Patent number: 12161849Abstract: An injection device comprising a cap for removing a needle protection cap from a product container, and a method for assembling an injection device. The cap comprises an engaging element for removing the needle protection cap from the product container when the cap is removed from the injection device. The engaging element can be deformed in such a way that the engaging element can be moved from a distanced position, in which the engaging element is radially distanced from the needle protection cap, into an engagement position, in which the engaging element engages with the needle protection cap, with the engaging element being deformed when the cap is removed.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: December 10, 2024Assignee: Ypsomed AGInventors: Felix Groetzbach, Markus Tschirren, Stefan Burren, Urs Kloetzli, Peter Stettler, Benjamin Loretz

Publication number: 20240157062Abstract: The invention relates to an injection system in which drug delivery data are transmitted from a drug delivery device to a mobile device via a wireless Bluetooth connection and, from there, to a remote server via a network connection. A novel method makes it possible for the drug delivery data to be encrypted on the drug delivery device and to be sent via the Bluetooth transmission channel without pairing being carried out. The drug delivery data are decrypted only on the remote server and assigned to the drug delivery device. This process can be supported by both the mobile device and the drug delivery device observing the Bluetooth transmission channel and estimating how far away the relevant sender of the transmitted data is from the mobile device or drug delivery device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Leos Urbanek, Silas Maechler, Stefan Mangold, Peter Stettler, Urs Kloetzli, Adrian Eich, Vinzenz Frauchiger, Lorenz Schmid

Patent number: 11612690Abstract: An injection device includes: a housing with a product container in which a stopper with a bearing face can be moved to a stopper end position and which, proximally to the stopper end position, has a minimum product container cross section; a drive configured to move the stopper, which includes a plunger rod with a drive face that contacts the bearing face; a plunger rod guide is arranged outside the product container and guides the plunger rod, with a plunger rod guide cross section adapted to a plunger rod cross section. The product container only incompletely guides movement of the plunger rod and the plunger rod cross section is not prevented from moving in a tilting direction by the minimum product container cross section, and a plunger rod centering aid a distal end of the plunger rod limits the movement of the plunger rod in the tilting direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Ypsomed AGInventors: Jürgen Wittmann, Markus Tschirren, Urs Klötzli

Patent number: 11458254Abstract: An apparatus and method for adjusting an injection device for administering a substance that includes a device housing with an array of fastening points. The apparatus has at least two housing-like shells, each having at least one holding device and at least one blocking device for attaching to the housing. The holding device of a first shell can be attached to a fastening point, and the holding device of a second shell can be attached to a further fastening point. Upon attaching all of the plurality of housing-like shells to the housing, the blocking devices of the plurality of housing-like shells prevent the disengagement of the plurality of housing-like shells from the housing by blocking detachment of the holding devices from the fastening points. At least one of the housing-like shells comprises an electronic assembly and shell attachment to the housing activates the electronic assembly.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2020Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Ypsomed AGInventors: Lorenz Schmid, Peter Stettler, Urs Klötzli, Adrian Eich, Vinzenz Frauchiger
