Abstract
The invention relates to a support for a medication holding cartridge provided with one or more electronically readable information carrying areas. The invention further relates to a support for a medication holding cartridge which provides one or more electrically connecting supports, each comprising a number of closely spaced mutually electrically insulated conductors embedded in an electrically insulating material that stretches from one of the supporting surfaces of the cartridge to a contact area for receiving and transferring the information, when the medication holding cartridge is positioned in the support. The present invention can securely transfer information with an increased density from a medication holding cartridge to an electronic circuit and may be customized to a variety of physical designs. The invention may be used for example in connection with replaceable medication cartridges for medication delivery devices and with other cartridges from which an item of information is to be electronically transferred.
