  • Publication number: 20230131522
    Abstract: An injection device, in particular an auto-injector, with a single-use part for dispensing an injection solution has a sensor for acquiring a signal, with which an indicator can be determined, which represents a state or a change in state in a process for dispensing the injection solution with the single-use part. Additionally, the injection device has a reusable part, which is held in a detachable manner by coupling to the single-use part and is coupled via a signal connection, wherein the single-use part has the sensor, and/or wherein the reusable part has a reporting system for detecting the single-use part.

  • Patent number: 11191940
    Abstract: Disclosed is septum arrangement having a pierceable septum. The pierceable septum has first and second surfaces positioned opposite to one another and a peripheral surface. A compression element has at least two compression members that partially or fully surround the peripheral surface and has at least two gripping members. Each compression member is connected to at least one gripping member, and the gripping members extend from the compression members towards a common axis (A) which intersects the first surface. A resilient element exerts a biasing force on the pierceable septum that is directed towards the common axis (A). The gripping members define an aperture between them such that introduction of a needle into the aperture exerts a force on the gripping members that counteracts the biasing force and moves the gripping members apart from each other.

  • Publication number: 20210308373
    Abstract: Disclosed is a pierceable septum for use in drug reservoirs and infusion sets. The pierceable septum has an elastic core made from a core material and a surround made from a surrounding material. The surrounding material is more rigid than the core material. The elastic core is fully embedded in the surround.

  • Publication number: 20200188582
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pierceable elastic septum for use in drug reservoirs and infusion sets, the pierceable septum comprising a first surface and a second surface. The first surface and the second surface are positioned opposite to each other. A distance between the first surface and the second surface is not constant over the first surface, and is configured such that if a higher pressure is applied to the first surface as compared to the second surface, a component of a force, which is exerted on the first surface, acts towards an axis (A) which intersects the center of the first surface and the center of the second surface.
