Abstract: The present invention relates to a drug delivery device and in particular to temperature sensitive labelling of such devices. The drug delivery device is designed for dispensing of a dose of a medicinal product and includes a housing, and a drive mechanism comprising an axially displaceable piston rod to act on a piston of a cartridge containing the medicinal product to be dispensed. The device is further provided with an indicator adapted to irreversibly change at least one of its visually perceptible properties in response to the ambient temperature rising above and/or dropping below at least one predefined threshold. The indicator is preferably designed as a protective cover arranged across a functional component of the device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bung (20) for drug containing cartridges (10) for use in drug delivery devices wherein the bung (20) has a distal end face (22), a proximal end face (24) and a lateral area (26), wherein the bung (20) comprises at least two different materials, a first material (30) covering the whole lateral area (26) of the bung (20) and a second material (32) which is at least partly arranged inside the bung (20), wherein the first material (30) has a larger compressibility than the second material (32) and wherein the whole lateral area (26) has a flat surface. Furthermore, it relates to a cartridge (10) and to a drug delivery device comprising a bung (20) as claimed.

Abstract: The invention refers to an arrangement and a method for determining a longitudinal position of a stopper for sealing a compartment of a translucent medicament container for a liquid medicament (M). The arrangement comprises a circular light source and a photo sensitive sensor, wherein either the light source or the sensor is laterally arrangeable next to the medicament container extending over at least part of the length of the medicament container, and wherein the respective other of the light source and the sensor is arrangeable in a circular manner around a head of the medicament container. The light source is arranged to emit light into the medicament container. The light is scattered by the medicament or medicament container and detected by the sensor. The sensor is connected to a processor unit for detecting the position of the stopper).

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for differentiating a drug delivery device that may be used to administer a plurality of drug types. The drug delivery system includes a drug delivery device and a differentiation shell. The drug delivery device holds a given medicament. A differentiation shell is attachable to the drug delivery device. The differentiation shell may include at least one shell-type feature configured to attach to a drug delivery device and at least one differentiation feature. The differentiation feature identifies the given medicament in the drug delivery device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drug delivery device and in particular to temperature sensitive labelling of such devices. The Drug delivery device is designed for dispensing of a dose of a medicinal product and comprises a housing (15; 38), and a drive mechanism (10) comprising an axially displaceable piston rod (18) to act on a piston (16) of a cartridge (8) containing the medicinal product to be dispensed.
