  • Patent number: 7249618
    Abstract: A device (1) fills a flexible pouch (100) with medicinal fluids. The pouch is mounted with its distal end (113) upward and attached to a filling infuser (110) which is supported in a supporting bore (121). A neck end of the supply container (200) which carries a resilient cap (202) is inserted into the bore such that the filling infuser pierces the cap. A flexible bladder (31) or a squeeze bulb (33) is connected with an air inlet (116) of the filling infuser to inject pressurized air into the supply container and accelerate the transfer of medicinal liquids from the supply container to the flexible pouch.

  • Patent number: 6056724
    Abstract: A casing (20) includes a casing body (30) defined by a pair of lateral wall portions (32a, 32b) which are symmetric about a longitudinal plane (P) to define an ovoid transverse cross-section. The casing includes a lower fitting (35) that is connected with a source (23) of motive liquid (22) under pressure. A deformable enclosure (38) is sealed to an upper edge flange (41) of the casing. The deformable enclosure is drawn open (FIG. 9b) against a grid or cage (44) to receive a flexible pouch (18) that contains a medical liquid (19). A length of flexible tubing (17) connected to the pouch extends through a passage (37) in a cover or stopper (46) which is received on the casing body with a fluid tight seal. Under further motive fluid pressure, the flexible pouch (18) is squeezed, forcing the medical liquid through the tubing (17, 15, 9) to a cannula or other injection device (3).
