1. A drug delivery device comprising:

  • a main body having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal end is configured to attach to a dispense interface;

    a separable housing configured to couple to and to decouple from the main body, wherein the separable housing includes an electrical connector and a first conduction element in electrical connection with the electrical connector of the separable housing;

    a second conduction element provided by the main body, wherein the second conduction element is configured for establishing an electrical connection between the second conduction element and the electrical connector of the separable housing;

    wherein the device is configured such thatwhen the separable housing is coupled to the main body the administration of a drug by the drug delivery device is prevented, the separable housing covering at least a portion of the distal end of the main body, and establishment of the electrical connection between the second conduction element and an external electrical connector is allowed, andwhen the separable housing is decoupled from the main body the administration of a drug by the drug delivery device is enabled and the establishment of the electrical connection between the second conduction element and the external electrical connector is prevented.
