A medication delivery device is equipped with a sensing system to determine the amount of a dose set and/or delivered by operation of the device. Such amount is determined based on the sensing of relative rotational and/or axial movements during dose setting or delivery between members of the medication delivery device, where the sensed movements are correlated as applicable to the amount of the dose set. The device includes one or more wiper assemblies coupled to one or more rotatable device members. Sensing bands are coupled to another device member, and arranged in contacting relationship with wipers. During relative rotation and/or axial movement between the device members, each sensing band is operable to generate an output associated with the relative angular and/or linear position of the wiper along an operational angular length of the sensing bands indicative of relative rotational positions of the device members.

Medication delivery device with sensing system

A medication delivery device with a sensing system to determine at least one of a dose set and a dose delivery. The sensing system is operable to detect relative rotational positions of first and second members of the device which are indicative of at least one of an amount of a dose set and an amount of a dose delivered by operation of the device, and generate outputs correlated to such relative rotational positions. The system includes a wiper coupled to the first member, and a sensing band coupled to the second member for physically contacting the wiper as the second member rotates relative to the first member. A controller electrically communicates with the sensing system to determine, based on the generated outputs of the sensing system, at least one of the amount of the dose set and the amount of the dose delivered by operation of the device.

An apparatus for tissue ablation using radiofrequency energy comprises a housing extending from a first end to a second end. One or more pipes extend from the first end and each of the one or more pipes terminates at a tip. Each tip includes a light source operable to provide light. The apparatus further comprises a probe extending from some of the one or more pipes. Each probe is operable to deliver RF energy and to extend from or retract into the tip.
