Medication device

Abstract

A medication device with a cartridge or syringe having a longitudinal axis and contains a medicament, a housing receiving the cartridge or syringe and having a center axis, and with an RFID device comprising at least one RFID chip with a first antenna, at least one RFID readout unit with a second antenna), wherein the RFID chip is associated with the cartridge or syringe or housing and the RFID readout unit is associated accordingly with the housing or cartridge or syringe. The medication device is characterized in that the first antenna of the RFID chip and the second antenna of the RFID readout unit are each embodied as a coil and aligned such that they are coaxial with one another and with the longitudinal axis as well as with the center axis.

1 . A medication device comprising:
 a cartridge or syringe having a longitudinal axis and containing a medicament,   a housing receiving the cartridge or syringe and having a center axis, and   an RFID device, including
 at least one RFID chip with a first antenna, and 
 at least one RFID readout unit with a second antenna, the RFID chip associated with the cartridge or syringe or housing and the RFID readout unit associated accordingly with the housing or cartridge or syringe, 
   
       wherein the first antenna of the RFID chip and the second antenna of the RFID readout unit are each embodied as a coil and aligned such that they are coaxial with one another and with the longitudinal axis as well as with the center axis. 
     
     
         2 . The medication device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the first antenna and/or the second antenna can be mounted by a heat-shrink sleeve on the cartridge or syringe or the housing. 
     
     
         3 . The medication device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the housing is part of a pen by which the medicament contained in the cartridge or syringe can be administered. 
     
     
         4 . The medication device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the RFID chip contains information about the medicament contained in the cartridge or syringe and/or about the route of administration of the medicament. 
     
     
         5 . The medication device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the first antenna and/or the second antenna comprises at least two sub-antennas. 
     
     
         6 . The medication device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the coil of the first and/or second antenna is embodied as a closed ring or as a ring segment. 
     
     
         7 . The medication device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein the cartridge or syringe is designed as a single- or dual-chamber cartridge. 
     
     
         8 . The medication device as set forth in  claim 1 , wherein it is embodied as a pen.
