Abstract
A medicament delivery device is present having a housing with a distal and a proximal end, the housing being adapted to receive a medicament container with a delivery member or with a connectable delivery member for delivery of a medicament. A drive mechanism acts on the medicament container to deliver the medicament. An actuator is interactively connected to the drive mechanism for holding the drive mechanism in a pre-tensioned state. A biased delivery member cover is positioned at least partially and axially movable within the housing and is interactively connected to the actuator, such that when the biased delivery member cover is pressed against a delivery site the actuator releases the drive mechanism from the pre-tensioned state. A signal delay mechanism is operably connected to said drive mechanism to generate an audible and/or tactile and/or visual signal indicating that the medicament has been completely delivered.
