  • Publication number: 20150025493
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for delivering at least one fluid medicament from a medical device. The invention also relates to a medical device. The technical problem of improving the dose accuracy is solved by a method for delivering at least one fluid medicament from a medical device comprising a first reservoir containing a first fluid medicament, a second reservoir containing a fluid, and a fluid element connected to said first reservoir and said second reservoir. The method comprises receiving information about a desired dose of the first fluid medicament to be ejected, adjusting said dose to be ejected from said first reservoir based at least in part on information about a content of said fluid element, and ejecting said adjusted dose from said first reservoir through said fluid element. The technical problem is further solved by a medical device configured to work according to the method.

  • Publication number: 20130245604
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are various examples of a drug delivery system and corresponding method for delivering three or more medicaments. The system includes two major components: an auto-injector device that contains at least two medicaments and a medicated module that contains at least one medicament. The medicated module interfaces with the auto-injector device such that a combination dose comprising all of the medicaments can be delivered via a single dispense interface of the medicated module. In order to deliver a pre-defined combination dose, a user need only set the dose of one of the medicaments contained in the auto-injector device and need only activate the system once by actuating a dose delivery button on the auto-injector device.
