A cassette for a medicament delivery device having a base unit, the cassette comprising:
- a longitudinal axis defining a proximal direction and a distal direction;
- a body for accommodating a medicament container;
- a medicament delivery member;
- and
- a cap connected to the body by means of a connection, the cap enclosing a proximal end of the body;
- wherein the connection is arranged to be disconnected by means of a distal force acting in the distal direction on the body relative to the cap when the cassette is attached to the base unit.
A medicament delivery device comprising:
- a reusable a base unit;
- and
- a cassette comprising:
- a longitudinal axis defining a proximal direction and a distal direction;
- a body configured to hold a pre-filled medicament container;
- a medicament delivery member in fluid communication with a proximal end of the medicament container;
- and
- a cap removably connected to the body through a snap fit connector such that the cap encloses a proximal end of the body,
- wherein when a distally directed force is applied to the body during attachment of the cassette to the base unit, the snap fit connector will release the cap from the body in the proximal direction.
