摘要:
A needle shield remover device (200) for removing a needle shield (208) from a syringe (202) is disclosed. The device comprises a tubular member (210) for enclosing the needle shield coupled to the syringe, one or more cap engagement mechanisms (218a, 218b) provided at a distal end of the tubular member configured for engagement with a distal cap (see 204, figure 2C) provided for covering a distal end of the syringe, and two shield engagement mechanisms (see 230a, 230b, figures 2A & 2C) provided at a proximal end of the tubular member (210) and positioned for engagement with the needle shield (204). The two shield engagement mechanisms (see 230a, 230b, figures 2A & 2C) are positioned such that they exert force against the needle shield (208) to remove the needle shield (208) from the syringe (202). Each of the two shield engagement mechanisms (see 230a, 230b, figures 2A & 2C) is provided in a respective aperture disposed in a sidewall of the tubular member (210). Two cutout portions (234) are formed in the sidewall of the tubular member and are circumferentially disposed in an alternating manner with the two apertures about the tubular member (210). An automatic injection device, comprising a syringe (202), needle shield (208), distal cap (204) and the aforementioned needle shield remover device (200) is also disclosed. A method of assembling such an automatic injection device is further disclosed.
