Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a magnifying device attachable to an injection device. The magnifying device includes a frame having a distal end and having a proximal end opposite to the distal end and further has a receptacle extending from the distal end towards the proximal end. The receptacle is accessible from the distal end to receive a proximal end section of the injection device therein. A magnifying lens is fixed to the proximal end of the frame and extending at least partially across the proximal end of the frame.

1-15. (canceled)
A magnifying device attachable to an injection device, the magnifying device comprising:
- a frame comprising a distal end, a proximal end opposite to the distal end, and a receptacle extending from the distal end towards the proximal end, wherein the receptacle is accessible from the distal end to receive a proximal end portion of the injection device therein;
- and
- a magnifying lens fixed to the proximal end of the frame and extending at least partially across the proximal end of the frame.
An injection device for administering a dose of a liquid medicament and comprising:
- a housing to receive a cartridge having a barrel containing the medicament and having a piston axially displaceable inside the barrel;
- a drive mechanism having a piston rod to operably engage with the piston;
- a dose selector at a proximal end portion of the housing and being operable for setting the dose;
- a display arrangement in a proximal end face of the dose selector to visualize a dose information;
- and
- a magnifying device attached to the dose selector, the magnifying device comprising
- a frame comprising a distal end, a proximal end opposite to the distal end, and a receptacle extending from the distal end towards the proximal end, wherein the receptacle is accessible from the distal end to receive the proximal end portion of the injection device therein;
- and
- a magnifying lens fixed to the proximal end of the frame and extending at least partially across the proximal end of the frame.
A method comprising:
- attaching a magnifying device to a dose selector of an injection device such that a receptacle of a frame of the magnifying device receives a proximal end portion of the injection device and such that a magnifying lens of the magnifying device covers at least a portion of a display arrangement of the injection device;
- and
- dispensing a dose of medicament from the injection device, thereby causing the display arrangement to visualize information related to the dose of medicament.
