Publication number: 20230270941Abstract: A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Shane Alistair Day, Daniel Thomas De Sausmarez Lintell, Steven Wimpenny, Christopher Jones, Aidan Michael O'Hare, Barry Yates, Rober Frederick Veasey, Christopher James Smith, Malcolm Boyd, David Martin Leak, Carmen Patricia Keating, David Sanders, Elizabeth Anne Marshall

Patent number: 9308329Abstract: A medication delivery device comprises a housing having a proximal end (P) and a distal end (D), a cartridge for holding a medication (M), the cartridge having an outlet, a moveable piston being retained within the cartridge, a drive member moveable in a proximal direction with respect to the housing for setting a dose of medication (M) to be delivered and in the distal direction with respect to the housing for delivering the dose and a piston rod adapted to drive the piston in a distal direction with respect to the cartridge for delivering the dose. The drive member is releasably coupled to the piston rod. The medication delivery device further comprises a resilient member which is arranged to move the drive member in the proximal direction with respect to the housing after dose delivery, thereby reducing pressure of the piston rod on the piston.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2009Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis DeutschlandInventors: Malcolm Boyd, Robert Veasey, David Plumptre
