Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the syringe assembly is provided in the transport configuration, the method further comprising:
positioning the syringe assembly in the transport configuration in an upright orientation before moving the swing spacer from the aligned configuration to the askew configuration; and
applying a distally directed force to the proximal end of the plunger member to expel a gas from the syringe interior through the distal needle interface to transform the syringe assembly from the transport configuration to the primed configuration before moving the swing spacer from the aligned configuration to the askew configuration,
wherein moving the swing spacer from the aligned configuration to the askew configuration transforms the syringe assembly from the primed configuration to the injection configuration, and
wherein applying the distally directed force to the proximal end of the plunger member to expel the portion of the injectable fluid from the syringe interior through the distal needle interface transforms the syringe assembly from the injection configuration to the completed configuration.
