Administration device comprising indication unit and method for setting a dose
First Claim
1. An administration device for administering a liquid drug in adjustable doses, the administration device comprising:
- an injection unit having a dosing mechanism and a manually operated dose setting component that sets an administration dose amount of the liquid drug to be administered by the dosing mechanism; and
an electronic indication unit comprising a display that graphically indicates before administration of the liquid drug a dose amount deviation equal to the difference of the administration dose amount set using the dose setting component and a target dose amount stored in or entered into the administration device.

Abstract
An administration device for the administration of a liquid drug in adjustable doses may comprise an injection unit and an electronic indication unit. The injection unit may comprise a dosing mechanism and a manually operated dose setting component. The manually operated dose setting component may adjust the dosing mechanism to administer an administration dose amount of the liquid drug. The electronic indication unit may indicate a relationship between the administration dose amount and a target dose amount. A method for setting a dose of a liquid drug for administration may comprise providing an administration device, operating a manually operated dose setting component of the administration device, and continuing to operate the dose setting component until an electronic indication unit indicates that the administration dose amount is equal to the target dose amount.
