Abstract: A blinding cap for covering a needle shield that is covering a needle of a syringe includes an elongated body extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end, the body at least partially bounding a chamber. An annular sleeve projects from the proximal end of the body and at least partially bounds a channel. A first flange radially inwardly projects from the body into the chamber, the first flange at least partially bounding an opening that provides communication between the chamber and the channel.

Abstract: A blinding cap for covering a rigid needle shield that is covering a needle of a syringe includes an elongated body extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end, the body at least partially bounding a chamber. An annular sleeve projects from the proximal end of the body and at least partially bounds a channel. A first flange radially inwardly projects from the body into the chamber, the first flange at least partially bounding an opening that provides communication between the chamber and the channel.

Abstract: A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel that bounds a compartment extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end. A stopper is movably disposed with the compartment of the syringe barrel. A plunger rod includes a shaft having a proximal end and an opposing distal end and a plurality of teeth disposed on the shaft, the distal end of the shaft being secured to the stopper. A backstop includes a base coupled to the syringe barrel; a first wing and a second wing secured to the base so as to be at least partially disposed on opposing sides of the base; and a first arm projecting from the first wing. The first wing is movable between a first position where an engaging portion of the first arm engages with the plunger rod and a second position wherein the first arm is spaced apart from the plunger rod.

Abstract: A method for assembling a syringe includes supporting a syringe barrel having a stopper being movably disposed therein. A distal end of a plunger rod is inserted into the compartment of the syringe barrel. An initial digital image is taken of the stopper within the syringe barrel. The distal end of the plunger rod is coupled to the stopper located within the syringe barrel so that the plunger rod is secured to the stopper. A plurality of further digital images of the stopper within the syringe barrel are taken during or after coupling the distal end of the plunger rod to the stopper. Information determined from each of the further digital images is compared to information determined from the initial digital image using a computer processor to determine if the stopper in each of the further digital images has moved relative to the syringe barrel.

Abstract: A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel having a tubular body that bounds a compartment extending between a proximal end and an opposing distal end and a flange that radially outwardly projects from the proximal end of the body. A stopper is movably disposed with the compartment of the syringe barrel. A plunger rod includes a shaft having a proximal end and an opposing distal end and a plurality of teeth disposed on the shaft, the distal end of the shaft being secured to the stopper. A backstop engages the flange of the syringe barrel and at least a portion of the plurality of teeth of the plunger rod.

Abstract: A blinding cover completely surrounding the container comprises an axially movable and twistable lid that has means for gripping the sealing cap of the container and has a sampling point for a sampling needle. By axially moving and twisting the lid, the sealing cap is removed from the container, and the sampling point is positioned above the open container.

Abstract: The carrier for prefilled syringes has a body made from a dimensionally stable elastic material with a chamber for inserting the syringe. The flange of the syringe cylinder is fixed in the axial direction in a defined recess, whereas the syringe plunger is fixed in any position in an elongated recess.
