Patent number: 9265697Abstract: A system for transferring solutions from a first cartridge into a second cartridge comprises a cartridge holder, a plunger driver, and a cartridge connector. The cartridge connector carries a transfer needle and an exhaust needle. The cartridge holder positions the first cartridge against the cartridge connector so that the transfer needle penetrates the first cartridge septum. The second cartridge is removably inserted into another end of the cartridge connector so that both the transfer needle and the exhaust needle penetrate the second cartridge septum. The plunger driver is disposed to advance a plunger on the first cartridge to transfer solution from the first cartridge into the second cartridge thus displacing solution from the second cartridge through the exhaust needle. The cartridge connector includes a sealed interior waste chamber for receiving the solution from the second cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: ONPHARMA, INC.Inventors: Matthew J. Stepovich, Michael I. Falkel

Publication number: 20140224376Abstract: An anesthetic cartridge is adapted to receive a volume of buffer by displacing a plunger in one end of the anesthetic cartridge inwardly so that addition of the buffer volume will not displace the plunger excessively beyond the end of the cartridge body. The inwardly displaced end is protected by a plug or cover which prevents contamination and which is ejected when the buffer is added. The amount of buffer volume injected is selected to raise the pH of the anesthetic to a target value and to simultaneously achieve a target tonicity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2013Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: Onpharma, Inc.Inventors: Matthew J.
