Abstract

A device for drug delivery includes a casing for housing a drug storage container including a dose delivery member. At least a portion of the dose delivery member extends through an opening in the casing. A guard is movable relative to the casing between an extended position and a retracted position. An interference arrangement provides a selected threshold of resistance to movement of the guard from the extended position to the retracted position during insertion of the dose delivery member into body tissue at an injection site. The interference arrangement has a first member and a second member engaging one another to retain the guard in the extended position. One of the first member and the second member moving if the selected threshold of resistance is exceeded to allow the first member and second member to slide past one another to allow the guard to move into the retracted position.
