PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device capable of shielding a plurality of needle gauges, and a method of actuating a needle guard.SOLUTION: A device has a housing (14) defining an interior cavity, and a transitional member (16) disposed within the interior cavity. The transitional member includes a pivoting arm (36) having a first end and a second end, the first end being adjacent to an interior portion of the housing. The transitional member also includes a needle tip sensing element (38) and a transverse barrier (40) such that the needle tip sensing element and the transverse barrier are oriented on opposing sides of the pivoting arm adjacently to the second end. The transitional member may also have a needle tip sensing element for contacting a needle in a restrained position, and a binding edge for engaging the needle in an activated position. |
