Abstract: A pharmaceutical mixing container for storing a liquid having at least two factions which tend to separate during storage. A housing has an inner volume and is closed at one end by a septum arrangement and at another end by a slidable sealing member. A magnetizable mixing member is located within the housing and contacts the liquid faction of the pharmaceutical contained within the housing. An external magnet produces a magnetic field which extends within the inner volume and interacts with the mixing element. By manually translating the magnet along the axis of the housing, the mixing member is forcibly moved through the liquid causing turbulent waves which provide thorough admixing for the pharmaceutical constituents. By controlling the pace of movement of the magnet, thorough admixing is provided without causing mechanical damage to delicate constituents, such as crystalline factions found in NPH type insulin.

Abstract: A vial (2, 202) has first and second chambers (56, 232; 54, 234) initially separated by a rupturable barrier (20, 212). The first chamber is a variable volume chamber defined by a cylinder (18, 208), the rupturable barrier at the second end (19, 214) of the cylinder and a piston (14, 228). The second chamber is created by a telescoping container (22, 226) mounted to a second end of the cylinder. The chambers are telescopically collapsed causing fluid pressure in the second chamber to rupture the barrier so the components mix in the first chamber. The piston is driven through the cylinder from pre-mix to post-mix positions by the liquid from the second chamber. This dislodges a safety shield (30, 226) at the first end of the cylinder to expose the piston.

The vial includes a container (12) having an open end (14) covered by a convex septum (40). A barrier (37) within the container interior (52) divides the interior into first and second interior regions (54, 56) housing the pharmaceuticals. The barrier has a plug (34) sealing a hole (30) the plug having an extension (36) extending to the septum. The plug is driven from the opening by the plug extension when the septum is deflected into the container interior. The septum then naturally returns to its undeflected state to eliminate pressurization of the container interior.

Abstract: A controlled access mixing vial (2) includes a cylindrical mixing container (8) having a fixed septum (14) at its outer end (10) and a breachable seal (22) at its inner end (12). A first pharmaceutical (52) is housed within the mixing container between the seal and the septum. A supplemental container (4) is coaxially translatably mounted to the mixing container and contains a second pharmaceutical (50) between the mixing and supplemental containers. Collapsing the mixing and supplemental containers from a pre-mixed condition to a post-mixed condition, preferably with a chosen rotary movement (128, 130) using threads (60, 62), causes the breachable seal to open permitting the second pharmaceutical to be driven into the mixing container. Movement to the post-mixed condition dislodges a safety shield (100) to permit access to the septum. Rotary locks (116, 118, 120) limit movement from the pre-mixed condition except with the chosen rotary movement and prevents all movement from the post-mixed condition.
