testing the mechanical integrity of cartridges for liquid medicaments

The present invention relates to a drug delivery device for dispensing a dose of a medicament, comprising: a first housing component, and a second housing component welded with the first housing component by at least one induction heatable component.

Welded housing components of a drug delivery device

The present invention relates to an assembly line to assemble a medical device and comprising at least one communication member adapted to communicate with a corresponding communication member of an initial component of the device, wherein the assembly line comprises at least one assembly stage adapted to conduct at least one step of assembly being at least influenced by device-related data obtained from the component.
