Abstract: The present invention relates to an auto-injector. The auto-injector includes a housing for receiving a syringe having a plunger, a needle, and a barrel containing a dose of medicament; a drive mechanism configured to, when triggered by a user, automatically drive the plunger from a first position to a second position to expel the dose from the barrel of the syringe through the needle at a front end of the auto-injector; a detector arrangement configured to detect a state of the plunger including at least departure from the first position and arrival at the second position; and an indicator arrangement comprising a display having one or more electrically-operated display elements and configured to provide, responsive to the detector arrangement detecting the departure of the plunger from the first position, a visual indication comprising cycles of indications, the cycles of indications repeating until the detector arrangement detects the arrival of the plunger at the second position.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a needle shield remover comprising at least one flexible elongate member, the elongate member being provided with a gripping member configured to engage a needle shield.

Abstract: An auto-injector for receiving and operating a syringe, the auto-injector comprising a housing for receiving the syringe. The housing comprises a main body and a door operable into a first position and a second position, wherein the syringe is receivable within the housing when the door is in the first position. The door is configured to couple to: (i) a first plunger driver for priming thereof on a first movement of the door; and (ii) a second plunger driver for priming thereof on a second movement of the door. The first and second plunger drivers are configured on activation of the auto-injector to drive a plunger forward within the auto-injector to operate the syringe received within the auto-injector.

Abstract: A needle shield remover for removing a needle shield from a syringe. The needle shield remover comprises a receiving means to receive at least part of the needle shield, removing means to detach the needle shield from the syringe whilst it is present in the receiving means; and retaining means to temporarily retain the needle shield in the receiving means after removal of the syringe. Temporarily retaining the needle shield in the needle shield remover allows the needle shield remover to be reused. Additionally, by retaining the needle shield the needle shield remover prevents the needle shield from being lost or dropped on the floor when it is not retained within the needle shield.
