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 disposable delivery assembly for a drug delivery device to dispense a liquid medicament, the delivery assembly comprising:

Disposable delivery assembly for a drug delivery device

A disposable cartridge for a drug delivery device includes a flexible bag to accommodate a liquid medicament and having an opening adjacent to a sidewall, a socket having a fluid channel in fluid communication with a cartridge fluid coupling, and a housing covering at least a portion of the flexible bag and having a receptacle to receive the socket with the flexible bag. The socket extends into the opening of the flexible bag. The flexible bag's sidewall is fixed between the socket and the receptacle.

Disposable cartridge for a drug delivery 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.

The present invention relates to a disposable delivery assembly for a drug delivery device to dispense a liquid medicament, the delivery assembly comprising: a disposable injector () comprising an injection needle (), a flexible tube () and an injector fluid coupling (), wherein the injection needle () is in fluid communication with the fluid coupling () via the flexible tube (), a disposable cartridge () comprising a reservoir () at least partially filled with the liquid medicament and comprising a cartridge fluid coupling () in fluid communication with the reservoir (), wherein the injector () and the cartridge () are mechanically interconnected in an undeployed configuration (), in which the injector fluid coupling () and the cartridge fluid coupling () are disconnected, and&#x2014;wherein the cartridge () is displaceable relative to the injector () into a deployed configuration (), in which the injector fluid coupling () and the cartridge fluid coupling () are in fluid communication.

The present invention relates to a drug delivery device for dispensing a liquid medicament, comprising: a housing () having at least one feeder member (), a disposable injector () comprising an injection needle (), a flexible tube () and an injector fluid coupling (), wherein the injection needle () is in fluid communication with the fluid coupling () via the flexible tube (), a disposable cartridge () comprising a reservoir () at least partially filled with the liquid medicament and comprising a cartridge fluid coupling () in fluid communication with the reservoir (), wherein the injector () and the cartridge () are releasably attachable to the housing () and arrestable to the housing () in an undeployed configuration (), in which the injector fluid coupling () and the cartridge fluid coupling () are disconnected, and wherein one of injector () and cartridge () is displaceable relative to the other one of injector () and cartridge () from the undeployed configuration () into the deployed configuration () while attached to the housing (), wherein when in deployed configuration the injector fluid coupling () and the cartridge fluid coupling () are in fluid communication.

Drug delivery device with disposable cartridge and disposable injector

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

A peristaltic pump comprises a tube for transporting a material, wherein the tube is arranged linearly along a longitudinal axis. The peristaltic pump further comprises a pump head for causing a squeezing of the tube, wherein the pump head is rotatable about a rotation axis.

Peristaltic pump

A peristaltic pump comprises a tube to transport a material in a transport direction and one or more piezoelements, which are configured to cause a squeezing of the tube. Furthermore, a method of transporting material comprises the step of successively actuating the piezoelements along the transport direction of the material and thereby causing a squeezing of the tube.
