Portable drug mixing and delivery device and associated methods

A medication mixing and delivery device comprising:

• a housing;
• a first chamber located within the housing, the first chamber having an outlet;
• a second chamber located within the housing, the second chamber having an inlet;
• a sliding valve located within the housing, the sliding valve being selectively opened or closed by aligning or misaligning the outlet of the first chamber with the inlet of the second chamber so as to cause or prevent fluid communication between the outlet of the first chamber and the inlet of the second chamber;
• a frame operatively connected to a pre-loaded energy source, the frame being in mechanical communication with the sliding valve and wherein movement of the frame is configured to allow the sliding valve to alternate between a closed state and an open state;
• a displacement mechanism configured to reduce the effective volume of the first chamber;
• a delivery assembly configured to be in fluid communication with the second chamber;
• and
• wherein movement of the frame is configured to generate an alignment force, the alignment force being configured to cause the sliding valve to be placed into the open state and wherein the alignment force causes a first portion of energy stored within the pre-stored energy source to be released, causing the displacement mechanism to force a liquid stored in the first chamber to pass through the outlet and the inlet so as to be received by the second chamber.
