  • Publication number: 20210338924
    Abstract: A modular device for administering a fluid medicament fixable to the skin of a user includes a reservoir module with a reservoir defining a first axis, a first connecting structure and a first electrical contact arrangement; and a pump module with a piston rod defining a second axis, a second connecting structure arranged around the piston rod, and a second electrical contact arrangement. The first and second connecting structures are plugged together and the first axis and the second axes lie on a common axis forming a rotational axis. The pump module is rotated relative to the reservoir module about this rotational axis to electrically connect the first and second electrical contact arrangements. The first contact arrangement is displaced radially farther from the first axis than the first connecting structure, and the second electrical contact arrangement is displaced radially farther from the second axis than the second connecting structure.

  • Publication number: 20210001048
    Abstract: An assembly for an injection or infusion device includes i) a cartridge being closed by a septum and the surface of the septum being sterile and covered by a first continuous flexible strip, and ii) a fluid path unit comprising a cartridge holder and a fluid path compartment comprising a needle in an interior, the needle is configured to penetrate the septum of the cartridge through a passage in the fluid path compartment. The passage is closed by a second continuous flexible strip keeping the interior of the fluid path compartment in a sterile condition. The cartridge is inserted into the cartridge holder aligning the septum with the passage and sandwiching both strips between the septum and the fluid path compartment. Both strips may be simultaneously removable from the cartridge and fluid path compartment thereby, establishing a sterile connection between the septum and the interior of the fluid path compartment.

  • Publication number: 20200405950
    Abstract: An injection device configured for attachment to the skin of a patient using an adhesive layer includes a release liner covering the adhesive layer thereby preventing skin attachment. The release liner comprises a sheet of material where a first surface contacts the adhesive layer, and an aperture defining a passage for a film connected to a first sterile barrier film located within the injection device. An end of the film is connected to a second surface of the sheet of material that is opposite to the first surface, and the release liner is covered by a strengthening sheet connected to the second surface and covering the aperture and the end of the film.
