A device comprising:
- (a) a first compartment and a second compartment, each of the first compartment and the second compartment defining a first cavity and a second cavity, respectively, separated by and in fluid communication with a first opening covered by a first movable seal;
- (b) a needle assembly;
- (c) an insertion rod positioned in the first compartment operably connected to a movable element;
- and
- (d) a third compartment comprising the needle assembly and defining a third cavity adjacent to and separated from the second compartment by a second opening covered by a second movable seal of a movable plug, whereupon depression of the movable element allows for displacement of the insertion rod and the movable plug, wherein displacement of the movable plug provides fluid communication between the second compartment and the third compartment,
- wherein the needle assembly comprises (i) a spring compressible upon filling of the third compartment and (ii) a needle comprising a first fluid opening within the third cavity and an oppositely facing second fluid opening positioned away from the first cavity and the second cavity.
