The present invention relates to a method and a system for producing an elongated drug formulation being suitable for being injected through the skin of a patient with-out the use of a needle or a cannula. The drug formulation is produced by compressing a drug granulate in cavity of a system comprising a roller and a surface, wherein the roller roles over the surface thereby comprising the granulate to the formulation.

Method for producing an elongated drug formation

A method of self treating a disease, such as diabetes, includes collecting in one or more databases data representing values of parameters that related to the self treatment. The data is processed to provide a plurality of alternate choices between two or more actions that may be taken and a corresponding value for each action is calculated. A computerized system may be employed to perform the above method and the system may include a computer readable medium for executing the method.

Method and a system for assisting a user in a medical self treatment, said self treatment comprising a plurality of actions

This invention relates to an system for self treatment. The system consists of several portable modules where one of the modules is designated as a master module. The master module controls, supervises and monitors all the mutual information and data exchange between itself and the rest of the modules. The modules can e.g. consist of a BGM, a doser, an inhaler, a tablet dispenser and a storage container. The modules may be able to generate and store data which is transmitted to the master module if it is within range and active. If the master module is not within range, the data is kept locally in the module until the master module is available or a new master module is designated. The master module or another specific module can send the data to an external unit like a computer or database for further processing. A physician or an expert care-team can access the data in the database and give guidance to the patient on the basis of these processed data. This processing could also be done automatically by utilization of an expert system.

A cartridge ( ) for an injection device carries a code represented by a number of bars ( ) mainly perpendicular to the axis of the cartridge. The bars ( ) are mainly transparent and are each along its whole length provided with an optical grating which diffracts and reflects light impinging the surface carrying the code so that a minor part of this light is reflected from the surface of the bar as a set of light beams of which beams at least one is detected for the indication of the presence of the bar when said bar passes a reading light field. The reflections from the bars may be interpreted as representing &ldquo; &rdquo;s and &ldquo; &rdquo;s in a binary code.

Coding of cartridges for an injection device

A cassette for storing and insertion of a solid medicine peg appears as a unit having a first bore ( ) which accommodates the medicine peg ( ) and has a diameter corresponding to the diameter of this peg ( ), a second bore ( ) in coaxial extension of the first bore ( ) and having a diameter larger than the diameter of the first bore ( ), an inserter having a shaft ( ) fitting into the first bore ( ) and a guiding head ( ) in coaxial extension of the shaft ( ) fitting into the second bore. The inserter shaft ( ) has one end adjacent to the peg ( ) and the other connected to the guiding head ( ) which projects from the cassette. The head ( ) fits into the second bore with a fitting providing a diffusion tight sealing and the distal end of the unit is closed by a membrane diffusion tightly sealing this distal end.
