Patent number: 6858846Abstract: Provided is a method for operating a preparation delivery device wherein the device comprises a) a container for the preparation having, or being prepared for the arrangement of, an opening, b) a mechanism operable to deliver at least part of the preparation in the container through the opening, c) attachment means for connection of the container to the mechanism and d) a sensor system arranged to detect at least one predetermined property of the container or its content. The method comprises transmitting radiation towards the container position or a part thereof to allow the radiation to be affected by the container position, receiving at least a part of the affected radiation from at least an area part of the container position in a non-imaging way and comparing the characteristics of the received radiation with a predetermined characteristic representative for the predetermined property to establish whether or not the predetermined property of the container is present.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2001Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Pharmacia ABInventors: Birger Hjertman, Gunnar Pettersson, Bohdan Pavlu, Anders Holte, Per Hammargren

Publication number: 20040010233Abstract: A system and a method for modification of an manually operated injection device. The injection device comprises a housing (1-3) designed or suitable for manual gripping, a container for a preparation attached to (6) or enclosed in the housing, an outlet (4) for the preparation exposed with respect to the housing, optionally a cap or guard (8) arranged for removable attachment over the outlet and a mechanism arranged for moving the preparation at least from the container through the outlet. The system comprises a set of at least two elements (11,11′) having different properties in at least one respect. The elements (11,11′) are designed for mechanical attachment to one and the same area part (3) of the housing, one at the time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2003Publication date: January 15, 2004Inventors: Birger Hjertman, Hans Himbert, Bohdan Pavlu, Kerstin Genetay
