Medicament delivery device and method of controlling the device
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a medicament delivery device for the administration of one or more drug agents, wherein the device has a plurality of states including a predetermined state, the method comprising:
- determining that the device is in the predetermined state;
responsive to determining that the device is in the predetermined state, setting the device in a priming mode and disabling a drug delivery mode during said predetermined state, wherein the priming mode is for priming the device and the drug delivery mode is for administering delivery of a dose of the one or more drug agents;
determining that the device is in a state different than the predetermined state;
responsive to determining that the device is in a state different than the predetermined state, setting the device in the drug delivery mode while maintaining enablement of the priming mode;
facilitating selection, via a user interface, between the priming mode and the drug delivery mode when the device is in said state different than the predetermined state, wherein the user interface is configured to provide a first selectable option for priming the device and a second selectable option for delivering a dose; and
responsive to determining that the device is in the predetermined state, providing on the user interface the first selectable option and not the second selectable option to thereby set the device in a mandatory priming mode.

Abstract
A medicament delivery device is shown for the administration of one or more drug agents. The device has a priming mode and a drug delivery mode for administering delivery of the one or more drug agents. The device comprises a controller configured to set the device in a priming mode when one or more predetermined states of the device are identified and to disable the drug delivery mode during said predetermined state(s). When states of the device are different from said predetermined states, the controller can set the device in the drug delivery mode. A priming mode may still be enabled through a user interface.

13. A method of controlling a medicament delivery device for the administration of one or more drug agents, wherein the device has (i) a priming mode for discharging air or a residual medicament from the device and (ii) a drug delivery mode for administering delivery of a dose of the medicament, wherein the device has a plurality of states including one or more first states and one or more second states, wherein the device has a user interface having a priming button for activating the priming mode and a dose-delivery button for activating the drug delivery mode, the method comprising:
-
determining whether the device is in at least one of the one or more first states; responsive to determining that the device is in at least one of the one or more first states, enabling the priming mode via the priming button of the user interface and disabling the drug delivery mode via the drug-delivery button of the user interface during the at least one of the one or more first states, wherein enabling the priming mode and disabling the drug-delivery mode sets the device in a mandatory priming mode, and wherein during the mandatory priming mode the dose of the medicament cannot be delivered; determining whether the device is in at least one of the one or more second states; and responsive to determining that the device is in at least one of the one or more second states, enabling the priming mode via the priming button of the user interface and enabling the drug delivery mode via the drug-delivery button of the user interface during the at least one of the one or more second states. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
