Abstract
Described is a medicament container carrier adapted to hold a first medicament container having a first predetermined size and capable of containing more than a first volume of a medicament. The container carrier comprises a body, and an adapter coupled to the body. The adapter is adapted to hold a second medicament container having a second predetermined size different from the first predetermined size and capable of containing no more than the first volume of the medicament.

(canceled)
A method of assembling an auto-injector, the method comprising:
- inserting a proximal flange of a syringe into a translucent syringe holder of the auto-injector to limit proximal and distal movement of the syringe relative to the translucent syringe holder by at least partially surrounding diametrically opposite sides of the proximal flange of the syringe with a proximal portion of the translucent syringe holder such that
- (i) one or more first abutment surfaces defined by the proximal portion of the translucent syringe holder engage diametrically opposite sides of the proximal flange of the syringe to limit proximal movement of the syringe relative to the translucent syringe holder,
- (ii) a distal side of the proximal flange of the syringe is proximally spaced from the translucent syringe holder while distal movement of the syringe relative to the translucent syringe holder is limited, and
- (iii) a distal portion of the translucent syringe holder at least partially surrounds a barrel of the syringe;
- and
- distally inserting the translucent syringe holder into a syringe carrier of the auto-injector such that a second abutment surface of the translucent syringe holder on an outer surface of the translucent syringe holder slidably engages an inner surface of the syringe carrier,
- wherein after the proximal flange of the syringe is disposed within the syringe carrier, the auto-injector is configured to dispense a medicament through a distal needle of the syringe when a stopper of the syringe moves distally within the barrel of the syringe and relative to the translucent syringe holder and the syringe carrier.

- and
- distally inserting the translucent syringe holder and the syringe into a syringe carrier of the auto-injector such that a second abutment surface on an outer surface of the translucent syringe holder slidably engages an inner surface of the syringe carrier.
