  • Publication number: 20170319790
    Abstract: A drug delivery device adapted to receive a drug-filled cartridge (10), comprising dose setting means allowing a user to set a desired dose of drug to be expelled, an electronic controller (70,270) adapted to control a motor (51) to move a drive member to thereby expel an amount of drug from a received cartridge corresponding to a set dose, and means for estimating the amount of free air in a loaded cartridge. The controller is adapted to detect an error state if the estimated amount of free air in the cartridge is larger than or equals a given percentage of the amount of drug corresponding to a set dose.

  • Publication number: 20160106927
    Abstract: A drug delivery device comprises drug expelling means and a drug-filled cartridge, the cartridge comprising an outlet and an axially displaceable piston. The drug expelling means comprises a drive member adapted to engage and axially move the piston to thereby expel an amount of drug from the cartridge through the outlet, and a motor for moving the drive member. The device further comprises a display adapted to display a dose amount to be expelled, communication means allowing dose setting data to be received from an external device, and an electronic controller adapted to store received dose setting data, control the display, and control the motor to move the drive member to thereby expel an amount of drug corresponding to a set dose.
