Abstract: Device for use with an inhaler, the inhaler having a body, an aerosol canister arranged in the body containing medicament, including a metered dose chamber and able to dispense a metered dose of the medicament, a nozzle in fluid communication with the canister, an opening for dispensing of the medicament in fluid communication with the nozzle. The device includes elements for activating the canister to open and dispense the medicament in response to an airflow in the inhaler caused by inhalation of a user through the opening, return elements for deactivating the canister to close it, characterized in that the return elements deactivate the canister when the airflow drops below a certain threshold value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the delivery of predetermined doses of liquid medicament to a patient, which medicament is intended to be inhaled by the patient or intended to be injected into the body of the patient. The device is adapted to be in a medicament delivery state and in a medicament non-delivery state. When the device is in a medicament delivery state, said device is adapted to drive a piston into a cartridge containing the liquid medicament to be delivered, with a force that is above or equal to a predetermined minimum force value and below a predetermined maximum force value. The minimum force value is the lowest force value needed to deliver the predetermined dose and the maximum force value is the first force value at which it exists a risk of damaging the cartridge or the components of the device.

Abstract: A device for handling injection needles, especially in relation to injectors, includes grip elements for gripping, removing and retaining a sheath surrounding a needle attached to an injector device, guide elements for guiding the sheath back onto the needle after completed injection, elements for removing the needle from the injector device and activation elements capable of acting on the grip elements for removing the needle from the device.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system for presenting and distributing information related to the medication of a patient comprising a terminal device and a method of presenting and distributing information related to the medication of the patient in such a system. The system comprises a terminal device communicating with a wireless communication system, and a medicament device including medicament containing means arranged to hold a medicament; a dispensing mechanismarranged for dispensing medicament from the medicament containing means; means for obtaining information related to the medication of the patient; and a communication device for wireless communication to enable transfer of data related to the information from the medicament device to the terminal device comprising, inter alia, means for receiving the data from the communication device and being arranged to present information related to the medication of the patient to a user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device comprising a generally elongated tubular housing, a syringe containing medicament and having a needle, a needle shield slidably arranged to the housing and protruding a distance outside the front end of the housing, a plunger arranged to act on the syringe and a pre-tensioned drive member arranged the drive the plunger, characterized in that it comprises radially acting holding elements capable of releasably holding the plunger, axially acting actuator elements connected to the needle shield and capable of releasably locking the holding elements and axially acting activator elements capable of releasing the holding elements from the actuator elements have when the needle shield and the actuator elements has moved axially a certain distance due to that injection device has been placed against an injection site.

Abstract: An inhaler for medicament in powder form with an opening intended for inhalation. The powder medicament is arranged in the inhaler in a number of enclosures, each enclosure including a specific dose of medicament. A member is provided for enabling access to the dose of medicament. The member is arranged and designed such that it is able to be inserted inside the enclosure and establish at least one outlet passage, between the interior of the enclosure and the inhalation opening, through which outlet passage the medicament is delivered to the patient upon inhalation.
