Abstract
A storage device () for storing a pen needle assembly () includes a housing () having first wells () with a dimension for receiving the pen needle assembly and second wells () for receiving an inner shield () of the pen needle assembly. The second wells () have a diameter less than a diameter of the first wells (). An ejector () in the housing () can be actuated to eject the used needle hub () and outer covers () from the first well () and the inner shield () from the second well () for disposal. A method of coupling a pen needle delivery device to a needle hub positions a needle hub assembly () in the first well () and inserts the coupling end of the delivery device () into the first well () and is coupled to the needle hub. The needle hub is pulled from the outer cover (). The inner shield () is inserted into the second well () to remove the inner shield from the needle hub.
