  • Patent number: 12478740
    Abstract: An injection device comprising a housing with a receptacle for a product, a dosing mechanism for setting a product dosage to be administered and for displaying the set product dosage and a dispensing mechanism for dispensing the product. The dispensing mechanism may include a piston rod, at least one sleeve rotatable relative to the housing to eject the set product dosage, and a button moveable relative to the housing and relative to the at least one sleeve in a dispensing direction from a dosing position into a dispensing position to eject the set product dosage. The injection device can further include a first detector for detecting a position of the button relative to the housing or the at least one sleeve, a second detector for detecting rotational movement of the at least one sleeve or a component part coupled to the at least one sleeve and a feedback generator mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10506972
    Abstract: A device for determining and displaying a dose of a medicament to be administered to a user based, at least in part, on a measure of physical activity of the user described herein includes a determining unit configured determine a measure of physical activity of the user using information provided by one or more sensors. The device also includes a computer readable memory storing a set of predefined templates comprising predefined actions, rules, and parameters defining at least an initial medicament dose value, the measure of physical activity of the user, a time elapsed between an instance of physical activity and a current time, and a target blood glucose value, wherein the determining unit is further configured to determine the medicament dose based, at least in part, on the measure of physical activity of the user, by execution of one or more templates from the set of predefined templates.

  • Patent number: 9649435
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dosing mechanism for a fluid, comprising an inlet, an outlet, a dosing pipe and two valve groups with an inlet valve and an outlet valve each, wherein the inlet is connected to both inlet valves and the outlet is connected to both outlet valves, wherein the inlet valve of one group is arranged to connect the inlet to a first end of the dosing pipe while the outlet valve of the same group is arranged to connect the outlet to a second end of the dosing pipe, wherein the inlet valve of the other group is arranged to connect the inlet to the second end of the dosing pipe while the outlet valve of the same group is arranged to connect the outlet to the first end of the dosing pipe, wherein control means are arranged to open only the valves of one group at a time thereby allowing the fluid to flow from the inlet through the dosing pipe to the outlet, wherein a dosing object is arranged in the dosing pipe in a manner to be translated from one end towards the other by the fluid, wherein a d
