Claim 12:
13. The system of claim 12, wherein when the system is coupled to the syringe in a dose loaded configuration,
the plunger rod of the syringe is slidably received within the lumen of the syringe delivery ring with the distal end of the syringe delivery ring in abutment with a barrel flange of the syringe, and
the proximal segment of the syringe delivery ring is received within the coupling archway of the syringe loading guide with the distal-facing surface of the syringe loading guide in abutment with a proximal-facing bearing surface of the distal segment of the syringe delivery ring,
such that the distance between the proximal-facing surface of the syringe loading guide and the proximal end of the syringe delivery ring, which is the distance between a plunger flange of the syringe and the proximal end of the syringe delivery ring, corresponds to a distance a plunger seal of the syringe will travel within a barrel of the syringe to deliver the small volume dose of medication.
