  • Publication number: 20130123685
    Abstract: Medical injection advice adapted for operating in a dose setting mode and in a dose administration mode, comprising a dosing actuator (124) reversibly actuatable from a first state for operating the device in the dose setting mode to a second state for operating the device in the dose administration mode, a switch (130, 132) adapted to sense positional information associated with the dosing actuator, and a controller coupled to the switch arrangement, wherein electronic mode representation is configured to enter dose setting mode after a time delay following detecting the dosing actuator has moved away from said second state or detecting the dosing actuator has moved into said first state.

  • Publication number: 20120215162
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device comprising an optically-based sensor for determining the position or setting of a dose setting member arranged to set a dose to be injected from the injection device. In particular, the present invention relates to an injection device comprising a rotatably mounted member having a plurality of optically coded paths arranged on an outer surface thereof. The rotatably mounted member is operatively connected to the dose setting member and is adapted to rotate with the dose setting member.

  • Patent number: 7614545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a marking of cartridges, carpules or any kind of package. The marking can be in an electronically readable form while being transparent. Hereby a marking with improved security for avoiding reading errors which ensures a mandatory visual inspection of content is obtained. The transparent conductor can be in form of a polymer, an ITO and the like. These transparent conductors are used in an improved marking technique, which further improves reading security. The invention may e.g. be used in connection with medication delivery devices for self-treatment of a disease, e.g. diabetes.
