Injection sequence
Conceptual overview. This sequence describes the device concept for information only. It is not a substitute for approved instructions for use, and the final steps may change as development progresses.
Device preparation
The device is taken from its packaging and prepared for use. The exact preparation steps depend on the final device configuration and primary container.
Application to the skin
The device is placed on the injection site and adheres to the skin, so it stays in position without being held.
Activation
The user starts the injection with a single activation step. From this point the device runs its sequence on its own.
Automatic injection
The mechanism inserts the needle and delivers the dose subcutaneously. The user’s hands are free while this takes place.
Completion feedback
The device indicates that the injection is complete. The form of feedback — visual, audible or tactile — is part of ongoing design work.
Needle retraction
At the end of the sequence, the needle retracts back into the device.
Removal and disposal
The device is removed from the skin and disposed of according to the instructions that will accompany the final product.
