Benefits of technology

This patent is for a container that can be easily inserted into a port housing and locked in place. The container has tabs that make it easy to secure the container and prevent it from being removed once it is in place. The container also has a visual indicator that shows when it is in a locked position. This helps to ensure the container is always secure and in the correct position.

Problems solved by technology

Each procedure potentially jeopardizes the sterility of the vial, the stopper or the medicament.
While such reconstitution systems according to the prior art provide a number of advantageous features, they nevertheless have certain limitations.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail preferred embodiments of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to the embodiments illustrated.

[0031]Referring now to the Figures, and specifically to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a two-part admixing or reconstitution system 410 comprised of a first container 412 and a second container 414. In one embodiment, the first container 412 is a medicament or drug container 412 and is preferably in the form of a vial with an exterior housing, and the second container 414 is a diluent container and is preferably in the form of a flexible bag. In a one embodiment the diluent container 414 is a flexible container formed from first and second opposing sheets of flexible material th...

Abstract

A port assembly for connecting a first container to a second container and mixing the contents of the first container with the contents of the second container. The port assembly has a port housing that is configured to receive a first container. The port assembly further includes an actuator axially fixed within a cavity of the port housing. The actuator is configured to open the first container by forcing a stopper sealing an opening of the first container into a cavity of the first container during activation.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates generally to a system and method for mixing the contents of two containers, and more particularly to a system for mixing or reconstituting a medicament contained in a first container with a diluent contained in a second container.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Medicaments or drugs administered in a health care environment are typically packaged in vials whose interior is maintained in a sterile condition. The vials themselves are sealed by a sterile stopper which is typically pierced by a cannula when it is desired to remove the medicament or drug. Several procedures are required to get the drug from the vial into the body of a patient. Each procedure potentially jeopardizes the sterility of the vial, the stopper or the medicament. Further, if the medicament in a particular vial is a powder or is concentrated, there is often a need to add diluent to the vial to dissolve the powder or to dilute the concentrated medicament solution to the d...
