Abstract: A pet watering apparatus which can be refilled as water is removed by evaporation or by a thirsty animal, which apparatus has a vessel, overlaid by a platform having a base and at least one leg, which platform has at least 2 apertures therein of one size and a central smaller aperture therein. Disposed in one aperture is a bottle capable of holding water, having a modified Yorker cap thereon, disposed in an inverted position; the Yorker cap's spout having been cut off at about a 45 degree angle. A siphon filter may be disposed through the platform's central aperture to the vessel for connection to a pump to re-circulate water through the siphon for microbe removal. An optional water chiller may be deployed on the platform.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the storage and transfer of a lyophilisate is disclosed. An ampule prior to its sealment has an orifice at one end for the addition of the lyophilisate. The ampule has a body portion formed with flexibly deformable walls and defines a blind bore. After placement of the lyophilisate, the orifice is closed.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the storage and transfer of a lyophilisate, oncolytic, mutagenic, or other prescription is disclosed. An ampule prior to its being sealed has an orifice at one end for the addition of the lyophilisate, for example or one component of a multi-component mixture. After placement of the lyophilisate, the orifice is sealed. The ampule has a body portion formed with flexibly deformable walls and with the sealed orifice defines a blind bore. An opening of the ampule is also included and has a tapered section adapted to frictionally fit over a taper of a male luer-type fitting commonly found on syringes and needleless cannulas. The opening is protected by a frangible cap integrally formed during manufacture. By removing the cap and docking the opening with a syringe, liquid enters the ampule for mixing with the dry contents in the ampule without ambient air.

Abstract: A needleless dosage transfer system for filing medicating devices such as syringes or needleless cannulas to minimize the likelihood of an unwanted needle stick and to avoid the initial cost of a needle as well as the disposal cost of the needle. A vial has a body portion 20 formed with flexibly deformable walls and defines a blind bore. An opening of the vial includes a tapered section adapted to frictionally fit over a taper of a male luer-type fitting commonly found on syringes and needleless cannulas. By deforming the walls of the vial, fluid is forced from the vial into a syringe. The opening of the vial 10 is protected with a cap and includes a scoreline which, when fractured, defines the opening. The cap to be removed from the vial prior to its use is fabricated as one piece with the vial in order to assure sterile conditions during manufacture and filling. A tab is associated with the cap which lists the ingredients within the vial. The vial also supports an area which lists the vial's contents.

Abstract: An ampule having flexible walls with a zone which is programmed to promulgate collapse. The ampule includes an opening that is adapted to dock with a fluid receiving device such as a syringe in air tight sealing engagement. The collapse of the ampule is engineered to occur before breaking the seal that exists between the opening of the ampule and the docking syringe luer tip to ensure sterile transfer of fluid without contamination, especially from ambient air.

Abstract: External manipulation of a prefilled vial to dispense its contents by deforming the vial is disclosed.

Abstract: A Blow/Fill/Seal, or injection molded plungerless syringe having a body portion, a fluid outlet at one end and an air passageway at an opposite end, extending from a back wall leading to a chamber having the ability to receive all syringe air plus some liquid. The air passageway communicates with the air chamber to trap all gas into the air chamber after docking with syringe needle or catheter at the fluid outlet. Air from the docked devices pass through the liquid and is trapped out of the fluid passage.
