  • Publication number: 20240252761
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drug delivery device (1000) comprising a housing (100) configured to receive a medicament container (8) with a stopper (82) proximally sealing the medicament container. Furthermore, the drug delivery device comprises a plunger rod (1) arranged axially movable with respect to the housing and/or the medicament container and a feedback mechanism operatively coupled to the plunger rod. The drug delivery device has an initial state in which the plunger rod is in a start position. The drug delivery device is configured such that, in the initial state and when the medicament container is received in the housing, the plunger rod is axially spaced from the stopper. Furthermore, the drug delivery device is configured such that the plunger rod is axially movable from its start position in a distal direction into a feedback position.

  • Publication number: 20240207530
    Abstract: A drive subassembly for a drug delivery device includes a housing element, a drive member, an energy member configured to provide energy to induce a torque onto the drive member tending to rotate the drive member in a first rotational direction, wherein the drive subassembly has a first and a second locked state. In the first locked state, a first rotation-locking mechanism prevents a movement of the drive member in the first rotational direction induced by the energy member. In the second locked state, a second rotation-locking mechanism prevents a rotation of the drive member in the first rotational direction induced by the energy member and an axial-locking mechanism prevents an axial movement of the drive member. The drive subassembly is configured to be switched from the second locked state into the first locked state by releasing the axial-locking mechanism and moving the drive member in an axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20240207519
    Abstract: An arrangement for a drug delivery device includes a housing element, a plunger rod being arranged axially movable with respect to the housing element, a transfer member being arranged rotatably with respect to the housing element, an energy member configured to provide energy to induce a torque onto the transfer member, wherein the transfer member and the plunger rod are operatively coupled such that a rotation of the transfer member is converted into an axial movement of the plunger rod. The arrangement comprises a released state in which (i) the energy member induces a torque onto the transfer member, and (ii) the transfer member rotates in a first rotational direction due to the induced torque and thereby forces the plunger rod to move axially in a distal direction. The plunger rod being rotationally fixed with respect to the housing element.

  • Publication number: 20240066225
    Abstract: An arrangement for a drug delivery device includes a housing with a proximal end and a distal end, a needle shield remover configured to be rotationally locked to a needle shield covering a needle, and a guiding interface. The needle shield remover is releasably connectable to the housing. The guiding interface is configured such that, when the needle shield remover rotates with respect to the housing from a state in which the needle shield remover is connected to the housing, the guiding interface guides a movement of the needle shield remover relative to the housing in a direction away from the proximal end of the housing to disconnect the needle shield remover from the housing. Movement of the needle shield remover relative to the housing to disconnect the needle shield remover includes an axial movement and a rotational movement of the needle shield remover relative to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20240033443
    Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing element, a release member, a plunger rod, an energy member, and a displaceable element. The drug delivery device has a first locked state in which the release member is in a distal position and arranged to hold the displaceable element in a first radial position to prevent a movement of the plunger rod in distal direction by the energy member. The drug delivery device is configured to be switched from the first locked state into a released state by moving the release member from the distal position into a proximal position. In the released state, the release member no longer holds the displaceable element in the first radial position, which enables a movement of the displaceable element from the first radial position into a second radial position to release the plunger rod such that the plunger rod moves in the distal direction.
