Abstract: A pharmaceutical container includes a vial, a sealing portion, an over cap portion, and a safety seal. The vial includes a first vial portion having a first surface. The vial is configured and arranged to hold a pharmaceutical product. The sealing portion includes a first stopper portion and a second stopper portion, the second stopper portion is positioned in the first vial portion and the first stopper portion rests against the first surface. The over cap portion surrounds the sealing portion and secures the first stopper portion against the first surface. The safety seal encapsulates at least the over cap portion to prevent accidental contact with any pharmaceutical product that might be present on the over cap portion.

Abstract: A guide bearing assembly is disclosed which is capable of being thoroughly cleaned. A linear actuating embodiment includes a reciprocating shaft with first and second spools axially spaced a predetermined distance. Each spool has an associated guide bearing surface taking the form of a cylindrical bore, with the bores axially spaced a distance greater than the axial distance between spools so that when one spool is in engagement with its guide bore, the opposite spool is out of engagement with its guide bore. A rotary bearing embodiment includes a rotatable shaft having first and second spools with each spool having a plurality of angularly spaced lobes. The lobes cooperate with complementing guide bearing surfaces on a guide sleeve. The lobes of one spool are angularly spaced relative to the lobes of a second spool, so that with the lobes of the first spool in engagement with their guide surfaces, the lobes of the second spool are disengaged, and vice versa.
