Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080208123ADMINISTERING DEVICE WITH COMPULSORY PRIMING - A device for administering a product after executing a priming process, the device including a housing for accommodating an ampoule containing the product, a mechanism for moving a plug or piston in the ampoule, and a lock arrangement operably coupled to the mechanism which prevents an administration of the product without a previous execution of the priming process, wherein, upon or after executing the priming process, the lock arrangement is released and the mechanism is operable for administering the product.08-28-2008
20080262427AUTO-INJECTOR ACTIVATION TRIGGERING ELEMENT - An injection device, e.g. an automatic injector, including a switching element that can be displaced along a longitudinal axis of the injection device from a starting position to a release position via a coupling position, and a triggering element that can be displaced transversely to the longitudinal axis, wherein the switching element includes a control surface element and the triggering element slides along the control surface element at least during the movement of the switching element from the starting position to the coupling position.10-23-2008
20080262443AUTOMATIC INJECTOR SEQUENCE CONTROL FOR A CONTAINER REPLACEMENT - An injection device, e.g. an automatic injector, including a mechanism holder, an advancing element that can be displaced along a longitudinal axis in relation to the mechanism holder, an elasticity element for driving the advancing element, at least one blocking element that is coupled to the advancing element and can engage in the mechanism holder to prevent a longitudinal movement of the advancing element in relation to the mechanism holder, and a locking element that can be displaced along the longitudinal axis in relation to the advancing element and, when in a blocking position in front of the at least one blocking element, blocks the at least one blocking element such that it does not disengage from the mechanism holder. A method of performing or controlling an injection sequence is encompassed.10-23-2008
20090137967PRODUCT DELIVERY DEVICE WITH RAPID PISTON ROD SETTING - A substance delivery device including a casing formed by a first casing portion for a substance reservoir including a piston, a piston rod movable in an advancing direction to move the piston toward an outlet of the reservoir to deliver the substance, a dosing element which performs a dosing movement relative to the casing and, together with the piston rod, performs a delivery movement in the advancing direction, a dosing member connected to the dosing element wherein the dosing member is movable generally transversely to the piston rod to enable the piston rod to be moved counter to the advancing direction, a resetting element movably connected to the first casing portion to perform dosing member and piston rod disengaging and engaging movements, and a cam gear coupling the resetting element to the dosing member, wherein the cam gear forms a guiding rail on which the dosing member is guided.05-28-2009
20090149809OVERLAPPING DISPLAY - A device for administering an injectable product including a housing, a viewing element formed on or in the housing to create a view area, an emptying display movable inside and/or relative to the housing at least partially in or through the view area, and a view release member movable relative to the housing, wherein the visiability of the emptying display can be changed, reduced or eliminated by moving the view release member.06-11-2009
20090221973ADMINISTERING APPARATUS WITH A RESETTABLE ACTIVATING BLOCK - An administering apparatus for administering an injectable substance in doses is provided. The apparatus includes a casing with a reservoir for the substance, a conveying mechanism which acts to deliver a selected dose of the substance from the reservoir, a dosing and activating mechanism which performs a dosing movement and a delivery movement, and which is coupled to the conveying mechanism such that the delivery movement causes the selected dose to be delivered, a dosage indicator sleeve coupled to the dosing and activating mechanism, and a blocking member in a blocking engagement with the dosing and activating mechanism.09-03-2009
20100152661MODULAR ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM - A modular administration appliance including a reusable base unit and a replaceable cartridge detachably connected to the base unit and including a container for a substance and a rotatable transmission element, the base unit including a drive device by which a rotary movement is transmitted between the base unit and the cartridge, and a driving element displaceable in a rotary movement about a rotational axis by the drive device, wherein a rotation of the transmission element causes the ejection of at least a portion of the substance from the container. In some embodiments, the transmission element at least partially surrounds the drive device, and/or the drive element and the transmission element are detachably connectable to each other for transmitting the rotational movement.06-17-2010
20100191214MORE EASILY USABLE ADMINISTERING APPARATUS - An administering device for liquid medicine including a basal rate selection switch for adjusting a basal rate, a bolus button encompassing an adjusting wheel for adjusting a bolus dose, and a trigger button for triggering administering of said dose, wherein the trigger button is centrally disposed in the adjusting wheel and the bolus button is arranged at an angle on the housing to make it easier to manipulate it, and wherein, to increase operational safety, a bolus is administered only when a specific sequence of states of the bolus button have been achieved and/or followed. In some embodiments, the bolus button may be additionally used for acknowledging alerts and/or, in some embodiments, a pillow-type, cushioning cover allows the device to be comfortably used also when sleeping. The invention encompasses a method of using an administering device, wherein during operation of the device, a basal rate selection switch is covered by a locking mechanism which locks a cartridge and an adapter for a catheter on a base unit.07-29-2010
20100191217INJECTION DEVICE WITH A SPRING FOR A NEEDLE PROTECTING SLEEVE - An injection device including a housing, a needle guard sleeve displaceable relative to the housing, and a spring coupled to the guard sleeve such that the guard sleeve can be moved by the spring distally from a proximal position to an end position, the spring also being coupled to a forward drive element displaceable relative to the housing in a drive direction wherein the spring is tensioned upon a movement of the forward drive element in the forward drive direction.07-29-2010
