Method of dosing sterile syringes and device for use with said method

A method for dosing sterile syringes with medicinal products, comprising:

• a) arranging a group of syringes in a syringe nest and the syringe nest in turn in a device;
• b) sterilizing the syringes thus arranged, the sterilization being performed by a thermal process;
• c) loading the devices with the sterile syringes in a dispensing system in order to dose the syringes;
• d) uncovering, dosing and covering the syringes using a dosing system in the presence of a laminar flow;
• wherein the device comprises:
• a substantially prism-shaped structure in which at least an upper face is an open face which defines a perimeter area relative to the open face, the perimeter area having a vertical peripheral surface, the structure also comprising lateral surfaces with upper ends close to the open upper face and lower ends close to a base, the structure being arranged so as to allow the syringe nests to be inserted through at least said open upper face;
• and
• a cover, which, in the closed position, rests on the perimeter area of the open upper face of the device, the cover being arranged so as to cover the syringes, and
• wherein the device is configured to sterilize the nests and wherein the cover protects the inside of the syringes from suspended particulates by acting as a physical barrier.
