Zero position sensing system for medication delivery device
Abstract:
A sensing system for determining a zero position of a medication delivery device. The sensing system includes at least one actuator member, a biasing member, a stop surface and a sensor. The stop surface is structured and arranged within the device housing for abutment by a push surface of the at least one actuator member as a screw element of the device screws to a zero position from a dosing position. The abutment forces the at least one actuator member to move relative to the screw element from a first position to a second position against a resistance provided by the biasing member. A sensor within an electronics module is adapted to recognize the at least one actuator member at the second position.
