Controlling products contained in container devices
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a product contained in a container device such that it is detected whether the product contained in the container device is in a suitable status to be used, the product being a drug, the container device being a drug delivery device, the method comprising, when the drug delivery device is arranged in a housing:
- receiving at least one signal from a sensor module, the signal representing an attribute related to the drug contained in the drug delivery device, the sensor module being associated with the housing;
determining if the attribute represented by the signal received from the sensor module is a warning attribute; and
if the attribute is a warning attribute, generating at least one trigger signal to be received by at least a warning module configured to generate a warning based on the trigger signal,wherein the received signal representing the attribute comprises a signal representing a physiochemical characteristic of the drug,the determining if the attribute representing by the signal received from the sensor module is a warning attribute comprises determining if the physicochemical characteristic of the drug contained in the drug delivery device is outside an established range, andif a value of the physicochemical characteristic represented by the signal provided by the sensor module is outside the established range, determining that the status of the drug is not suitable for use.

9. A control module for controlling a drug contained in a drug delivery device, when the drug delivery device is arranged in a housing, the control module comprising:
-
means for receiving at least one signal from a sensor module, the signal representing an attribute related to the drug contained in the drug delivery device, the sensor module being associated with the housing; means for determining if the attribute represented by the signal received from the sensor module is a warning attribute; and means for generating, if the attribute is a warning attribute, at least one trigger signal to be received by at least a warning module configured to generate a warning based on the trigger signal, wherein the signal representing the attribute comprises a signal representing a physiochemical characteristic of the drug, the determining if the attribute representing by the signal received from the sensor module is a warning attribute comprises determining if the physicochemical characteristic of the drug contained in the drug delivery device is outside an established range, and if a value of the physicochemical characteristic represented by the signal provided by the sensor module is outside the established range, the warning indicates that the status of the drug is not suitable for use. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
