Abstract: A drug delivery device (100), including a body (104, 116) having a reservoir (164, 176) disposed therein for containing a medicament and an injection needle (152) for penetrating the skin of a patient, the needle (152) providing a path for the medicament between the reservoir (164, 176) and the patient. The device (100) also includes a needle cover (114) for selectively covering the injection needle (152), an adhesive (264) for selectively adhering the device to the patient, a release liner (500) for selectively covering a patient side of the adhesive (264), and a connecting means (112, 520, 512, 508, 524) for connecting the needle cover (114) and the release liner (500) such that removal of one of the needle cover (114) and the release liner (500) from the device (100) removes the other one of the needle cover (114) and the release liner (500).

Abstract: A drug delivery device, including a body having a reservoir disposed therein for containing a medicament, the reservoir including a flexible wall; a plunger movable within the body for causing the medicament to be expelled from the reservoir, the plunger having a contact surface that is not affixed to said flexible reservoir wall; a spring biasing the plunger toward the reservoir; and means for selectively maintaining the plunger in a pre-activated position with respect to the reservoir and, upon releasing the plunger from the pre-activated position, for guiding the plunger to move under the force of the spring such that the contact surface of the plunger contacts the flexible reservoir wall to pressurize the reservoir for delivery of the medicament to a patient.

Abstract: Accordingly, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide a medicament delivery system with a delay mechanism to ensure dose completion prior to activation of at least one subsystem or operation. The foregoing and/or other aspects of the present invention are achieved by providing a medicament delivery system, including a medicament container and a delay mechanism that is activated prior to completion of medicament delivery from the medicament container. The delay mechanism automatically activates a subsystem or initiates an operation subsequent to completion of medicament delivery. The foregoing and/or other aspects of the present invention are also achieved by providing a method of delivering a medicament, the method including receiving an activation command, and in response to receiving the activation command, releasing an ejection mechanism to eject medicament from a container.
