Claims (14)

1. Hjælpeanordning (2), der er konfigureret til tilkobling til en injektionsanordning (1) ifølge krav 10, hvilken hjælpeanordning omfatter: et kamera (25) , der er konfigureret til at generere kameraoutput, der indikerer et udsnit, der kan dækkes af kameraet, og blive placeret på en optisk bane med en overflade af en injektionsanordning koblet til hjælpeanordningen under brug; og en lyskilde (29a-29d), der har et emissionsspektrum og er konfigureret til at belyse overfladen med lys indenfor emissionsspektret under brug, der er kendetegnet ved, at den omfatter et filter (131), der er konfigureret til at blive placeret på den optiske bane mellem kameraet og overfladen under brug, hvilket filter er i det væsentlige uigennemskinneligt for lys over hele emissionsspektret fra lyskilden og i det væsentlige transparent for lys med mindst én frekvens uden for emissionsspektret fra lyskilden, der udsendes som fluorescens fra markeringerne på muffen (19) på en injektionsanordning ifølge krav 10.
2. Hjælpeanordning ifølge krav 1, der yderligere omfatter et beskyttelsesvindue (80), der er konfigureret til at blive placeret på den optiske bane mellem filteret og overfladen under brug, hvilket beskyttelsesvindue er i det væsentlige transparent for lys med mindst én frekvens i emissionsspektret fra lyskilden og for lys med den mindst ene frekvens uden for emissionsspektret fra lyskilden.
3. Hjælpeanordning ifølge krav 2, hvor filteret er koblet til beskyttelsesvinduet.
4. Hjælpeanordning ifølge krav 1, der yderligere omfatter et beskyttelsesvindue (80), hvor filteret er konfigureret til at blive placeret på den optiske bane mellem beskyttelsesvinduet og overfladen under brug, hvilket beskyttelsesvindue er i det væsentlige transparent for lys med mindst én frekvens i emissionsspektret fra lyskilden og for lys med den mindst ene frekvens uden for emissionsspektret fra lyskilden.
5. Hjælpeanordning ifølge krav 4, hvor filteret er koblet til beskyttelsesvinduet.
6. Hjælpeanordning ifølge krav 1, der yderligere omfatter et beskyttelsesvindue, der er konfigureret til at blive placeret på den optiske bane mellem kameraet og overfladen under brug, hvor mindst en del af beskyttelsesvinduet omfatter filteret.
7. Hjælpeanordning ifølge krav 6, hvor en del af beskyttelsesvinduet er i det væsentlige transparent for lys med mindst én frekvens i emissionsspektret fra lyskilden.
8. Hjælpeanordning ifølge et hvilket som helst af ovennævnte krav, hvor lyskilden er konfigureret til at udsende én af ultraviolet, infrarød og synlig stråling, og filteret er i det væsentlige transparent for en anden af ultraviolet, infrarød og synlig stråling.
9. Hjælpeanordning ifølge et hvilket som helst af ovennævnte krav, hvor lyskilden er konfigureret til at udsende ultraviolet stråling, og filteret er konfigureret til at blokere ultraviolet stråling, mens det er transparent for synlig stråling.
10. Injektionsanordning (1), der omfatter: en muffe (19), hvorpå er dannet en eller flere markeringer, der angiver en dosis af medikament; og et vindue (13) , hvorigennem en del af muffen er synlig, hvor anordningen er konfigureret til at ændre den del af muffen, der er synlig gennem vinduet, når en medikamentdosis er dispenseret, der er kendetegnet ved, at den ene eller de flere markeringer er dannet af et fluorescerende materiale, der udsender fluorescens, når det belyses med lyskilden (29a-29d) i en hjælpeanordning (2) ifølge krav 1, hvor fluorescensen omfatter mindst én frekvens uden for emissionsspektret fra lyskilden, for hvilken filteret på hjælpeanordningen er i det væsentlige transparent.
11. Anordning ifølge krav 10, hvor det fluorescerende materiale er tilvejebragt på muffen i form af information, der viser en medikamentdosis.
12. Anordning ifølge krav 10, hvor det fluorescerende materiale er tilvejebragt på muffen, således at det fluorescerende materiale viser formen af information, der angiver en medikamentdosis.
13. Anordning ifølge et hvilket som helst af kravene 10 til 12, hvor det fluorescerende materiale er konfigureret, således at det fluorescerende materiale, når det belyses med én af ultraviolet, infrarød og synlig stråling, udsender optisk fluorescens gennem vinduet, som er en anden af ultraviolet, infrarød og synlig stråling.
14. Anordning ifølge et hvilket som helst af kravene 10 til 13, hvor det fluorescerende materiale er konfigureret, således at det fluorescerende materiale udsender synlig stråling gennem vinduet, når det belyses med ultraviolet stråling.
