The whisperject continues to malfunction.This is my fourth device and all have the same problem.After loading the syringe, the mechanism does not work consistently.Basically, the patient cocks the device by pushing one end of the device into the other until a clicking sound is heard.The patient then pushes the orange button to get the syringe moving into the injection site.It works sometimes but not always.When it does not work, the syringe does not move and i need to try to remove the syringe without it's flying across the room to inject myself.I have multiple sclerosis and use of both hands to administer a shot is near impossible, so that is why i need to use this device.I have had numerous conversations with (b)(4) and (b)(4), asking me whether i have done certain things correctly.Believe me, i have! the device works perhaps 1/3 of the time, which is unacceptable to a patient.I had been a user of copaxone for a number of years before being switched by my insurance company to glatiramer acetate and never had a problem with their injection device, not once in probably 5 years.Whisperject is an inferior product and should be removed from production.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
