  • Patent number: 10201659
    Abstract: An administration device comprises a container and a mixing device for mixing an active substance (in a first chamber) with a dilution liquid (in a second chamber). The container has a membrane seal at one end and is combined with a mixing device for mixing the active substance. The administration device has an injection needle unit with a distal needle portion facing away from the container for piercing the skin, and disposed opposite thereto is a proximal needle portion facing the membrane when the administration device is in the initial position, which is thrust through the membrane into the container in a mixing position. The administration device includes a protective sleeve arranged coaxially about the injection needle, movable from the initial position only in the proximal direction relative to the container. The protective sleeve can be non-rotatably connected to the container in the mixing position and rotated relative to the mixing device to perform mixing.

  • Patent number: 8672901
    Abstract: A product container holder for accommodating a product container, wherein the product container holder can be separately handled and can be inserted into an injection device, and includes an engaging member that can be moved transversely to the longitudinal axis of the product container holder and which can block a movement of the product container relative to the product container holder in the distal direction, and a securing structure which can be moved relative to the engaging member from an initial position to a securing position in which it restricts the mobility of the engaging member. In some embodiments, a method of making and a method of using the product container holder is encompassed, as is a container and an injection device with which the holder can be used.
