Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-chamber container without bypass, a method for its filling and its use.
  • compositions which can not be used in solution for a prolonged period can be preserved, for example by lyophilization, and may be stored in the absence of air.
  • the dry matter is not dissolved again until just before use, i. reconstituted.
  • lyophilizates are also used in pre-filled syringes with two-chamber systems, wherein lyophilisate and solvent are stored separately and combined only shortly before use.
  • Such dual-chamber prefilled syringes have already been described in "The Lyophilization of Medicaments in Pre-filled Syringes", H. Vetter, The Pharmaceutical Industry, Vol. 46, 1984, No. 10, pp. 1045-1049
  • the pre-filled syringes are usually cleaned, siliconized and provided with needle protection.
  • the siliconization for coating the primary packaging material is carried out so that the rubber stopper in the glass cylinder is easily displaced.
  • both the rubber stopper and the inside of the glass cylinder can be coated with a silicone oil.
  • the pre-filled syringes are pre-sterilized in batches and filled under sterile conditions. These are then provided with a piston plug and assembled, with the piston rods are mounted. Then it is labeled and packaged. Filling and sealing take place here from the back of the syringe, since the cannula side has too small an opening.
  • such prefilled syringes are constructed so that each of the components is housed in a separate chamber, the chambers being arranged axially one behind the other and being communicated with one another just prior to use so that the liquid component of one chamber becomes the dry component of the other Chamber can transgress.
  • the desired mixture is formed. It is known, this purpose to provide a bypass, for example in the form of an extension of the inner diameter of the glass cylinder in the syringe over which the liquid component can pass when a separating the two chambers stopper is moved so far into the bypass, that the liquid component the Can flow around plug.
  • DE 32 13 072 describes a syringe which is subdivided into two compartments for receiving a powdered medicament and its solvent, the mixing taking place by retracting the piston rod of the syringe, whereby the solvent can flow around the piston.
  • EP 1 038 543 discloses a dual-chamber syringe for medical purposes, which contains a piston rod with protruding latching elements, which are arranged diametrically in pairs and / or provide a mixing angle of 90 ° for controlled mixing and sequential administration of the mixture.
  • a disadvantage of all the systems described is their very complex structure, which is based on specially designed valves or piston rods.
  • DE 2546 495 in addition to a complex structure that connects a syringe and a container via a connector with each other the serious disadvantage that 2 vessels must be connected to each other, the actual vulnerability, the connector represents that slip or fall off during prolonged storage can. So there is a risk of contamination from the outside.
  • this structure is very bulky and therefore not easy to store and handle.
  • US Pat. No. 3,810,469 describes a multi-chamber ampoule with a needle, the separation of the chambers being effected by two membranes. With one and the same ampoule, the liquid contained can be freeze-dried, a liquid and a solid substance are mixed together and the mixture is then injected subcutaneously. Accordingly, there is an extremely complicated structure, wherein a closing of the chambers by partially piercing one of the membranes with the needle, which can be fixed there, is achieved. When mixing solid and liquid substances, a second membrane is pierced by the needle and the liquid is forced up from the lower to the upper chamber.
  • a particular disadvantage is that the needle for closing the chambers has to be adjusted and fixed very precisely, since this otherwise violates the membrane and premature mixing takes place. This makes handling much more difficult. The high cost of providing such a complicated ampule allows virtually no use on a large scale.
  • a dual chamber container for containing and combining two separate components, at least one of which is liquid, comprising a cylindrical body each having a closure at each of the two ends of the body, an upper closure to the side of the liquid component and a lower closure to the side of the solid component, and a separating plug in the cylindrical body as a seal between both chambers, wherein the separating stopper has a height H and the upper closure to the liquid component side is displaceable under pressure and on its underside a hollow needle with the length L having at least one opening disposed at the tip opposite end, where H ⁇ L.
  • the present invention thus describes a single-chamber container in which a double-chamber system without bypass is provided.
  • the liquid component changes the chamber via an opening in an internal hollow needle, which penetrates the separating stopper.
  • an internal "bypass" integrated into the separating stopper between the two chambers is produced only immediately prior to mixing in order to mix the two components, whereby a bypass, which is usually formed in double-chamber prefilled syringes or cartridges, is arranged practically integrated.
  • the closure When using the inventively designed closure having a hollow needle, the closure is moved by exerting an external force, in particular a manually applied force in the direction of the separating stopper and simultaneously exerting pressure on the liquid side, resulting in that the hollow needle in the separating stopper is pushed in or pushed therethrough until the liquid component has access to the chamber with the solid component.
  • the two components can be mixed without affecting the sterile conditions of the dual-chamber container.
  • one chamber may contain a liquid and the other chamber a solid.

  • the separating plug When the liquid is pressurized, the separating plug continues to adhere to the inner wall of the cylindrical body due to frictional forces.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un contenant à deux chambres pour recevoir et combiner deux composants séparés dont un au moins est liquide. Ce contenant comprend un corps cylindrique (15) doté d'une fermeture (20, 60) à ses deux extrémités (5, 70), à savoir une fermeture supérieure (60) du côté du composant liquide et une fermeture inférieure (20) du côté du composant solide, ainsi que d'un tampon de séparation (40) dans le corps cylindrique (15) servant d'obturation entre les deux chambres (30, 50), ledit tampon de séparation ayant une hauteur H. La fermeture supérieure (60) du côté du composant liquide se déplace sous l'action d'une pression et comporte à son extrémité inférieure une aiguille creuse (45) de longueur L dotée d'au moins une ouverture (42) disposée à l'extrémité opposée à la pointe de l'aiguille, H étant inférieur à L.
