Patent number: 11964142Abstract: A syringe assembly includes a syringe and a tamper evident cap disposed over a Luer connection of the syringe, the tamper evident cap having a main body that defines a proximal end defining an opening, a distal end opposite the proximal end along the axial direction, an outer surface, and an inner surface opposite the outer surface that defines a passage to receive a tip cap and the Luer connection, where the tamper evident cap is spaced from the tip cap. The main body further defines a frangible connection between the proximal and distal ends of the main body. The frangible connection can break under a force applied to the distal end of the tamper evident cap such that the proximal end of the tamper evident cap remains engaged with the syringe when the frangible connection breaks.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Fresenius Kabi USA, LLCInventors: Christopher J. Murray, Anthony Ferraro, Gang Ju, Robert Speek

Patent number: 11400206Abstract: A syringe packaging system that includes a tube and a cap for enclosing a pre-filled syringe is disclosed. The tube includes a proximal end, a closed distal end, and a sidewall extending between the proximal and closed distal ends. The sidewall includes an injection molding gate. In one embodiment, a film is securable to a portion of the tube and a portion of the cap to connect the tube and the cap with the pre-filled syringe enclosed within the cap and the tube.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbHInventors: Brigitte Duinat, Charles D. Shermer, Luc Dorelon, Tracy Hottovy, James Kenneth Proctor, Robert Speek, Jonathan Wacks

Patent number: 11305072Abstract: The present disclosure describes a syringe assembly including a syringe including a Luer connection and a tip, a plunger, a tip cap, a tamper evident cap disposed over the tip cap, and a film including a frangible connection. The film secures the tamper evident cap to the Luer connection, where the frangible connection can break under a force applied to the tamper evident cap such that the tamper evident cap disengages from the Luer connection when the frangible connection breaks.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: FRESENIUS KABI USA, LLCInventors: Christopher J. Murray, Anthony Ferraro, Gang Ju, Robert Speek

Publication number: 20210236736Abstract: The present disclosure describes a syringe assembly including a syringe including a Luer connection and a tip, a plunger, a tip cap, a tamper evident cap disposed over the tip cap, a film including a frangible connection, and an RFID tag. The film secures the tamper evident cap to the Luer connection, where the frangible connection can break under a force applied to the tamper evident cap such that the tamper evident cap disengages from the Luer connection when the frangible connection breaks. The RFID tag is disposed on the syringe and has an integrated circuit and an antenna configured to send/receive signals between an RFID reader.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventors: Christopher J. MURRAY, Anthony FERRARO, Gang JU, Robert SPEEK

Publication number: 20210170093Abstract: A syringe packaging system that includes a tube and a cap for enclosing a pre-filled syringe is disclosed. The tube includes a tube cut flange and the cap includes a cut skirt. With a syringe barrel contained within the tube, a syringe barrel cut flange is aligned with the tube cut flange. With the pre-filled syringe enclosed within the tube and the cap, the cut skirt of the cap surrounds the syringe barrel cut flange. In one embodiment, a film is securable to a portion of the tube and a portion of the cap to connect the tube and the cap with the pre-filled syringe enclosed within the cap and the tube.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2020Publication date: June 10, 2021Applicant: Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbHInventors: Brigitte DUINAT, Charles D.

Patent number: 10814059Abstract: A syringe packaging system that includes a tube and a cap for enclosing a pre-filled syringe, wherein the tube includes a cut flange and the cap includes a cut skirt. When the pre-filled syringe is enclosed within the tube and cap, the tube and cap are maintained together by a plurality of crush ribs on the cap or by a film secured to a portion of the tube and a portion of the cap. An injection molding gate is located on the sidewall of the tube to prevent diversion or tampering with the pre-filled syringe.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Fresenius Kabi Deutschland GmbHInventors: Brigitte Duinat, Charles D.
