Abstract
An injection device kit for the self-administration of an injection of solution that includes a body portion configured for engagement with a cartridge containing the solution and an injection needle where the body portion includes an injection component having an actuation mechanism for inserting the injection needle of the cartridge and for injecting the solution in the cartridge and a safety mechanism on the body portion and configured to prevent injection unless released.
Claims17
A method of self-administering an injection of solution, the method comprising:
- positioning an injection patch on a particular body part, the injection patch being configured to indicate a location of each of a plurality of injection sites, wherein the injection patch is shaped for the body part and includes a plurality of location indicators, each of the plurality of location indicators correlating with one of the plurality of injection sites on the body part, wherein the injection patch includes an adhesive on a contact surface thereof for adhering the injection patch to the body part, and wherein positioning the injection patch includes aligning each of the plurality of location indicators with the correlating injection site on the body part such that the injection patch provides a guide for placing injections at the plurality of injection sites on the particular body part;
- adhering the injection patch to the contact surface;
- engaging a first cartridge with an injection device to select the first cartridge from one of a plurality of cartridges in a tray, the first cartridge containing the solution;
- aligning the injection device and the first cartridge with a first location indicator of the plurality of location indicators on the injection patch;
- pressing the injection device against the body part, thereby releasing a safety mechanism;
- depressing a trigger on the injection device and thereby inserting a needle of the first cartridge through the injection patch at the first location indicator and injecting the solution;
- engaging a second cartridge with the injection device to select the second cartridge from one of the plurality of cartridges in the tray, the second cartridge containing the solution;
- aligning the injection device and the second cartridge with a a second location indicator of the plurality of location indicators on the injection patch;
- pressing the injection device against the body thereby releasing the safety mechanism;
- and
- depressing the trigger on the injection device and thereby inserting a needle of the second cartridge through the injection patch at the second location indicator and injecting the solution.
