ABSTRACT:
A medication injector assembly has dual functionality in that it can be configured as a needle syringe injector for intramuscular injections and the like or as a blunt injector for injection at a Y-site in an intravenous line and the like. A cartridge for holding a volume of injectable liquid medication has an injector fitting integral with the cartridge at one end. The injector fitting forms a blunt, elongate injection tip suitable for use as a blunt injector at the Y-site. The cartridge has a second, open end for receiving a hand-operable plunger for forcing the injectable liquid from the cartridge through the injection tip. A needle subassembly has an injection needle integrally mounted to a base. The needle subassembly has a socket to form a fluid-tight, operationally secure interconnection with the injection tip of the injector fitting, and means for locking attachment to the injector fitting.
