Abstract

The present invention relates to a delay mechanism for a hydraulic medicament delivery device. In particular, the present invention relates to a medicament delivery device that can include a medicament chamber configured to contain a medicament; a plunger configured to move relative to the medicament chamber to expel the medicament from the medicament chamber; a latch configured to move from a first latch position, wherein the latch prevents movement of the plunger to a second latch position, wherein the latch allows movement of the plunger; an actuation assembly configured to move the latch from the first latch position to the second latch position; and a needle coupled to the medicament chamber. The medicament flows from the medicament chamber through the needle to a user. The actuation assembly can be configured to automatically move the latch after a predetermined time delay.
