Devices, systems and methods for medicament delivery
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a housing;
a first medicament container disposed within the housing, the first medicament container including a first elastomeric member;
a second medicament container disposed within the housing, the second medicament container including a second elastomeric member;
an energy storage member disposed within the housing, the energy storage member configured to produce a force to move each of the first medicament container and the second medicament container within the housing from a first container position to a second container position, to move the first elastomeric member within the first medicament container when the first medicament container is in its second container position, and to move the second elastomeric member within the second medicament container when the second medicament container is in its second container position; and
a movable member coupled to the first medicament container and the second medicament container, a portion of the movable member configured to interface with a release mechanism to release the force from the first elastomeric member and the second elastomeric member after the first elastomeric member has been moved within the first medicament container and the second elastomeric member has been moved within the second medicament container.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a housing, a medicament container, an actuator, and a biasing member. The actuator is configured to move the medicament container within the housing when the actuator is moved from a first configuration to a second configuration. The actuator includes a gas container and a puncturer. When the actuator is in the first configuration, a portion of the puncturer is disposed apart from the gas container. When the actuator is in the second configuration, the portion of the puncturer is disposed within the gas container. The gas container has a longitudinal axis offset from a longitudinal axis of the medicament container. The biasing member is configured to bias the actuator toward the second configuration.
