Abstract: Described is a needle assembly magazine comprising of a housing adapted to contain a plurality of needle assemblies and a slider movably disposed within the housing. The housing has a first opening providing access to an unused needle assembly and a second opening for receiving into the housing a used needle assembly. The slider separates the housing into a first region for unused needle assemblies and a second region for used needle assemblies. Movement of the slider advances the unused needle assemblies within the housing toward the first opening.

Abstract: Described is a needle hub comprising a proximal end adapted to engage a medicament delivery device, a distal end having an opening, a shoulder disposed between the proximal end and the distal end, and a needle assembly engagement mechanism (F1) coupled to the shoulder and adapted to releasably engage a needle assembly. The needle assembly engagement mechanism (F1) includes two or more resilient arms adapted to releasably engage a retainer element on the needle assembly.

Abstract: A medicament delivery device is presented having a housing, a safety sleeve movable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the housing, a guide sleeve rotatably disposed in the housing, a plunger slidably disposed in the safety sleeve, and a button coupled to the housing. When the safety sleeve is in the retracted position, translation of the button relative to the housing causes the guide sleeve to rotate relative to the safety sleeve. Rotation of the guide sleeve relative to the safety sleeve allows the plunger to translate a predetermined axial distance relative to the safety sleeve.

Abstract: Described is a needle assembly storage device. The storage device includes a container, a pocket formed in the container adapted to receive a needle assembly, and a pull linkage connecting the needle assembly to the container. The pull linkage disengages the needle assembly when sufficient rotational force has been applied to the needle assembly in a first direction. A projection on the needle assembly prevents rotation of the needle assembly in the pocket in a second rotation direction opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: Described is a needle assembly reuse prevention mechanism comprising a barrier movable between a retracted position and an extended position, a spring coupled to the barrier, a pin formed on the barrier, and a slot receiving the pin. When in the extended position, the barrier substantially covers an opening of a needle assembly storage compartment. The spring forces the barrier in a first direction. The slot has at least one abutment face for abutting the pin and preventing movement of the barrier in the first direction.
