Publication number: 20210386933Abstract: The invention relates to a torsion spring driven injection device for ejecting set doses of a liquid drug. In a first aspect the torsion spring driven injection device is provided with a blocking structure which is operated by the rotatable display element such that the set dose can only be expelled when a certain minimum dose size has been set. In a second aspect the torsion spring driven injection device is provided with a release mechanism which secures that the set dose can only be expelled as one single full dose in one stroke. The two aspects can easily be combined such that the predetermined minimum dose size most be expelled as one single dose.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2019Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Claus Urup Gjoedesen, Niels Christian Egholm Soerensen, Kim Roennow Sejtzer

Publication number: 20160271335Abstract: The invention relates to a drive mechanism for a medical injection device in which a piston rod (10) has a threaded outer surface and a not circular cross-section and engages a nut assembly (2, 102, 202) having either an internal thread (41, 141, 241) mating the outer thread (11) of the piston rod (10), or a shape mating the non-circular cross section of the piston rod (10). The nut assembly (2) comprises a first part (30, 130, 230) and a second part (40, 140, 240), which are connected by a hinge allowing the first part (30, 130, 230) and the second part (40, 140, 240) to tilt relatively to each other in a non-axial plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2014Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Lee Higson, Imran Ghulam, Jesper Bach Noergaard, Ken Hansen, Claus Urup Gjoedesen, Carsten Schau Andersen, Asger Meng Larsen

Patent number: 9233209Abstract: The present invention relates to injection devices for injecting a medicament from a cartridge (600) through a needle cannula (510). The injection device (100) includes an actuator (330, 360) for driving a piston driver (310) and includes an end of stroke limiter (341, 611). When the piston driver (310) is arrested by the end of stroke limiter (341, 611) a shielding driver (370) is automatically triggered to actively shift the needle cannula (510) into a shielded state. The injection device may include a fluid dispensing interruption mechanism that automatically interrupts fluid flow when the piston driver has moved a predetermined stroke length. The injection device may also include a single pre-stressed spring acting exclusively in a linear compression mode or exclusively in a torsion mode and adapted to sequentially drive the device to enable fully automatic operation. The invention also relates to a method of sterilizing a needle cannula assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2011Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Tom Hede Markussen, Freddy Verner Michelsen, Bo Radmer, Knud Skifter Winther, Claus Urup Gjoedesen, Christian Hoejris Nielsen, Martin Majdall Petersen, Jesper Peter Windum

Patent number: 8740857Abstract: A medical delivery system comprising a container and a coupling mechanism movable between a coupling position wherein distal movement of a drive mechanism is transferred to an actuator, and a non-coupling position wherein distal movement is not transferred to the actuator. Moreover the present invention relates to a dosing assembly for use in the medical delivery system and a container for use in the medical delivery system. Finally, the present invention relates to medical delivery system comprising a dosing assembly having means for preventing a drive stem of the dosing assembly from being moved in a distal direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Asger Voss Christiansen, Jonas Torry-Smith, Michael Ejstrup Hansen, Nikolaj Eusebius Jakobsen, Ramin Nateghi Elahi, Claus Schmidt Møller, Claus Urup Gjødesen

Patent number: 8708957Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical injection device (1) for use in combination with a medicament filled cartridge (2), the injection device being provided with a spring-assisted injecting mechanism where energy released from the spring moves a plunger (3) of a held cartridge (2). Sensor circuitry is adapted to detect speed related data during injection so at to detect an abnormal speed condition, such as a needle blocking condition, a priming condition or an air purge condition. The invention also relates to a medical injection device comprising sensor circuitry and user communicating means to provide a recommended needle retraction waiting period which is dependent on the speed of injection.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2008Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Søren Kragh Jespersen, Claus Urup Gjødesen, Andre Larsen

Patent number: 8353878Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device for injecting a dose of drug. The injection device comprises a housing, a dose setting mechanism being operable to set a desired dose, an injection mechanism comprising a piston rod (7) adapted to cooperate with a piston positioned in a cartridge containing a drug to be delivered in order to cause a set dose to be delivered from the cartridge via the injection device, a dosage tube (6), and retaining means arranged to prevent axial movement of the dosage tube in a distal direction relatively to the housing during dose setting. The dose setting mechanism comprises a rotatable dose knob (24), operation of the dose setting mechanism causing energy to be stored in a spring member. The injection mechanism is driven by releasing energy previously stored in the spring member during dose setting.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2008Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Claus Schmidt Moller, Lars Peter Klitmose, Claus Urup Gjoedesen
