  • Publication number: 20240082486
    Abstract: A drug delivery device (1), comprising a delivery unit (3) including a drug container (6) comprising a barrel portion (6a) and a plunger (12) slidably mounted within the barrel portion and sealing the drug (78) within the container at one end of the barrel portion, and a drive unit (4) comprising a pneumatic flow system (74) and a pneumatic pumping system configured to pump air via the pneumatic flow system (74) to a space behind the plunger to generate a gas pressure to advance the plunger in the container during drug delivery. The drug delivery device comprises a sealing adaptor (9) mounted on an end of the drug container facing an outer side of the plunger, the sealing adaptor (9) comprising a sealing plug (23) inserted inside an end of the barrel portion, the sealing plug (23) comprising an orifice (26) configured for pluggable sealing connection to a gas channel connector (40) of the pneumatic flow system.

  • Patent number: 10954928
    Abstract: A pump including: a stator (4), a rotor (6) slidably and rotatably mounted at least partially in the stator, the rotor comprising a first axial extension (24) having a first diameter (D1) and a second axial extension (26) having a second diameter (D2) greater than the first diameter, a first valve (V1) formed by a first valve seal (18) mounted on the stator around the first axial extension, in conjunction with a first channel (42) in the rotor that is configured to allow liquid communication across the first valve seal when the first valve is in an open position, a second valve (V2) formed by a second valve seal (20) mounted on the stator around the second axial extension, in conjunction with a second channel (44) in the rotor that is configured to allow liquid communication across the second valve seal when the second valve is in an open position, and a pump chamber (8) formed between the rotor and stator and between the first valve seal and second valve seal.
