The present disclosure relates to medicament injection devices. An injection device includes: a movable dosage programming component comprising a rotary encoder system having a predefined angular periodicity, a sensor arrangement including a first optical sensor configured to detect movement of the movable dosage programming component relative to the sensor arrangement during dosing of a medicament, wherein the first optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a first frequency, a second optical sensor configured to detect movement of the rotary encoder system relative to the second optical sensor wherein the second optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a second frequency lower than the first frequency, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on the detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device.

Medicament injection device

The present disclosure is generally directed to an attachment mechanism suitable for attaching a module to an object, e.g. to a portion of a drug delivery device. Further, the disclosure is directed to an electronic system, e.g. an electronic add-on module, which is configured to be, e.g. releasably, attached to a drug delivery device as well as an assembly including the electronic add-on module as well as the drug delivery device. The attachment mechanism may include at least one attachment member with a longitudinal axis, an adhesive distal end surface and an opposite adhesive proximal end surface.

Attachment mechanism, module and assembly herewith

An assembly for a drug delivery device is provided, the assembly comprising a feedback feature. The feedback feature is configured to indicate an end of the dispense operation to a user by giving an audible and/or tactile feedback.

Assembly for a drug delivery device comprising a feedback feature

An electronic add-on module configured for releasable attachment to a drug delivery device is described. The electronic add-on module includes at least a body configured to be releasably attached to the device housing, a coupler configured to be releasably attached to the device dial grip, and a dial configured to be axially displaceable with respect to the coupler. The electronic add-on module further includes a tube which is configured to be permanently rotationally constrained to the body and configured to be axially displaceable relative to the body wherein the dial is configured to be rotatable relative to the tube at least in a dialing mode.

Electronic add-on module and assembly of an electronic add-on module and a drug delivery device

A data collection device for attachment to an injection device, such as an injector pen, includes a sensor arrangement to detect movement of a movable component of the injection device relative to the data collection device during delivery of a medicament by the injection device, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on said detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device. The processor arrangement may monitor the time that has elapsed since the medicament dosage was administered, and control a display to show the mediacament dosage and elapsed time to provide a memory aid to the user. In an example embodiment, the sensor arrangement includes an optical encoder and the movable component includes a plurality of light barrier formations. The movable component may be a number sleeve that provides a visual indication of a dose programmed into the injection device.

Data collection device for attachment to an injection device

The invention relates to an arrangement for detecting a position of a plunger () relative to a bung () in a drug cartridge (), comprising a proximity sensor () located close to a distal end () of the plunger () facing the bung () and aligned to receive light reflected by the bung ().

Arrangement for detecting a position of a plunger

A supplemental device for attachment to an injection device, the supplemental device having a housing containing at least two electromechanical switches each having an open state and a closed state and a protrusion associated with each switch configured to protrude from the housing so as to contact a rotatable surface of the injection device while the supplemental device is attached to the injection device; and a processor arrangement configured to detect a change in the state of each of the switches; and to determine a direction of rotation of the rotatable surface of the injection device from the detected state changes.

Supplemental device for attachment to an injection device

The invention relates to an electronic module for recording information of a drug delivery device, the electronic module comprising at least one connector, wherein at least one connector is adapted to be connected to a port of the drug delivery device and wherein at least one connector is adapted to be connected to a port of a computer. Furthermore, the invention relates to a drug delivery device, comprising a port for connecting to the connector of the electronic module.

Electronic module and drug delivery device

Medicament injection device with rotary encoder

A drug delivery device comprising: a housing; a cylindrical member rotatably supported within the housing; and a plurality of sensors; wherein: the outer surface of the cylindrical member is provided with a single track, the track forming an encoder and having a plurality of first track segments and a plurality of second track segments arranged along the length of the track which are respectively capable of inducing first and second responses in the sensors; and in each rotational position of the cylindrical member relative to the housing at least one different first track segment is capable of inducing a first response in at least one said sensor, thereby enabling the rotational position of the cylindrical member relative to the housing to be determined.
