Abstract: A medicament delivery device includes a housing configured to receive a container of medicament and a piston rod moveable within the housing and configured to engage a container of medicament when received within the housing. The medicament delivery device further includes a position-sensing mechanism configured to detect the position of the piston rod within the housing. The position-sensing mechanism includes a first light source configured to emit light, a first sensor disposed proximate the first light source and configured to receive light emitted by the first light source, and a blocking member moveable between the first light source and the first sensor. The first sensor is configured to detect the light pattern received to determine the position of the piston rod within the housing.

Abstract: The application relates to a data collection device for mounting on a rotatable dose setting dial of a medicament administration device. A system comprising the data collection device and the medicament administration device is also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a trigger arrangement for an infusion device, the trigger arrangement being configured to trigger a bolus injection of the infusion device and including: a body having an outside surface, a haptic structure arranged on the outside surface or integrated into the outside surface, wherein the haptic structure includes a first end section and a second end section and wherein the haptic structure includes a haptic track extending from the first end section to the second end section, a touch sensitive sensor arrangement extending along the haptic track and configured to detect a sliding motion of an object along the haptic track.

Abstract: A sensor device removably attachable to a drug delivery device includes a sensing arrangement arranged within the sensor device and circuitry configured to process signals provided by the sensing arrangement. The sensing arrangement is configured such that, when the sensor device is attached to the drug delivery device, the sensing arrangement is operable to read encoded information present on a rotatable component internal to the drug delivery device and that is able to be sensed through a window or aperture of the drug delivery device, and is operable to sense through the window or aperture at least a part of a drive mechanism of the drug delivery device. The circuitry is configured to determine information relating to a set dose, and to determine information relating to whether the drug delivery device is in a dose setting mode or whether the device is in a dose delivery mode.

Abstract: Drug delivery devices for selecting and dispensing a number of doses of a medicament are provided. The drug delivery device includes a medicament reservoir attached to a housing, a drive mechanism including a plunger axially movable relative to the housing for dispensing doses of the medicament from the medicament reservoir, a dose selecting element releasably coupled to the drive mechanism and rotatable relative to the housing in a first direction for selecting a dose, a trigger axially movable relative to the housing for initiating dispensing of a dose selected by the dose selecting element, and a limiter selectively permitting and preventing axial movement of the trigger depending on the amount of the selected dose.

Abstract: A drug delivery device comprises a housing and a dose sleeve located within the housing, the dose sleeve being configured to move helically within the housing as a medicament dose is dialled into or delivered from the drug delivery device. A dose setting arrangement is coupled to the dose sleeve and is configured to cause helical movement of the dose sleeve as a medicament dose is dialled into the drug delivery device through rotation of a dose dial forming part of the dose setting component. A dose delivery arrangement comprising a dose button is coupled to the dose sleeve and is configured to cause delivery of medicament with helical movement of the dose sleeve and without rotation of the dose dial when the dose button is actuated. A first sensor arrangement is configured for detecting a rotation of the dose dial relative to the housing. A second sensor arrangement is configured for detecting movement of the dose sleeve relative to the housing.

Abstract: A data collection device comprising an attachment assembly for attaching the data collection device to a dose setting dial of a medicament administration device, a light source configured to illuminate a portion of a surface of an internal component of the medicament administration device including a pattern of relatively reflective and non-reflecting regions formed on the surface of the internal component, and an optical sensor configured to receive light reflected by at least the relatively reflective regions. And a system comprising the data collection device and the medicament administration device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for producing, filling and sealing a medicament container (2?), the method comprising a blow-fill seal process comprising: a molding step, in which a parison (2) is inflated within a mold (1) to form the medicament container (2?), a filling step, in which a medicament (M) is filled into the medicament container (2?), and a sealing step, in which a distal end of a neck (2.2?) of the medicament container (2?) is sealed, wherein the mold (1) is dimensioned such that the neck (2.2?) is formed with an internal radius small enough to allow for a capillary effect of the medicament (M) so that an air bubble remaining in the neck (2.2?) after the filling step and the sealing step is fixed within the neck (2.2?) by capillary forces. The present disclosure also relates to a medicament container (2?) produced by said method.
