Abstract
A automatic injection device including a housing, a firing mechanism, a near-field communication (NFC) assembly, a syringe, and a plunger. The firing mechanism is disposed within the second end of the housing and includes an activation button moveable relative to the firing body between an initial position and an actuated position. The activation button is configured to deploy the plunger when actuated. The firing mechanism includes a piercing element extending from at least the firing body or the activation button. The NFC assembly includes a film disposed proximate the piercing element and configured to be pierced by the piercing element upon actuation of the activation button. The NFC circuit is configured to indicate a film status including at least an unpierced film status before the film is pierced and a pierced film status after the film is pierced. A method of using the automatic injection device is also disclosed.
