Device for administering medicinal products

Abstract

An injection device includes a container receiving receptacle configured for receiving a container for containing a medicinal product to be administered; a dispensing mechanism for causing the product in the container to be injected; and a RFID system associated with the container receiving receptacle capable of communicating bidirectionally with a RFID tag attached to the container and enabling the administration of the product only under given conditions. The RFID tag can be therefore read and written by the RFID system. The RFID system further includes an antenna arranged at least partially covering the RFID tag. The dispensing mechanism is triggered by a contact sensor when the device is pressed onto the animal's skin. The needle-free injection device is capable of communicating with external devices (PC, laptops, tablets, smartphones and the like).
