1. A system comprising:
an injection device for a pre-filled container having a medication and a readable information portion containing information, the injection device comprising a body adapted to be manipulated by a user's hand, an engagement assembly adapted to be removably engageable to the pre-filled container, a scan assembly adapted to scan the readable information portion with the pre-filled container contained within the injection device, a transmitter for transmitting the information, an actuator assembly associated with a plunger rod of the injection device, and an indicator portion; and
an electronic database that receives the information transmitted from the injection device, the electronic database adapted to verify the information and transmit a signal to the injection device providing positive feedback for injection so that the actuator assembly automatically actuates the plunger rod, wherein the injection device is not able to inject the medication contained within the container until the positive feedback is received from the electronic database, and wherein if an abnormal condition is detected, the indicator portion on the injection device will alert the user and an interlock prevents the injection device from proceeding with the injection.
