Claims20
A syringe device comprising:
- a syringe including a therapeutic dose of at least one drug, a needle and a stopper;
- and
- an encasement configured to house the syringe, wherein the encasement includes a proximal end, a distal end, and an encasement window configured to allow a user to view the therapeutic dose of the at least one drug,
- wherein the encasement includes a needle guard that includes at least one window that aligns with the encasement window when the needle guard is not deployed and wherein the needle guard is manually deployed by moving the needle guard away from the proximal end of the encasement to cover the needle.
A method for administering a therapeutic dose of at least one drug, the method comprising:
- advancing a stopper through a syringe including the therapeutic dose of the at least one drug thereby extruding the at least one drug through a needle associated with the syringe;
- and
- deploying a needle guard over the needle after the advancing is complete,
- wherein the stopper is only advanced a predetermined distance by a plunger assembly including a plunger rod, an actuator, and a spacer,
- wherein the deploying is by moving the needle guard away from a proximal end of an encasement housing the syringe to cover the needle.
