Abstract: A stopcock manifold system includes: a manifold provided with one or several stopcocks, each having a rotary opening/closing control apparatus with at least one finger or crank pin; a rotary mechanized actuator coupling part for each manifold, a rotary axis of the coupling part corresponding in use to a rotation axis of the control apparatus, the coupling part coupling with the stopcock by insertion of each crank pin into a closed notch in the coupling part, the closed notch of each coupling part receiving one of the crank pins of the corresponding stopcock, such that the crank pin is insertable into the corresponding coupling part by tilting the manifold and then straightening it, until it abuts on a first bearing point comprised of an edge of the closed notch; and a maintaining system that enables each coupling part to individually maintain the corresponding stopcock in place.

Abstract: A perforating needle intended to be inserted into a flask through a stopper or septum to inject and remove a fluid includes a pointed end for piercing the stopper and a cylindrical body. The central body includes a central channel through which the fluid may enter and leave the flask and a side wall having at least one lateral orifice. The orifice is in fluid communication with the central channel. A lower end of the orifice is, in use, essentially level with an inner face of the stopper. The orifice is extended toward the pointed end by at least one slot, a shape of which is essentially tangential to a flow of the fluid so as to channel the fluid along an axis of the needle. The side wall includes at least two diametrically opposite lateral orifices arranged on either side of a central island.

Abstract: A cartridge for radiopharmaceutical packaging includes a low UV-absorbing plastic barrel, closed at one end by a cap and at the other by a piston. A shoulder cooperates with the barrel in a double-level snap-on system with a cavity cooperating with an injection fitting sleeve to make a seal. At a first end the cap has a peel-off porous liner covering the cavity. Radial fins protrude inside the cavity, for screwing the injection fitting and second radial fins protrude outside of the cap to fix to a cartridge protection shield. A second end minimizes a shadow area of UV flash lamp sterilization and ensures clearance for inserting an injection spike. The second end has a reduced wall thickness pierced by the spike during set up for dispensing of the pharmaceutical. An external cylindrical zone at the second end ensures leak tightness between the cap and the barrel.

Abstract: An improved cartridge for the packaging of a pharmaceutical, and preferably a radiopharmaceutical, comprising a low UV-absorbing plastic barrel, closed at one end by a cap and at the other end by a piston.
