Abstract: An injector device for a pharmaceutical cartridge. The injector device includes a body defining a space for receiving a pharmaceutical cartridge. One or more retention members are disposed on the outer surface of the body. The injector device further includes a plunger rod having a connection member constructed for connection to a piston associated with a cartridge. The plunger rod has one or more receiving members. constructed to cooperatively retain the plunger rod on the body in a first position, and to release the plunger rod from the body when the plunger rod is moved to a second position. The plunger rod further includes a surface for engaging a pharmaceutical cartridge positioned within the body of said injector and for moving a pharmaceutical cartridge distally as the plunger rod is moved from its first position to its second position. A tamper evident band is secured to plunger rod and injector body.

Abstract: A port closure system for use with a fluid container having fluid ports includes administrative and additive port closure assemblies. The administrative assembly receives a piercing pin and includes an administrative housing which seals closed one fluid port. A sleeve extends from an interior surface past a base surface in the administrative housing. The sleeve has an upper portion and a lower portion, of differing diameters. A cap assembly mates with the administrative housing, sealing the interior surface of the administrative housing. A removable cap provides access to the interior surface. The additive assembly receives a needle and includes a reseal housing which seals closed another fluid port. Another cap assembly mates with the reseal housing, sealing an interior face of the reseal housing. Another removable cap provides access to the interior face. A reseal element is mechanically retained between the reseal housing and cap assembly.

Abstract: A single-use, clamshell protective cap for use primarily in healthcare settings in order to maintain the integrity of a medication solution. The cap has two halves, a cylindrical skirt, a puncture resistant lid portion, an interior flange, and an interlocking snap. When placed around a flanged injection port such as is found on a conventional fluid container and closed, the lid portion covers an access site on an injection port. After the cap is placed, the interior flange engages the port flange to prevent upward axial movement relative to the port, thereby preventing removal of the cap and thus deterring unwanted or erroneous drug administrations or withdrawals.

Abstract: A flexible non-PVC, non-DEHP container or bag for medical fluids has a container body formed of a multiple layer polyolefin film. The container has one or more ports equipped with a polyolefin fill tube and port closure assembly. The container has a low moisture vapor transmission rate.

Abstract: A single-use, snap-over cap for use primarily in healthcare settings in order to maintain the integrity of a medication solution. The cap has a tapered cylindrical skirt, a puncture resistant lid portion, and one or more latch tabs. When placed onto a flanged injection port such as is found on a conventional fluid container, the latch tabs engage and flex about the port flange. After the cap is placed, the latch tabs engage the port flange to prevent upward axial movement relative to the port, thereby preventing removal of the cap and thus deterring unwanted or erroneous drug administrations or withdrawals.

Abstract: An injector device for injecting or transferring a pharmaceutical product from a pharmaceutical cartridge. The injector device includes an injector body having a side wall having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the side wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the side wall defining a space for receiving at least a portion of a body of a pharmaceutical cartridge therein. One or more retention members are disposed on the outer surface of the body. The injector device further includes a plunger rod having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, the distal end portion of the plunger rod having a connection member constructed for connection to a connecting member mounted on a piston associated with a cartridge. The plunger rod has one or more receiving members formed about its length.

Abstract: A formed, filled, and sealed flexible container is provided with an attached port assembly. The container is formed from film folded to define opposing sidewalls which are sealed to define a chamber for sterile fluid. A hollow, tubular port member is provided with a V-shaped saddle and is sealed to the bottom of the container. The film at the bottom of the container is received in the saddle. A unique shoulder is defined by the tubular port member. The film is sealed to the shoulder and to the saddle of the port member. A hollow penetrator element is slidably disposed within the port member and is movable between a retracted position and an advanced position to puncture the film whereby fluid can flow out of the container. Internal formations are provided to guide and to limit the movement of the penetrator element. The container film may be provided with a crease along the bottom of the container.
