1. An auto-injector, comprising:
- a housing;
a vial disposed within the housing, the vial configured to store an injectable medicament, said vial defining a vial longitudinal axis;
a non-electronic force initiator configured to produce a force to inject the injectable medicament, the non-electronic force initiator configured to be actuated without input from any electronic device associated with the auto-injector, the non-electronic force initiator defining a force initiator longitudinal axis located non-co-axially with the vial longitudinal axis; and
an electronic output device coupled to said housing and configured to output an electronic indication associated with at least one of an instruction for using the auto-injector, a replacement status of the auto-injector, a delay time associated with an injection event, a status of a safety guard, a position of the auto-injector, an orientation of the auto-injector, a location of the auto-injector, a duration of the injection event, a status of the injection event, an error associated with the injection event, and a post-use instruction associated with the auto-injector.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a medicament delivery device configured to deliver a medicament into a body, the medicament delivery device including; a housing; a medicament container disposed within the housing, the medicament container configured to contain the medicament; a delivery mechanism configured to produce a force to deliver the medicament into the body; a safety lock configured to engage a portion of the delivery mechanism to prevent actuation of the delivery mechanism; and an electronic circuit system configured to be coupled to the housing, the electronic circuit system configured to output a plurality of recorded speech instructions, the electronic circuit system including a first switch and a second switch, the first switch operably coupled to the safety lock such that the safety lock actuates the first switch when the safety lock is moved, the second switch operably coupled to a portion of the delivery mechanism such that the portion of the delivery mechanism actuates the second switch when the delivery mechanism is actuated, the electronic circuit system configured to output a first recorded speech instruction from the plurality of recorded speech instructions when the first switch is actuated, the electronic circuit system configured to output a second recorded speech instruction from the plurality of recorded speech instructions when the second switch is actuated. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
