Embodiment Construction

[0046] When relative expressions such as "downward" and "upward" are used hereinafter, they refer to the attached drawings and not necessarily to actual usage conditions. The shown figures are schematic representations, thus the arrangement of the different structures and their relative dimensions are intended for illustrative purposes.

[0047] figure 1 is a perspective view of a medical device 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The medical device 1 comprises a housing structure in the form of a vial holder 2 and a locking ring 6 accommodating a vial 20 holding a drug substance (not visible), which may eg be a powder or a fluid. The vial 20 can be inspected through the window 80 . A removable cover 3 adjoins said locking ring 6 along a circumferential interface interrupted only by a gap in said cover 3 allowing the passage of a tab 30 from the inner part of said medical device 1 to the outside. The pull tab 30 has a grip ring 31 suitable for b...

Abstract

A medical device (1) comprises a frame (2, 3, 6) defining an interior, a barrier element (58) arranged to fluidly divide at least a portion of the interior, and barrier removal means (30) connected with the barrier element and operable from an exterior of the frame to remove the barrier element from the interior through an opening (99) in the frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to medical devices and more particularly to such devices incorporating barrier means for internal region fluid division. Background technique [0002] In conjunction with drug delivery to subjects (especially drug products that are delivered directly into the bloodstream), it may be critical to ensure that the sterility of the drug product is maintained until it reaches its intended target. [0003] Liquid medicines are typically stored in sealed sterile containers and either administered therefrom or withdrawn therefrom for delivery via an intermediate container. In either case, a needle element is often used to penetrate the sealed septum of the container to allow the drug to be delivered out of the container. It is recommended that the outer surface of the septum be cleaned (eg, with an alcohol swab) prior to needle penetration to avoid deposition of impurities on the needle. Wiping is considered by many to ...
