Hinged blinding shell for hanging a vial and related methods

A vial blinding kit comprising:

• a first vial blinding assembly comprising:
• a first vial comprising a first vial configuration;
• a first blinding shell having an interior surface that bounds a first cavity and an exterior surface, the first cavity of the first blinding shell configured to have a complementary size with the first vial configuration of the first vial;
• a second vial blinding assembly comprising:
• a second vial comprising a second vial configuration that is different than the first vial configuration of the first vial;
• and
• a second blinding shell having an interior surface that bounds a second cavity and an exterior surface having the same configuration as the exterior surface of the first blinding shell, the second cavity of the second blinding shell configured complementary size with the second vial configuration of the second vial.

A vial blinding kit comprising:

• a first vial blinding assembly comprising:
• a first blinding shell having an interior surface that bounds a first cavity and an exterior surface, an access opening passing through the first blinding shell so as to communicate with the first cavity;
• and
• a first vial having a chamber with a liquid trial product disposed therein, the chamber being sealed closed by a stopper having a needle penetrable septum, the first vial being disposed within the first cavity of the first blinding shell so that the septum of the first vial is aligned with the access opening of the first blinding shell;
• a second vial blinding assembly comprising:
• a second blinding shell having an interior surface that bounds a second cavity and an exterior surface, an access opening passing through the second blinding shell so as to communicate with the second cavity;
• and
• a second vial having a chamber with a liquid trial product disposed therein, the chamber being sealed closed by a stopper having a needle penetrable septum, the second vial being disposed within the second cavity of the second blinding shell so that the septum of the second vial is aligned with the access opening of the second blinding shell,
• wherein the first cavity of the first blinding shell has a different configuration than the second cavity of the second blinding shell but the exterior surface of the first blinding shell has the same configuration as the exterior surface of the second blinding shell.
