A cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device can include: a cartridge holder, a cartridge containing a drug, and a fixing member, wherein the cartridge holder includes an interior cartridge holding section, the cartridge being arranged in the cartridge holding section, wherein the fixing member is axially secured to the cartridge holder and secures the cartridge permanently in the cartridge holder.

Cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device and method for assembling the same

A cartridge unit for a drug delivery device is provided, comprising: a cartridge unit guide feature, the cartridge unit guide feature being provided to mechanically cooperate with a housing guide feature provided on a housing to establish a guiding interface in order to guide relative movement of the cartridge unit and the housing when attaching the cartridge unit to the housing, wherein the cartridge unit guide feature is provided with at least one cartridge unit interface feature, wherein the cartridge unit interface feature is adapted to establish a further interface with the housing.

Cartridge unit for a drug delivery device

A cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device is described. The cartridge assembly includes a cartridge containing a drug, the cartridge including a dispensing end; a cartridge holder, the cartridge holder defining an interior cartridge holding section, where the cartridge is arranged within the cartridge holding section; and a fixing feature. The fixing feature includes a fixing surface, in particular a radially oriented surface, which is arranged to abut a cartridge surface of the cartridge, in particular a radially oriented surface, to prevent removal of the cartridge from the cartridge holder such that the cartridge is permanently secured in the cartridge holder.

Cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device and drug delivery device

A cartridge assembly for a drug delivery device is described. The cartridge assembly includes (i) a cartridge containing a drug, the cartridge including a dispensing end; (ii) a cartridge holder, the cartridge holder defining an interior cartridge holding section, in which the cartridge is arranged within the cartridge holding section; and (iii) a fixing member. The fixing member includes a fixing surface arranged to abut a cartridge surface of the cartridge, in particular a radially oriented surface. The cartridge surface is a proximal surface which faces away from the dispensing end of the cartridge, and the cartridge surface is arranged between the dispensing end of the cartridge and the end opposite of the dispensing end. The fixing member includes a securing surface which is arranged to abut a holder surface of the cartridge holder. Further, a drug delivery device and a method for assembling the cartridge assembly are described.

Cartridge assembly and method for assembling the same

An arrangement of drug delivery devices is provided with interchangeable members and non-interchangeable members.

Drug delivery devices

The present invention relates to injectors, such as pen-type injectors, that provide for administration of medicinal products from a multidose cartridge and permit a user to set a delivery dose. An injector may include a housing, a cartridge containing a medicinal product, the cartridge being retained within the housing, means for selecting a dose of the medicinal product to be expelled, and means for expelling the selected dose of the medicinal product. The housing may be a unitary housing within which the means for selecting the dose and the means for expelling the selected dose are moveably retained. Alternatively, the injector may include a housing, a piston rod, an insert located in the housing and through which the piston rod may rotate, ratchet means, a dose dial sleeve, a drive sleeve, a button located on the drive sleeve and rotatable with respect to the drive sleeve, and clutch means which upon depression of the button prevents rotation between the dose dial sleeve and the drive sleeve.

Pen-type injector

A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.

Drug delivery device and method of operation

The present disclosure is directed to a dose setting mechanism that may be used with a drug delivery device. The dose setting mechanism may include an inner body having a helical thread along an outer cylindrical surface of the inner body, and a drive sleeve for driving a piston rod in an axial direction, the drive sleeve positioned within at least a portion of the inner body. The dose setting mechanism may further include a dose dial sleeve rotatably engaged with the helical thread of the inner body and a dial grip connected to the dose dial sleeve and releasably connected to the drive sleeve. Further when a dose is set, the dial grip is rotated so that both the dose dial sleeve and the drive sleeve rotate with respect to the inner body.

Drive mechanisms suitable for use in drug delivery devices

Drug delivery device and electro-mechanical injection device

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method. The apparatus comprises a body part and a cover part, wherein the body part and the cover part are configured to at least partially form a fluid channel between a surface of the body part and a surface of the cover part. The surfaces of the body part and the cover part may be facing surfaces. The method comprises manufacturing the apparatus according to the present disclosure.
