Abstract
A system including a containment assembly for enclosing a medication container may comprise a first housing portion or interface portion having a proximal end and a distal end. The interface portion may include a housing wall which defines a channel spanning from the proximal end to the distal end. The channel may be open at the proximal and distal end. The containment assembly may further comprise only two pierceable septa configured to form a barrier to the channel. The containment assembly may further comprise a variable-volume housing portion having a variable volume chamber. The variable-volume portion chamber of the variable-volume housing portion may be in fluid communication with the distal end of the channel.
Claims16
A containment system, comprising:
- a housing wall defining a channel having a proximal end and a distal end;
- and
- at least two pierceable septa sealing the channel, the at least two pierceable septa including a first pierceable septum and a second pierceable septum, wherein the at least two pierceable septa are secured in a fixed relative position with respect to one another when in an undeformed state;
- a variable-volume chamber in fluid communication with the channel, wherein the variable-volume chamber includes at least one expandable feature, the at least one expandable feature comprising a collapsible pleat, and wherein the variable-volume chamber includes a window.
