It has storage for up to a dozen doses of medication, which must be replaced once a month whether they have been used or not, and can either plug into the BattleMech through a cockpit power jack or run off an internal battery good for 48 hours.[1] Originally designed for the personal guard of Takiro Kurita the device became soon common amongst any regular army unit.[2]
