Abstract
A system for removing or transferring a pharmaceutical product from a reservoir including an ampoule with a moveable piston therein and an adaptor which includes, generally along a longitudinal axis, a reservoir connector and an ampoule connector for coupling to the ampoule, wherein the ampoule connector includes at least one locking mechanism which, in a side wall, includes a resilient element generally corresponding to a portion of the side wall which extends along the periphery thereof and, at opposing ends, merges with the side wall.
Claims17
An adaptor for facilitating the transfer of a substance from one container to another container, the adaptor comprising two connectors, one for coupling to the one container and the other for coupling to the another container, wherein one of the connectors comprises a side wall with a peripheral area and a releasable locking mechanism comprising a resilient element generally in the peripheral area, the resilient element having opposing ends which merge with the side wall, the resilient element resiliently deforming in a radial direction towards the side wall, the resilient element disposed circumferentially about the side wall.
A system for transferring a substance, the system comprising an ampoule in which a moveable piston is arranged and an adaptor which has, longitudinally arranged, a reservoir connector and an ampoule connector for coupling to the ampoule, wherein the ampoule connector comprises a side wall and at least one releasable locking mechanism in the side wall configured to secure the ampoule, the locking mechanism comprising a resilient portion of the side wall extending along a portion of the periphery thereof, the resilient portion having opposed ends merging with the side wall, the resilient element resiliently deforming in a radial direction towards the side wall, the resilient element disposed circumferentially about the side wall.
A system for removing a pharmaceutical product from a reservoir with an ampoule in which a moveable piston is arranged and an adaptor which has, longitudinally arranged, a reservoir connector and an ampoule connector for coupling to the ampoule, wherein the ampoule connector has at least one releasable locking mechanism configured to secure the ampoule, which, in a side wall, comprises a resilient element corresponding to a portion of the side wall which extends along the periphery thereof, the resilient element having opposing ends merging with the side wall, the resilient element resiliently deforming in a radial direction towards the side wall, the resilient element disposed circumferentially about the side wall.
An adaptor system for removing a pharmaceutical product from a reservoir, the adaptor comprising a length and, longitudinally arranged, a reservoir connector and an ampoule connector for coupling to an ampoule, wherein the ampoule connector has at least one releasable locking mechanism configured to secure the ampoule, which, in a side wall, comprises a resilient element which corresponds to a portion of the side wall which extends along the periphery thereof, the resilient element having opposing ends merging with the side wall, the resilient element resiliently deforming in a radial direction towards the side wall, the resilient element disposed circumferentially about the side wall.
