Abstract

The pharmaceutical injection device includes a pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion ( 3 ) provided within a main body case ( 2 ) and to which a pharmaceutical syringe ( 4 ) is removably mounted, a piston ( 5 ) provided movably with respect to the pharmaceutical syringe ( 4 ) mounted to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion ( 3 ), a drive mechanism ( 6 ) for driving the piston ( 5 ), a controller ( 7 ) that is electrically connected to the drive mechanism ( 6 ), a display section ( 35 ) that is connected to the controller ( 7 ), and an encoder ( 26 ) that is connected to the controller ( 7 ) and detects the amount of the pharmaceutical remaining inside the pharmaceutical syringe ( 4 ). The controller ( 7 ) displays a warning on the display section ( 35 ) recommending removal of the pharmaceutical syringe ( 4 ) from the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion ( 3 ) when the presence of a pharmaceutical is detected by the encoder ( 26 ).

Claims (16)

1. A pharmaceutical injection device, comprising:

a main body case that has an opening through which an injection needle is inserted and retracted;

a pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion that is provided inside the main body case and to which a pharmaceutical syringe is removably mounted;

a piston that is provided movably with respect to the pharmaceutical syringe mounted to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion;

a drive mechanism configured to drive the piston, the drive mechanism including a piston drive motor configured to drive the piston;

a controller that is electrically connected to the drive mechanism;

a display section that is connected to the controller;

a power button that is provided to a periphery of the main body case; and

a remaining pharmaceutical sensor that is connected to the controller and configured to sense the amount of pharmaceutical remaining in the pharmaceutical syringe from the amount of movement of the piston,

wherein, when the presence of a pharmaceutical is detected by the remaining pharmaceutical sensor;

the controller causes the display section to display a warning recommending removal of the pharmaceutical syringe from the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion for storing the pharmaceutical syringe, and

the power for the device will not turn off even if the power button is pressed when the device is in a state in which the pharmaceutical syringe has not been removed from the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion.

2. The pharmaceutical injection device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller turns off power of the device after the pharmaceutical syringe has been removed from the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion following the display of a warning on the display section.

3. The pharmaceutical injection device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the presence of a pharmaceutical is not detected by the remaining pharmaceutical sensor;

the controller causes the display section to display a warning recommending attaching a new pharmaceutical syringe on the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion, and

the power for the device will turn off when the power button is pressed even if the pharmaceutical syringe has not been removed from the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion.
