Abstract

This pharmaceutical injection system is provided with a pharmaceutical injection device, a charging device, a detector, and an alarm section. The pharmaceutical injection device has a main body case and a pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion provided within the main body case and to which a pharmaceutical syringe is removably mounted. The pharmaceutical injection device is placed in the charging device, and the charging device has a charger for charging the pharmaceutical injection device. The detector is provided to the pharmaceutical injection device and/or the charging device and detects whether or not the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion. The alarm section is connected to the detector and emits an alarm when it is detected that the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted onto the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pharmaceutical injection system, comprising:
a pharmaceutical injection device that has a main body case, a rechargeable battery removably mounted in the main body case, and a pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion provided within the main body case and to which a pharmaceutical syringe is removably mounted;
a charging device in which the pharmaceutical injection device is placed, and which has a charger configured to charge the rechargeable battery in the pharmaceutical injection device;
a detector that is provided in or on the charging device and detects whether or not the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion; and
an alarm section that is connected to the detector, the alarm section being configured to emit an alarm when the detector detects that the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted onto the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion,
wherein the detector protrudes from the charging device to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion side of the pharmaceutical injection device, and includes a switch configured to be pressed by the pharmaceutical injection device when the pharmaceutical injection device has been placed in the charging device.

2. The pharmaceutical injection system according to claim 1 , wherein the alarm section is provided in or on the charging device.

3. The pharmaceutical injection system according to claim 1 , further comprising a timer circuit configured to set a delay time at which the alarm section is driven by the detector.

4. A pharmaceutical injection system, comprising:
a pharmaceutical injection device that has a main body case and a pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion provided within the main body case and to which a pharmaceutical syringe is removably mounted;
a charging device in which the pharmaceutical injection device is placed, and which has a charger configured to charge the pharmaceutical injection device;
a detector that is provided in or on the charging device and detects whether or not the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion; and
an alarm section that is connected to the detector, the alarm section being configured to emit an alarm when the detector detects that the pharmaceutical syringe has been mounted onto the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion,
wherein the detector protrudes from the charging device to the pharmaceutical syringe mounting portion side of the pharmaceutical injection device, and includes a switch configured to be pressed by the pharmaceutical injection device when the pharmaceutical injection device has been placed in the charging device.

5. The pharmaceutical injection system according to claim 4 , wherein the alarm section is provided in or on the charging device.
