  • Patent number: 9623180
    Abstract: This pharmaceutical injection system is provided with a pharmaceutical injection device, a charging device, a detector, and an alarm section. The pharmaceutical injection device has a main body case and a pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion provided within the main body case and to which a pharmaceutical syringe is removably mounted. The pharmaceutical injection device is placed in the charging device, and the charging device has a charger for charging the pharmaceutical injection device. The detector is provided to the pharmaceutical injection device and/or the charging device and detects whether or not the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion. The alarm section is connected to the detector and emits an alarm when it is detected that the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted onto the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion.

  • Patent number: 9526831
    Abstract: This pharmaceutical injection device comprises a main body case (2) that has an injection needle insertion and retraction opening (1); pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion (3) that is provided within the main body case (2); a piston (5) that is provided movably with respect to a pharmaceutical syringe (4) that is mounted to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion (3); a drive mechanism (6) that drives the piston (5); a controller (7) that is electrically connected to the drive mechanism (6); and a display section (35) that is electrically connected to the controller (7). The controller (7) updates the display content that is displayed on the display section (35) according to the number of times the drive mechanism (6) has been driven, and saves this updated display content in a memory (51), so that when the drive mechanism (6) has been driven a specific number of times, the display contents during the various instances of drive that were saved in the memory (51) are combined.

  • Patent number: 9289551
    Abstract: This pharmaceutical injection device comprises a main body case; a pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion provided inside the main body case; a piston that is provided so as to be movable with respect to a pharmaceutical syringe that is removably attached to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion; a drive mechanism for driving the piston; a controller that is electrically connected to the drive mechanism; and an acceleration sensor that is connected to the controller. When a manual mixing mode of the pharmaceutical syringe is selected, the controller changes to the next step (air venting mode) if the inclination angle of the main body case sensed by the acceleration sensor is greater than a specific value.
