  • Publication number: 20130197474
    Abstract: A medicated module (100) is attachable to a drug delivery device (102). The medicated module (100) includes a housing (104) having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end has a connector (110) configured for attachment to a drug delivery device (102). The distal end contains a shuttle (112). A first needle (114) is fixed in the housing (104) and a second needle (116) is fixed in the shuttle (112). The medicated module (100) also includes a reservoir (118) in the housing (104) comprising a medicament (12). Further, the medicated module (100) includes a guard assembly (122) positioned in the housing (104) and configured to move in an axial direction during application to an injection site. Preferably, the medicated module (100) is locked out after at least two injections of the medicament (105) contained in the drug delivery device (102).

  • Publication number: 20130096509
    Abstract: A system for a drug delivery device comprising a reservoir holder configured to hold a reservoir, and an alignment interface comprising a main body configured to be coupled to the reservoir. A first alignment feature is provided on the main body. The first alignment feature cooperates with a corresponding alignment feature provided by the reservoir holder such that when the reservoir is inserted into the holder, the first alignment feature cooperates with the corresponding alignment feature provided by the holder so as to rotate the alignment interface and thereby align the alignment interface within the holder. Thus, the reservoir may be aligned within the reservoir holder. The first alignment feature may comprise at least one protrusion provided on the main body of the interface. The system further comprises one or more coding features.

  • Publication number: 20130090602
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are fastening features for cartridge assemblies that include coding features that help dedicate a medicament reservoir to specific injection devices. An exemplary cartridge assembly comprises a cylindrical inner surface for holding medicament and a cylindrical outer surface comprising a fastening feature having a first coding element protruding from the cylindrical outer surface. The coding element is configured to engage a complementary coding feature on the fastener on a dose setting member specifically configured to dispense the medicament, thereby allowing only the correct cartridge assembly to connect to the correct dose setting member.
