Abstract: A drug delivery system includes a drug delivery device for dispensing a drug from a reservoir with a device housing extending in an axial direction, a movable dispensing member, a magnetic element with a permanent magnetization coupled the dispensing member, and an electronic module for monitoring a dispensing process executed by the drug delivery device and releasably attachable to the device housing. The electronic module includes a module body, a magnetic field sensor unit and a controller. The sensor unit is adapted to measure an absolute rotational position and an absolute axial position of the magnetic element. The controller is configured to determine on basis of both the absolute rotational and the absolute axial position a fill level or a total amount of dispensed drug.

Abstract: A pre-assembled reservoir unit for attachment to a drive unit of a drug delivery device includes a reservoir, a reservoir holder and a mechanism holder defining a longitudinal axis and connected to the reservoir holder. The mechanism holder includes a housing connecting portion for coaxially attaching the mechanism holder to a housing of the drive unit along the longitudinal axis. The reservoir unit further includes a plunger rod that is in threaded or splined engagement with the mechanism holder.

Abstract: A drug delivery device for dispensing a drug from a reservoir includes a drive unit including an electronic control circuit and a coupling portion, and a reservoir unit including the reservoir with the drug and attachable to the coupling portion. The drive unit includes a plurality of switching elements operatively coupled to the control circuit, and the reservoir unit includes at least one actuation element adapted to selectively switch at least one switching element of the plurality of switching elements when the reservoir unit is attached to the drive unit. A control signal indicative of the reservoir or the drug is generated based on the switched switching element and sent to the control circuit.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a dispensing process of a liquid drug with a drug delivery device involves gradually increasing a motor drive current for a motor of the drug delivery device; measuring, by a sensor, a position or movement of an output member movable by the motor; determining a minimal motor drive current required to initially move the output member from standstill; and determining, from an evolution of successively determined minimal motor drive current values, a delivery device operation status.

Abstract: An injection device for subcutaneously administrating a maximum content of a product container through a cannula at a distal end of the product container, comprising a device housing having an opening at a proximal end, a module housing for covering the opening, which module housing is separable from the device housing by a separating operation, a drive which is arranged in the device housing, for moving an advancing element and for the one-time automatic ejection of the contents of the product container. An electronics module is held in the module housing, with a sensor for detecting the discharging, and a mechanical securing mechanism is provided for enabling the separating operation as or after the automatic ejection is triggered.

Abstract: An autoinjector for dispensing a liquid product, particularly a drug, comprising: an electronic module with a sensor configured to measure the axial movement of a signal element (11) from a position at the start of the dispensing, wherein the signal element (11) is slaved in the dispensing direction, to a position at the end of the dispensing, wherein the signal element (11) strikes the signal stop (12a).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery arrangement including a drug delivery device for dispensing a liquid drug from a reservoir an electronic module. The delivery device includes a device housing and a movable member. The electronic module is releasably attachable to the device housing and includes a module housing, an actuator and an engaging member movable, by the actuator, relative to the module housing. The engaging member can be brought into engagement with the movable member such that a movement of one of the engaging member or the movable member causes a movement of the other of the movable member or the engaging member when the electronic module is attached to the drug delivery device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a modular injection system including a first injection device including a first reservoir unit comprising a reservoir filled with medication, a housing for holding the reservoir and a plunger rod adapted to advance a piston inside the reservoir to dispense the medication and first automatic drive unit releasably attachable to the reservoir unit and including an automatic drive member automatically driven by a power source and adapted to be releasably coupled to the plunger rod. The modular system further comprises a second injection device including a second reservoir unit and a manual drive unit connected to the reservoir unit and including a manual drive member manually driven and connected to a plunger rod of the second reservoir unit. The first and second reservoir unit are identical.

Abstract: A method for establishing a secure connection for transmitting data between a medical device system and a mobile device with wireless communication module is provided, where the medical device system comprises one or multiple devices, where the method comprises multiple steps. On the basis of a non-secure connection, a secure connection is established on the basis of a joint movement of mobile device and at least one device of the medical device system. Movement data are evaluated for this purpose.

Abstract: A delivery device for administering a drug includes a housing, a reservoir and a drive device with a movable piston rod. The piston rod is guided through an aperture in an inner or outer wall of the housing. The aperture is sealed but allows the piston rod to move. The shape of the circumference of the cross-section of the piston rod is approximately a non-trivial curve of constant width.

Abstract: A modular device for administering a fluid medicament fixable to the skin of a user includes a reservoir module with a reservoir defining a first axis, a first connecting structure and a first electrical contact arrangement; and a pump module with a piston rod defining a second axis, a second connecting structure arranged around the piston rod, and a second electrical contact arrangement. The first and second connecting structures are plugged together and the first axis and the second axes lie on a common axis forming a rotational axis. The pump module is rotated relative to the reservoir module about this rotational axis to electrically connect the first and second electrical contact arrangements. The first contact arrangement is displaced radially farther from the first axis than the first connecting structure, and the second electrical contact arrangement is displaced radially farther from the second axis than the second connecting structure.
