Abstract: A needle mounting system and methods for mounting a needle assembly on a needle mount are disclosed. The needle mounting system includes a needle hub having protrusions extending radially inward. A needle mount has a plurality of slots to receive the protrusions. The slots have a first portion that defines a passageway substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the needle mount and a second portion substantially perpendicular to the axis. The needle hub and mount provide a method wherein a needle assembly may be mounted on an injection device without completely rotating the needle hub relative to the needle mount.

Abstract: A needle magazine for holding a plurality of injection needles (50) is described. The needle magazine comprises a first opening adapted to receive the device fluid access portion (120) of a medical delivery device. Each needle (50) is selectively moveable from a respective storage position not aligned with said first opening into a needle mounting position aligned with said first opening. The needle magazine further comprises needle positioning means (41). configured to alter the mutual position between a needle selected from said plurality of needles (50) relative to a neighbor needle when said selected needle moves from its storage position to the needle mounting position.

Abstract: The invention provides a pump assembly comprising a suction pump and a safety valve arranged between the pump inlet and a fluid inlet for the assembly. The safety valve comprises an inlet valve and a moveable control member acting on the safety inlet valve, wherein the control member is operatable between an initial position in which the safety inlet valve is closed, and an activated position in which the safety inlet valve is open, and wherein the control member is moved from the initial to the activated position by means of suction action from the pump. By this arrangement the opening of the safety valve is positively controlled by the suction provided by the pump whereas the safety valve is closed during non-operation of the pump.
