  • Patent number: 12109395
    Abstract: The disclosure refers to a device, for example a cartridge, a syringe or an autoinjector, which reduces the possibility of user error and provides an easy and automatic operation during mixing and/or reconstitution. The device is adapted such that activation of the device causes movement one of a first piston and a second piston in second chamber in an axial direction of the device, thereby moving the other one of the first piston and the second piston into the same axial direction of the device, opening a fluid communication path between the second chamber and a first chamber of the device, and expelling a second material from the second chamber into the first chamber via the fluid communication path. The disclosure is further directed to a respective mixing and/or reconstitution method.

  • Patent number: 12102809
    Abstract: A drug delivery device including a case adapted to hold a medicament container, a plunger disposed within the case and slidable from a proximal position into a distal position for delivering a medicament from the medicament container, and an audible indicator that is arranged within a case pocket lateral to the plunger and that is in operative connection with the plunger. The audible indicator includes at least one indicator spring and at least one locking element, where the indicator spring is biased by the locking element, and the indicator spring relaxes due to a release of the locking element by a movement of the plunger.

  • Patent number: 12102812
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an audible indicator in combination with a drug delivery device having a resilient force member capable of resting in either of two states. In a biased state, the resilient force member is biased and stores energy and in a relaxed state, the resilient force member is relaxed. The resilient force member releases the stored energy when changing from the biased state into the relaxed state, thereby generating an audible signal, wherein the resilient force member is supported by a retaining element in the biased state in order to prevent transition into the relaxed state.

  • Patent number: 12102810
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an audible indicator for use with a drug delivery device, the audible indicator including a spring element configured to reside in one of a relaxed state and a biased state, wherein the audible indicator includes a rotatable element coupled to the spring element, and wherein the spring element releases stored energy to rotate the rotatable element such that the rotatable element impacts a surface to generate an audible signal when the spring element changes from the biased state into the relaxed state.

  • Patent number: 12105045
    Abstract: Sensors are configured to capture measurement data representing dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements of an environment and capacitance measurements of a medium of the environment. A memory includes computer-executable instructions. One or more processors are communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to carry out operations comprising: generating, using first measurement data captured by the one or more sensors, a model based on a relationship between the first set of DO measurements and the first set of capacitance measurements; receiving, from the one or more sensors, second measurement data; predicting, using the model and based on the new capacitance measurement, an expected DO measurement; determining whether to use the expected DO measurement or the new DO measurement; and controlling, a valve to cause the determined oxygen input amount to flow into the environment based on the expected DO measurement.

  • Patent number: 12090306
    Abstract: Electronics assemblies with wireless capabilities for use in a drug delivery device. At least one of the electronics assemblies includes a processor, a sensor arranged to measure a fill level of a drug container and output a measurement to the processor, a wireless module to which an external device can be paired, a power module arranged to supply power to the assembly, and memory storing instructions for the processor to perform. The instructions include activating the sensor at a first time interval and receiving the measurement signal, for each activating of the sensor at the first time internal, determining, based on the received measurement signal, a change in the fill level of the drug container, and when the change in the fill level is detected, activating the wireless module for a first duration to enable the external device to pair with the wireless module.
