  • Patent number: 8382701
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for ensuring a constant target speed of a battery driven electrical motor, the battery driven electrical motor being adapted to move a piston rod in an injection device so as to inject a set dose of medicine from the injection device, the method comprising the steps of setting a first target speed to be reached by the motor, determining whether the first target speed can be reached, and, if the first target speed can be reached, maintaining the first target speed until a set dose of medicine has been injected from the injection device, or if the first target speed cannot been reached, setting a second target speed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100185152
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of controlling a dosing operation where a piston in a medical device is moved to a desired position, the dosing operation applies a motor to provide a force from the piston to expel a dose of a liquid medicament, said method comprising the steps of: moving the piston, at a first fixed speed, to a first position of the movement, moving the piston, at a decreasing speed, from said first position to a second position of the movement, and moving the piston, at a second fixed speed, from said second position to the desired position of the movement. The method further comprises the step of letting a fixed waiting time pass, when the piston has reached the desired position. This enables for a precise movement and stop of the piston leading to a precise dose, minimized post dripping and to that only a fixed and short waiting time need to go before a user can withdraw an injection needle of the medical device from his skin.
