Publication number: 20220409819Abstract: An apparatus configured to be arranged within a housing of an injection device and for detecting a manipulation of the injection device comprises a cam part that is configured to be rotatable relative to a follower part; a resilient member arranged to urge the cam part and the follower part towards abutment with each other wherein rotation of the cam part relative to the follower part causes reciprocating motion of the follower part, wherein the follower part is configured to move reciprocally in an axial direction of the injection device; and a contact sensor provided between the cam part and the follower part and configured to detect the reciprocating motion of the follower part. The cam part comprises a profiled section comprising an axially varying profile arranged to be in abutment with the follower part and configured to cause reciprocating motion of the follower part.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Stefan Bohling, Michael Jugl, Stephan Mueller-Pathle
