  • Patent number: 8894611
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an indicating device for use with medical injection devices for administering a drug into the body of a subject user wherein the indicating device is configured for indicating after administration that a dose of the drug actually has been administered and for maintaining this indication until lapse of a pre-defined time interval. The time delay indicator disclosed is based on a mechanical time delay device and includes a visual indicator that is controlled by the mechanical time delay device for signalling the status of the device during lapse of the pre-defined time interval.

  • Publication number: 20070112301
    Abstract: The invention provides an actuator system comprising an actuator member having first and second positions. The system further comprises actuating means for moving the actuator member between the first and second positions and detection means for detecting the first respectively the second position and supplying time signals indicative thereof. A controller determines on the basis of supplied time signals the time lapsed when the actuator member is moved between the first and second positions in a given direction, the controller comprising information representing at least one defined time range, each time range being associated with movement of the actuator member in a given direction between the first and second positions and a given actuation force, the controller being adapted to compare the determined time lapsed with the defined time range(s) and perform an action corresponding to the time range associated with the determined time lapsed.

  • Publication number: 20070104596
    Abstract: The invention provides a pump assembly comprising an actuator lever, a supporting structure, a pump comprising a pump member moveable by actuation of the actuator lever, and an actuator for moving the actuator lever. A first stationary pivoting joint is formed between the actuator lever and the supporting structure, and a second floating pivoting joint is formed between the actuator lever and the pump member allowing the pump member to float relative to the actuator lever, the floating pivoting point providing a constant-length actuator arm defined between the first pivoting joint and the second pivoting joint.

  • Publication number: 20070021733
    Abstract: A medical device is provided comprising a reservoir adapted to contain a fluid drug in an interior thereof, and a pump assembly. The pump assembly comprises a pump inlet, a pump outlet and an internal flow path arranged there between, and a fluid connector having an inlet and an outlet. The fluid connector is arranged to be operated from an initial state in which the fluid connector is arranged within the interior of the pump and an actuated state in which fluid communication is established between the interior of the reservoir and the interior of the pump assembly via the fluid connector and with the outlet of the fluid connector being arranged in the flow path of the pump assembly.

  • Publication number: 20060264835
    Abstract: A medical device is provided comprising a transcutaneous device unit and a reservoir unit. The transcutaneous device unit comprises a transcutaneous device for transporting a fluid through a skin portion of a subject, and a mounting surface adapted for application to the skin of the subject. The reservoir unit comprises a reservoir adapted to contain a fluid drug, the reservoir comprising an outlet means allowing the transcutaneous device to be arranged in fluid communication with an interior of the reservoir, and an expelling assembly for expelling a fluid drug out of the reservoir and through the skin of the subject via the transcutaneous device. The transcutaneous device unit and the reservoir unit further comprise coupling means allowing the reservoir unit to be secured to the transcutaneous device unit in the situation of use. By this arrangement a two-unit system is provided which can be used in a convenient and cost-effective manner.
