  • Patent number: 8633016
    Abstract: A microbial detection assembly is disclosed which includes a tubular body, a pierceable septum, and a plunger. The tubular body defines a longitudinal axis and has a first end and a second end. The pierceable septum is configured to seal the first end of the tubular body. The plunger head is configured to substantially close the second end of the tubular body. Together, the plunger head, the pierceable septum, and the tubular body define a reservoir dimensioned to receive a medium and a sample substance. Additionally, the plunger head is positioned and is movable within the tubular body in response to changes in pressure within the reservoir.

  • Patent number: 8522975
    Abstract: A package assembly includes a plurality of syringe assemblies. Each syringe assembly has a syringe flange defining an opening. The syringe flange of each of the syringe assemblies is coupled to a plurality of adjacent syringe flanges to define a panel. Each of the syringe flanges includes a plurality of lateral edges. The plurality of lateral edges of each syringe flange is coupled to the lateral edge of adjacent syringe flanges in a breakaway configuration to facilitate separation of each of the plurality of syringe assemblies from the panel.

  • Publication number: 20120078214
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vial transfer needle assembly that includes a housing and a vial access member. The housing includes a proximal skirt and a distal skirt that is connected by a central hub portion. The central hub portion defines a central bore that extends between the proximal skirt and the distal skirt. The central bore of the housing includes an annular bead, a side wall, and a shoulder. The vial access member is disposed within the central bore of the housing such that the top surface of the flange is positioned underneath the annular bead of the central bore to thereby secure the vial access member within the housing.

  • Publication number: 20120061274
    Abstract: Hardpack devices including a cartridge and a cap are useful for protecting sterile medical instruments. The cartridge includes a body having an open end and a closed end, and defines an internal cavity. The cap is adapted for placement over the open end of the body for enclosing the internal cavity of the cartridge. A laser heat seal mark is scored at the interface between the cartridge and the cap to seal the device.
