Abstract
The present invention provides an auto-injector that improves auto-injector safety and/or auto-injector use. The present invention includes a housing, a cartridge receiver configured to receive a cartridge with a first stop, and a drive module combined to move a plunger rod configured to move the first stop. , a resistance sensor configured to provide a resistance signal representative of resistance to movement of the plunger rod, and a processing unit connected to the drive module and the resistance sensor. The processing unit controls the drive module to move the plunger rod toward the plunger rod extended position, determines the current plunger rod position, receives the resistance signal, and based on the resistance signal and the current plunger rod position. A drive module is controlled to determine cartridge parameters and adjust movement of the plunger rod based on the cartridge parameters. [Selection diagram] Figure 7
