Abstract: The present invention relates to a medication delivery device comprising a cartridge assembly, a dosing assembly and optionally a needle assembly. The cartridge assembly comprises a cartridge having a stopper adapted to receive a plunger. Furthermore, the cartridge assembly has one end sealed with a pierce able sealing, said end comprising coupling device for engaging a needle assembly, and another end comprising coupling device for engaging the dosing assembly. The dosing assembly comprises a plunger and has coupling device for engaging the cartridge assembly. The cartridge assembly and the dosing assembly are coupled together for delivering selected doses of medication. The device further comprises mechanism for securing that the plunger abuts on the stopper during use of the device, in particular when the dosing assembly is releasable coupled to the cartridge assembly.

Abstract: By a cylinder ampoule (1), comprising a tubular vessel with a membrane (4) sealingly closing one end and a piston (9) closing the other end, liquid stored between said piston (9) and said membrane (4) can be pressed out through an injection needle (7) piercing the membrane (4) when the piston (9) is pressed into the ampoule (1). The tube is made from a plastically deformable material. A pressure foot (10) on which a piston rod (13) is acting abuts the piston (9), carries a spring plate (11) made from a harder material than is the ampoule (1), is mainly perpendicular to the ampoule (1) axis, and has at least one diameter which is larger than the inner diameter of the ampoule (1) so that edges of the plate (11) abutting the inner wall of the ampoule (1) are deflected away from the piston (9) to form an acute angle with said wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medication delivery device comprising a cartridge assembly, a dosing assembly and optionally a needle assembly. The cartridge assembly comprises a cartridge having a stopper adapted to receive a plunger means. Furthermore, the cartridge assembly has one end sealed with a pierceable sealing, said end comprising coupling means for engaging a needle assembly, and another end comprising coupling means for engaging the dosing assembly. At least one of the coupling means of the cartridge assembly is unitarily moulded with the cartridge. The dosing assembly comprises a plunger means and has coupling means for engaging the cartridge assembly. The cartridge assembly and the dosing assembly are coupled together for delivering selected doses of medication. The cartridge is preferably moulded from a plastic material, such as a transparent material, and may be housed in a cartridge housing for protection of the cartridge.

Abstract: A cylinder ampoule (1) having a first end sealed by a closure through which an injection unit can communicate with a medicament in the ampoule and a second end closed by a piston (3) which can be forced into the ampoule (1) to press out a dose of a medicament stored in the ampoule between the closure and the piston (3) through said injection unit, which cylinder ampoule (1) has a non-circular inner cross section and which piston (3) has a non-circular cross section corresponding to the inner cross section of the ampoule (1). A piston rod (4) has a pressure foot (5) which has a cross section corresponding to the inner cross section of the ampoule (1) and is non-rotatably connected to the piston rod (4).

Abstract: The invention concerns an apparatus for the registration of the setting of a medical device, the setting of which implies a mechanical adjustment of at least two relatively moveable elements of the device. The invention is characterized in that the apparatus is intended for disconnectible engagement with the medical device, and that it has detector means for detecting the mechanical adjustment and has information means arranged for providing information related to said mechanical adjustment.
