摘要：
An auto-injector for rapid delivery of a bolus of injectable medication has agenerally flat, sealed housing with small peripheral dimensions, approximatingthose of a credit card. A syringe, configured to be contained within the flathousing is pre-filled with the medication. The housing contains a mechanismthat, when triggered, automatically drives the syringe and needle forwardly toan injection position and then continues to compress the volume of the syringeto effect rapid injection. The forward injection end of the device includes anactuator that also conceals and protects the needle at all times and, preventspost-injection hazards. The flat faces of the device have graphic symbols andother visual indicia relating to the operation and condition of the device.The device enables a simple three-step operation that reduces the risk ofimproper use.
