Abstract: A syringe carrier includes a housing adapted to receive a syringe having a needle encapsulated by a removable protective needle sheath, and two or more flexible arms protruding inwards in a relaxed state and adapted to couple with the syringe in a mounted position. The flexible arms are adapted to deflect radially outwards in a pre-assembled position of the syringe in the syringe carrier. In the mounted position the flexible arms are allowed to return into the relaxed state due, in part, to an axial force operating on the syringe carrier. The disclosure further relates to an autoinjector and a method of assembling the autoinjector.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed, comprising a detector unit comprising a detector configured to detect an actuation action performable via the detector unit to an actuation button of a medical device to cause the medical device to eject at least a portion of a medicament comprised in the medical device. The detector is configured to detect the actuation action based on a detection of a force and/or a touch applied to the detector unit as part of the actuation action. The apparatus further comprises an electric unit connected to the detector and configured to store and/or provide information related to the detected actuation action. Furthermore, an according method and a computer program for controlling this method are disclosed.

Abstract: Described is a dose tracking mechanism for a drug delivery device, including an RFID device with an electric circuit and a switch operable to open and close the electric circuit to transmit a wireless signal to a receiving device when the electric circuit is closed by the switch. The switch is configured to open and close in response to operation of a dose setting and/or a dose dispensing mechanism of the drug delivery device, and the closing and opening of the electric circuit generates a pulse of the wireless RFID signal. In one embodiment, each pulse corresponds to a unit of a dose of medicament set by the dose setting mechanism or dispensed by the dose dispensing mechanism from a drug container of the drug delivery device, depending on if the dose setting or dose dispensing mechanism is arranged to toggle the switch.
