Abstract
An apparatus and method for sterile filling comprises de-contaminating a needle penetrable surface of a device including a needle penetrable septum and a sealed chamber in fluid communication with the needle penetrable septum. A filling needle penetrates the needle penetrable septum, introduces substance through the filling needle and into the chamber and is, in turn, withdrawn from the septum. A liquid sealant is applied to the penetrated region of the septum. Radiation or energy is applied to the liquid sealant to cure the liquid sealant from a liquid phase to a solid phase.
Claims17
A method comprising the following steps:
- (i) de-contaminating at least a penetrable surface of a device including a needle penetrable portion or septum penetrable by a filling or injection member and a sealed chamber in fluid communication with the penetrable septum;
- (ii) moving at least one of a filling or injection member and the device relative to the other to penetrate the penetrable septum with the filling or injection member, introducing substance through the filling or injection member and into the chamber, and withdrawing the filling or injection member from the septum;
- (iii) applying a liquid sealant onto the penetrated region of the septum;
- and
- (iv) applying radiation or energy to the liquid sealant to cure the liquid sealant from a liquid phase to a solid phase and hermetically seal the penetrated region of the septum.
