A drive device for advancing an advancing element () relative to a housing () over a entire advancing distance (G) comprises a tensioning device having a tensioning element () for tensioning a spring device (). A predetermined distance (A) between the tensioning element () and the advancing element () or between the counter element () and the tensioning element () that engages with advancing element can be set according to the advancing of the advancing element () by a partial advancing distance that is less than the entire advancing distance (G). According to a method for discharging a fluid product from a container () via an outlet (), a plunger () is displaced inside the container () by means of a drive device provided with an advancing element () and with a spring device (), whereby the spring device () is tensioned by a tensioning device according to the advancing of the advancing element () by a partial advancing distance.

Drive device and method for advancing an advancing element

A compact and one time use, self-administration device () for administering medication is disclosed. The device includes a housing () having a start button (), a status indicator (), a window (), and a surface removably attachable to a user. The device () has a cartridge holder () providing in an aseptic environment a cartridge () containing the medication. The cartridge () is viewable through the cartridge holder () and the window (). An included drive unit () provides a movable plunger () that breaks through a sterile barrier () of the cartridge holder () to dispense the medication from the cartridge () to an hollow needle () for administering the medication into the user. The device () provides means () for extending and retracting the hollow needle () and an electronic control unit () which controls the drive unit (), the extending and retracting means (), and interfaces with the start button (), the status indicator (), and the body sensor () to automatically administer the medication.

Delivery device for use with a therapeutic drug

A fluid system that includes a flow system for a liquid having an inlet, an outlet, at least one fluid line extending from the inlet to the outlet and an electrically activatable melting device, wherein activation of the melting device causes melting, which interrupts, stops or diverts a flow of the fluid through the flow system. In one embodiment, the fluid system may be used in a device for measuring blood sugar.
