  • Publication number: 20240123159
    Abstract: 1. A drug delivery device for delivering a plurality of fixed doses of a medicament, wherein the drug delivery device comprises a needle magazine with a plurality of needle assemblies, a needle positioning mechanism, a drive mechanism for delivering a fixed dose of the plurality of fixed doses, in response to activation, an activation mechanism for activating the drive mechanism comprising a movable shield (110, 310), wherein the shield (110, 310) is adapted to activate the drive mechanism, in response moving the shield to the proximal position. The drug delivery device further comprises a drop lock mechanism comprising a non-blocking state and a blocking state.

  • Publication number: 20240115811
    Abstract: A drug delivery device (100, 300) for delivering a plurality of fixed doses, comprising a drive mechanism with a prestrained drive spring (108) for sequentially expelling the plurality of fixed doses, and an activation mechanism comprising an axially movable activation assembly (110, 310) for activating the drive mechanism to expel a fixed dose, and user operable for activation as a first user operation. The device further comprises a double dose prevention mechanism adapted to shift from a non-blocking to a blocking state after the first user operation of activating the activation mechanism, and adapted to shift from the blocking to the nonblocking state, in response to the second user operation of operating the unlocking structure.

  • Publication number: 20240108818
    Abstract: A drug delivery device (100, 300), comprising a rotatable drum (210, 410) with a plurality of needle assemblies, a shield (110, 410) and a needle change mechanism (134, 233, 105.2, 231, 105.2, 214, 305.1, 317). The needle change mechanism is operationally coupled to the drum (210, 410) and the shield (110, 310). The needle change mechanism is having an active state adapted to induce rotation of the drum (210, 410), in response to a movement of the shield (110, 310), the needle change mechanism further comprises a passive state wherein no rotation is induced on the drum (210, 410). The needle change mechanism is, in response to the second movement of the shield (110, 310), adapted to change from the passive state to the active state after the hollow needle (224, 424) disconnects from the cartridge, whereby it is prevented that the drum (210, 410) rotates while the hollow needle (224, 424) is connected with the cartridge.
