Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a medication delivery system including a medication administration device, a medication within the medication administration device, a container defining a cavity receiving the medication administration device, and a cap attached to the container and sealing the medication administration device within the cavity. The medication administration device includes an actuator extending from a body and operable to expel the medication by depressing the actuator into the body. The cap includes hold down members positioned to bear against the body of the medication administration device to prevent movement of the medication administration device toward the cap beyond a predetermined distance. The medication administration device is thereby prevented, inter alia, from prematurely discharging the medication during storage and transport.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein describe a drug delivery device and a method of use thereof. The device includes a medicament container, a compressed gas container, an outlet, and a double-sided needle located within the housing. When a user presses an actuation button, the compressed air container is moved towards the medicament container and towards a proximal end of the double-sided needle. The double-sided needle pierces both the compressed gas container and the medicament container, opening fluid flow communication between the two containers, and causing medicament to be expelled out of the medicament container.

Abstract: A device for removing a protective shield such as a needle shield is disclosed. The device includes a cup shaped body with a sidewall, a distal bottom wall and a proximal opening. The protective shield is insertable into the cup shaped body through its proximal opening. Fingers are disposed opposite each other in openings in the sidewall. The fingers are flexibly coupled with the sidewall at a proximal end of the finger and can be resiliently biased inwardly to engage the protective shield. Each finger includes at least one projection for engaging the protective shield. The fingers may also include a distal engagement surface for engaging a lip on the protective shield.

Abstract: An automatic injection device is provided, where the device includes a syringe carrier and a retraction assembly. The syringe carrier may include two identical parts that are discrete from one another and interlock with one another. Carrier includes a cushion to support the syringe. Protrusions may be provided on cushion to further support syringe. The retraction assembly includes a shuttle and a follower, the follower having a moveable latch. The follower has a coupled configuration in which the latch is biasedly coupled to the shuttle, and a decoupled configuration in which the latch is in sliding engagement with a curvilinear surface of the shuttle.
