Description

Aseptic box and dispenser device
Technical field
The present invention preferably, but is not limited to, and relates generally to the disposable cassette used together with drug delivery device, and more specifically relates to the aseptic mixing cassette for drug delivery device.
Background technology
Medicine, especially injectable medicine needs sterilely (sterile) to be stored in aseptic (aseptic) commercial packing until while using.Some medicine storages are at pre-filled single dose dispensation apparatus (dispensing device), such as pre-filled syringe, for example, from Vetter(Ravensburg, Germany) pre-filled syringe.Yet most of injectable medicine storages, in aseptic packing, and are transported to dispensation apparatus (that is, drug delivery device) before use soon.The term dispensation apparatus includes but not limited to hypodermic syringe, microneedle syringe, micropump, automatic injector, ejector filler, external dispenser, Intradermal delivery apparatus, attaches pump (patch pump), ear dispenser, oral dispenser, eye dropper, automatic injector, transfusion device, or the drug delivery device of any other type.
Severally for the aseptic packing of storing injectable medicine, can buy from market.May most of common aseptic packings for injectable product be vials.Some medicine storages, in independent parts, only mix before use.Usually, doing like this is stability in order to improve medicine or for pot-life of prolong drug.In one example, medicine is vaccine, and it is kept in a bottle dryly to extend the vaccine heat stability; And the pairing bottle is stored diluent, and it is dispensed to vaccine via syringe and entry needle before injection.In another example, medicine is vaccine, and one of them bottle is stored the antigen of manufacturing by formula, and second bottle stored adjuvant.
Yet there are some shortcomings in prior art: (a) for the many injectable drugs such as vaccine, these are packaged in many time is expensive and unpractiaca economically; (b) wherein, need to be mixed each component of medicine, and this processing is complicated and is easy to make a mistake; And (c) by medicine or its component from a container transport to another container or to be transported to dispensation apparatus be the completing on the spot of non-sterile property, and contaminated risk is easily arranged.
United States Patent (USP) the 7th, disclose a kind of of some business for mixing injectable medicament and patent external member for 879, No. 018.Here, again, the restriction of disclosure be to the dependence of bottle with to such glass, be cost and the complexity that primary tank is relevant.
Some commercial products and patent disclose the flexible package of being made by thin film or paper tinsel, and wherein product can the aseptic mode be stored until while using.Some in these products and patent further disclose the port that makes up a prescription communicated with the product made up a prescription in packing.In some cases, before using, between described port and product, exist destructible obstruct to strengthen the integrity of packing.In some cases, these flexible packages comprise at least two product compartment, and it can merge before use, to allow material from different compartments to mix and to form assignable product.Sometimes these packings are called sack (pouche) or pouch (sachet).A shortcoming of bag type package is that it is quite challenging the whole content of packing being extruded to (express).This is the dimension scale due to these packings, and wherein length and width significantly are greater than the vertical protuberance (perpendicular protrusion) on its plane usually.This ratio is the inherent limitations that forms the mode of sack/pouch.Sack and pouch are formed by one or more thin film or paper tinsel (being referred to as " thin slice (web) "), and these one or more thin film or paper tinsel at its edge seal together, form one or more containers.This sack is during container forms or be filled afterwards, then sealed to keep product to be wired up by aseptic.
When directly being operated with hands, a restriction of the packing that these are relatively shallow is that, when making up a prescription, operator's thumb makes the wall contact that two of packing are relative, the termination of making up a prescription at the contact point place very rapidly.In order from packing, to extrude extra product, usually must carry out complicated peristaltic action or folding to packing.In some configurations, with pressing plate, press flexible package, so that content is discharged.In these are arranged, operated clamp with press product compartment therefore to make the pressure that generation is larger than small area of contact be favourable.Therefore, the compartment area coverage less of generating content thing and sealing area and the ratio between surperficial Package size is less perpendicular to this flexibility packing of making up a prescription is favourable.
In some applications, the medicine that can send needed at least two kinds of materials are thoroughly mixed before injection.In one example, need simple method in the high heldwater (W/O) of using while putting in being formulated in oil.At present, Emulsion is that reciprocally oil and the water of hybrid separation are manually prepared by the threeway stopcock via connecting two syringes or narrow pipe.The method is a bit consuming time and be often unsettled.Developed the adapter that there is perforated membrane in syringe inside, so that more effective Emulsion to be provided, but the cost that will pay be need to be stronger thrust, especially when in order to shorten the preparation time, reducing aperture.In addition, the assembly and disassembly step that number increases has increased operation mistake and has polluted the risk that can send medicament.
