Claim 8:
9. A method, comprising:
actuating, using an actuator of a downhole tool, a first implement in a first direction,
wherein actuating the first implement in the first direction also actuates a second implement of a flow control device (“FCD”) of the downhole tool, to which the first implement is connected, in the first direction, placing a flow sleeve of the FCD, to which the second implement is connected, in a first configuration;
actuating, using a biasing device of the downhole tool, the first implement in a second direction, opposite the first direction, wherein actuating the first implement in the second direction also actuates the second implement of the FCD in the second direction, placing the flow sleeve in a second configuration; and
slowing, using a dampener of the downhole tool, an actuation speed of the first implement in the first direction, the second direction, or both wherein:
the dampener is or includes a guide rod assembly including a guide rod, and an orifice or an integral pressure relief member; or
the dampener is or includes a sleeve having a slot formed therein, and a guide adapted to engage the slot.
