Abstract

Disclosed is an auto-injector for administering a medicament, comprising: a housing; a cartridge receiver configured to receive a cartridge comprising a first stopper and a cartridge code feature; a code sensor configured to read the cartridge code feature; a drive module coupled to move a plunger rod configured to move the first stopper; an ejection sensor configured to provide an ejection sensor signal indicative of the position of the plunger rod; a resistance sensor configured to provide a resistance signal indicative of resistance against movement of the plunger rod; and a processing unit coupled to the code sensor; to the drive module, to the ejection sensor and to the resistance sensor. The processing unit being configured to: receive from the code sensor a code signal indicative of the cartridge code feature and determine a plunger rod threshold based on the code signal; control the drive module to move the plunger rod towards the extended plunger rod position; receive the ejection signal and determine present plunger rod position based on the ejection signal; receive the resistance signal; determine a cartridge parameter based on the resistance signal and the present plunger rod position; and control the drive module to adjust the movement of the plunger rod based on the cartridge parameter.
