Training device for an automatic injector
First Claim
1. A training device for training a user on the operation of an auto-injector that dispenses a medicament, the training device comprising:
- a housing;
a cover member slidably received within the housing, the cover member slidable from a retracted position relative to the housing prior to operation of the training device to an extended position relative to the housing after operation of the training device;
a spring member for biasing the cover member into the extended position;
an actuation assembly operatively connected to the cover member, the actuation assembly controlling the movement of the cover member from the retracted position to the extended position in response to activation of the trainer by the user; and
a safety pin removably connected to the actuation assembly, the safety pin preventing activation of the training device and movement of the cover member from the retracted position to the extended position when the safety pin is connected to the actuation assembly.

Abstract
A resettable training device and method for training a user on the operation of an auto-injector for dispensing a medicament are provided. The user can operate the training device to simulate an auto-injector operation and then reset the training device to repeat the injector operation. The training device includes a housing, a cover member slidably received within the housing between a retracted operative position and an extended inoperative position, a spring member for biasing the cover member into the extended position, an actuation assembly that controls the movement of the cover member from the retracted position to the extended position in response to activation of the trainer by the user, a safety pin, and in some embodiments at least one releasable locking assembly to prevent movement of the cover member from the extended position to the retracted position.

24. A method of using a training device to train a user of an auto-injector to properly operate the auto-injector to dispense a dosage of medicament, the training device including a housing, a cover member slidably received within the housing between a retracted position relative to the housing and an extended position relative to the housing, an actuation assembly operatively connected to the cover member to control the movement of the cover member from the retracted position to the extended position, and a safety pin removably connected to the actuation assembly, the method comprising:
-
removing the safety pin from one end of the training device to place the training device in an operative state;
operating the training device such that the cover member moves from the retracted position to the extended position, placing the training device in an inoperative state;
replacing the safety pin; and
resetting the training device. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
