A portable drug mixing and delivery device and related methods are provided. A portable autoinjector 10 configured to store dry drug separately from liquid components comprises a housing 100 and a cap 14, and the removal of the cap allows the start of a mixing step prior to injection. Open the rotary valve. An extendable needle receiver 314 is provided above the delivery assembly 300 to prevent premature injection and inadvertent clogging of the needle or other cross-contamination. The needle guard can also form part of a secondary trigger mechanism that injects the reconstituted drug after the mixing phase is complete. [Selection] Figure 2 |
