Abstract
An automatic medicament delivery device and corresponding method for use with a standard needle assembly and a standard vial container that contains a medicament is disclosed. A user attaches the needle assembly and the vial container to the device. The user can transfer and measure a dose from the vial container into the device. When the user presses the tip of the device against the injection site, a needle of the needle assembly is automatically injected into the user and the measured dose is delivered into the user through the needle. When the user removes the device from the injection site, the device is re-cocked for the next injection.
