Abstract: A system and method for automatically delivering an infusate to a patient is disclosed. The system includes an infusion set and an infusion device. A signaling component disposed on an infusion set component identifies an administration protocol for the infusion set. A detection device operatively connected to the infusion device detects the signaling component and identifies the administration protocol. The infusion device is then configured to operate according to the administration protocol.

Abstract: The present invention claims a method of producing sterile prefilled syringe bodies. The method comprises the steps of providing a syringe body. The syringe bodies are sterilized and transferred to a sterile environment. While the syringe bodies are maintained in a sterilized condition as they are transferred to the sterile environment. A fluid substance is provided and introduced into the syringe body while the syringe body is within the sterile environment. The fluid substance is also sealed within the syringe body while the syringe body is within the sterile environment.

Abstract: A syringe having a syringe body of a norbornene and ethylene copolymer, the body defining a chamber for containing water and having an opening, a plunger seal of a halobutyl-based elastomer sealing the opening; and wherein the syringe meets all requirements of the United States Pharmocopoeia for sterile water for injection.
