Described is a medicament delivery device comprising a case adapted to hold a container with a medicament and having a needle, a needle sleeve telescopically coupled to the case and having a first extended position relative to the case in which the needle is covered, a retracted position relative to the case in which the needle is exposed, and a second extended position relative to the case in which the needle is covered, a first indicia disposed on the needle sleeve which is visible in the first extended position and the second extended position, and a second indicia disposed on the needle sleeve and not visible in the first extended position and visible the second extended position.

Medicament delivery device with use indicator

A method and system for detecting a limit of use of a medical device is disclosed. The method includes starting a timer of a medical device when said medical device is used for the first time, detecting the limit of use of the medical device and indicating the limit of use of the medical device. The limit of use is reached when at least one of a first criterion and a second criterion is met, wherein the first criterion is that the timer reaches or exceeds a time limit and wherein the second criterion is that at least one operation of a drive train of said medical device reaches or exceeds a limit.

Medical device and method for limiting the use of the medical device

The technical problem of the present invention to provide a medical device, which exhibits an increased safety of the device and facilitates a safe use is solved by medical device for delivering at least one drug agent, comprising a sensor, a control unit and an attachable dispense assembly, wherein the sensor is configured to detect attachment of the dispense assembly to the medical device, wherein the control unit is configured to determine at least based on a signal from the sensor whether the end of life of the dispense assembly is reached and wherein the medical device is configured to indicate the end of life of the dispense assembly. The technical problem is further solved by a method according to the invention.

Limiting life time of dispense assembly

A method and system for detecting a limit of use of a medical device is disclosed. The method includes starting a timer of a medical device when the medical device is used for the first time, detecting the limit of use of the medical device and indicating the limit of use of the medical device. The limit of use is reached when at least one of a first criterion and a second criterion is met, wherein the first criterion is that the timer reaches or exceeds a time limit and wherein the second criterion is that at least one operation of a drive train of said medical device reaches or exceeds a limit.

A skin attachable drug injection device (), comprising an accelerometer () able to detect the user tapping against the housing () of the device and to generate an electrical signal to the device controller (), which recognizes the signal as a user request for information regarding the ongoing delivery of the medicament, and a transmitter () which in response wirelessly transmits said information (e.g. the expected remaining during of the injection) to a separate portable user device having a display (e.g. mobile phone). A user carrying the injection device under clothing can thus receive feedback about the status of the injection in a discreet way.

Triggering injection status information display on a mobile device via tapping the housing of a skin-attachable drug injection device

A medicament delivery device including at least one contact sensor configured to output a signal representing a state of partial detachment of the device from an injection site, and an alert output module configured to output an alert based on the signal received from the at least one contact sensor.

Skin-attachable drug injection device with detachment sensor

An apparatus for automatic ejection of a fluid includes a drive train for automatically ejecting the fluid from a fluid reservoir through an ejection channel, and a control unit for controlling the apparatus. The control unit is configured to detect failures of drive train actuation steps, during which the drive train is actuated for priming or fluid dose ejection. The control unit is further configured to control the apparatus as a function of an actuation step failure number. The actuation step failure number is the number of failed drive train actuation steps since the last successful drive train actuation step.
