Claim 18:
19. A method of measuring a mechanical load during assembly of an injection device, the injection device comprising a body to accommodate a drive mechanism and a cartridge holder connectable to the body and configured to accommodate a cartridge, the method comprising:
receiving at least a first signal from at least one sensor element mechanically connected to at least one sensor tab, the at least one sensor element being configured to measure a deformation of the at least one sensor tab, the sensor tab being arranged on or integrated into an elongated body of a measurement probe inserted into the cartridge holder of the injection device, wherein the at least one sensor tab comprises an outside surface portion, an inside surface portion, and an outer abutment section, wherein the outer abutment section is configured to abut with an inside of a sidewall of the cartridge holder and wherein the at least one sensor tab is deformable in a radial direction; and
determining a radial force acting on the measurement probe during the assembly of the cartridge holder and the body of the injection device on the basis of the at least first signal, wherein the first signal indicating a deformation of the first sensor tab.
