Abstract
The invention provides for a delivery system including a delivery assembly configured to allow delivery of a single dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., vaccine, drug, medicament, etc.) from a Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) vial to a patient.
Claims22
A delivery system for delivery of a fluid agent, the delivery system comprising:
- a blow-fill-seal (BFS) vial containing a single dose of a fluid agent, the BFS vial defining (i) a cylindrical neck and (ii) two shaped radial protrusion disposed on opposite sides of the BFS vial;
- and
- a delivery assembly configured to be securely coupled to said BFS vial and to deliver said single dose of said fluid agent, said delivery assembly comprising:
- a hub member having a proximal end defining an inlet port and a distal end defining an outlet port and a channel providing a fluid pathway from said inlet port to said outlet port, said inlet port having two apertures disposed in opposite sides of the inlet port, each aperture configured to receive and retain one of the two shaped radial protrusions of the BFS vial thereto, said inlet port configured to receive the fluid agent from the BFS vial;
- and
- an administration member for administering said fluid agent into a patient, said administration member being retained by the hub member.
3 more elements
A modular injectable delivery system for injection of a fluid agent from a BFS vial into a patient, the modular injectable delivery system comprising:
- an administration member for injecting the fluid agent into the patient, the administration member comprising a needle defining a distal end and a proximate end, the distal end comprising a point for piercing the patient;
- and
- a fluid delivery hub defining a cylindrical body comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the second end retains the administration member, the fluid delivery hub defining a bore between the first and second ends, and comprising a plurality of apertures, each aperture formed within a portion of a side wall of the bore that extends axially towards, and ends proximate to the first end thereof, the bore at the first end being shaped to receive a neck of the BFS vial, wherein the BFS vial comprises a plurality of external radially projecting mating features and wherein the BFS vial contains the fluid agent, and the plurality of apertures being shaped to receive the plurality of external radially projecting mating features of the BFS vial.
