  • Patent number: 10332699
    Abstract: An electronically controlled add-on device with a switch arrangement comprises a powered switch which is open during most of its lifetime, i.e. during both storage and operational use. More specifically, in one embodiment the add-on device comprises a secondary switch so that there are an open and a closed switch. The logics of the electronic circuitry control the circuitry so that the closed switch will be un-powered and the open switch will be powered. When the switch is mechanically changed, both switches are changed by the controller so that the closed switch will be un-powered and the open switch will be powered.

  • Publication number: 20190117899
    Abstract: An add-on device configured to be releasably attached to a drug delivery device comprising a housing with a reference marker and a scale drum with a zero identifier and an initial marker. The add-on device comprises a memory and a camera adapted to capture an image of the housing reference marker and the initial marker when the scale drum is in a (near) initial position. The add-on device is adapted to perform a reference offset value determination, comprising: capture an image, perform an image analysis to determine if the captured image comprises the zero identifier, if so, determine a reference offset value based on the distance between the housing reference marker and the initial marker, the reference off-set value representing the initial rotational position, and if no reference offset value is stored in the memory or if the determined reference offset value corresponds to a smaller set dose amount than a currently stored value, store in the memory the determined reference offset value.
