Injection device with an electronic detector

An injection device for administering a dose of a medicament, the injection device comprising:

• a housing extending along a longitudinal direction and configured to accommodate a cartridge filled with the medicament;
• a drive mechanism configured to operably engage with the cartridge for dispensing the dose of the medicament;
• a first component movable relative to the housing along the longitudinal direction between an initial position and a trigger position for dispensing the dose;
• a second component rotatable relative to the housing for at least one of setting the dose or dispensing the dose;
• a cavity provided in or formed by at least one of the first component or the second component, wherein the cavity is sized to accommodate an electronic detector,
• wherein one of the first component and the second component is configured for attachment of the electronic detector, and the electronic detector is configured to recognize a code provided on the other one of the first component and the second component;
• and
• at least one first gasket fastened to one of the housing, the first component, and the second component, wherein the at least one first gasket is configured to seal the cavity against an ingress of impurities at least while the first component is in the initial position,
• wherein the at least one first gasket is provided on one of a proximal end face of the housing and a longitudinal end face of one of the first component and the second component, the at least one first gasket being sealingly engaged with the proximal end face and the longitudinal end face when the first component is in the initial position.
