Abstract:
Described is a syringe carrier comprising a body adapted to receive a barrel of a syringe. The body includes two sections having distal ends with shoulder sections. The shoulder sections are adapted to engage a circumferential gap between the barrel of the syringe and a needle shield covering a needle of the syringe.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for assembling a syringe having a barrel and a needle shield covering a needle of the syringe into a syringe carrier comprising a body with two sections, the sections having distal ends with shoulder sections, and the shoulder sections adapted to engage a circumferential gap between the barrel of the syringe and a needle shield covering a needle of the syringe, wherein the shoulder sections are coupled a side hinge and are movable between an open and a closed position about a pivot axis of the side hinge that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body, the method comprising:\n opening the sections about the hinge and placing the syringe in the syringe carrier; and closing the sections such that proximal shoulder sections form circular shoulders adapted to proximally abut a finger flange on the syringe, wherein closing the sections furthermore causes the pin to engage the hole and distal shoulder sections to distally engage the circumferential gap to prevent the syringe from moving in the distal direction relative to the syringe carrier.
