Abstract
A drug delivery device is provided comprising or adapted to receive a cartridge with an axially displaceable piston. The drug delivery device comprises a housing, a stationary capacitive sensor assembly, and a moveable indicator element comprising a surface with a code pattern detectable by the stationary capacitive sensor. The code pattern is formed from conductive markings printed onto the surface. The capacitive sensor is formed on a flexible sheet mounted at least in part to the exterior of the housing.
