A needle magazine (10, 110) for storing a plurality of pen needle assemblies in combination with a plurality of pen needle units is disclosed. The magazines each comprise a first part (11, 111) and a second part (12, 112), each holding a number of pen needle assemblies. The first part (11, 111) and the second part (12, 112) are hinged together by a hinge mechanism (13, 113) such that the pen needle magazine (10, 110) can be folded to be easily carried by a user. The needle magazine (10, 110) also comprises an irreversible locking mechanism (30, 31, 130) such that the needle magazine (10, 110) can be used as a waste bin when discarding the used pen needle assemblies. |

1. A needle magazine (10) for storing a plurality of pen needle assemblies and for selectively dispensing the individual pen needle assemblies there from, the needle magazine (10, 110) comprising:
a first part (11, 111) and a second part (12, 112), wherein the first part (11, 111) and the second part (12, 112) are adapted to store a number of pen needle assemblies in a number of compartments (14, 114) provided in both the first part (11, 111) and in the second part (12, 112), each compartment structured to provide a sterile pen needle assembly in each compartment (14, 114) which is individually sealed by a removable sheet (25, 101), and wherein the first part (11, 111) has a first top surface (15) provided with at least one opening (20) and the second part (12, 112) has a second top surface (16) also provided with at least one opening (20) through which openings (20) the pen needle assemblies can be dispensed, and wherein the first part (11, 111) and second part (12, 112) are hinged together by a hinge (13, 113) allowing the first part (11, 111) and the second part (12, 112) to be moved between;
(i) a folded position in which the first top surface (15) abuts the second top surface (16), such that access to the openings (20, 120) is prevented, and(ii) an unfolded position in which each opening (20, 120) can be accessed, and wherein the first part (11, 111) and the second part (12, 112) comprises a locking mechanism (30, 31, 130) that irreversibly locks the first part (11, 111) and the second part (12, 112) together in the folded position to prevent access to any of the openings (20, 120) of the compartments (14, 114). |
