Abstract
A device for mixing a substance comprised of two constituents contained in a cartridge and having a cartridge holder thereabout, the device comprising a plunger rod for pushing the closure member to permit the transfer of a diluent in a first chamber through a by-pass channel to mix with a constituent in a first chamber, the plunger rod being driven by means of a rack and a pinion gear arrangement to prevent overly rapid movement of the plunger rod.
Description
- The present invention relates to a by-pass cartridge and in particular to a device and method for storing, mixing and delivering pharmaceuticals.
- In pharmaceutical delivery systems, it is sometimes necessary to mix a drug in powder form with a diluent in order to be able to deliver the drug to a subject. This can be done manually by injecting the diluent into a vial containing the powdered drug, mixing the drug into the diluent and aspirating the drug in fluid form into a syringe for subsequent injection into the subject. Such manual procedures are generally considered to be cumbersome and inconvenient and often lead to wastage of some of the drug as it may remain in the vial.
- Also known in the art are dual chambered syringes which use a by-pass channel to provide fluid communication between the two chambers. The two chambers are commonly defined within a syringe barrel by two separate pistons and an end stopper spaced apart within the syringe barrel. In such an arrangement, the two chambers are placed in fluid communication by the by-pass channel by actuation of the outer most piston within the syringe barrel. This causes both pistons within the syringe barrel to advance to a point where the inner most piston becomes aligned with the by-pass channel. At that point, further actuation of the outer most piston causes fluid contained in the chamber between the two pistons to flow into the outwardly extending by-pass channel and around the inner most piston which remains stationary.
- With the two chamber syringe barrel and external by-pass arrangement described above, a danger exists in the possibility that the inner most piston is pushed too far along such that it goes past the by-pass channel before full transfer of the diluent occurs. This may be caused by an overly vigorous application of the plunger to the outer most piston. Once the inner most piston is pushed past the by-pass channel without having allowed proper fluid flow from the first chamber to the second chamber, it can be extremely difficult to correct.
- With some pharmaceutical constituents, in order to properly constitute the pharmaceutical substance, it is desirable to ensure that the mixing of the two constituents occurs slowly and evenly.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and a device which allows the mixing of two constituents of a pharmaceutical substance and which overcomes the above drawbacks in prior art devices.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for mixing a substance comprised of two constituents, the device comprising a cartridge, a cartridge holder, a tubular container having a fluid communication end and an actuation end, the fluid communication end being receivable in the cartridge holder, the tubular container having a first closure member disposed at the fluid communication end, a second closure member disposed at the actuation end, a piston within the container intermediate the first and second closure members, and a by-pass channel for enabling fluid to by-pass the piston when the piston is in the by-pass position, a plunger rod engageable with the second closure member for moving the second closure member within the container, the plunger rod having a rack gear formed thereon, a housing, a pinon gear mounted within the housing, the pinon gear being engageable with the rack gear, and a handle connected to the pinion gear.
- The transfer device of the present invention may be utilized with any suitable by-pass type cartridge or container. Many such by-pass cartridges or containers are known in the art. Conventionally, the second closure member is screw threadedly connectable to the plunger rod.
- Utilizing the transfer device of the present invention significantly reduces the possibility of the piston moving past the by-pass channel prior to transfer of the diluent to the chamber containing the active ingredient. In other words, it becomes difficult to rapidly move the second closure at the actuation end.
- Having thus generally described the invention, reference will be made to the drawings illustrating an embodiment thereof, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a partially exploded perspective view of a device according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the device; -
FIGS. 3A , 3B and 3C are side sectional view illustrating operation of the device; -
FIG. 4 illustrates the detachment of the cartridge holder from the housing; and -
FIG. 5 illustrates a pen injector utilizing the cartridge of the present invention. - Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated an assembly generally designated by
reference numeral 10 and whichassembly 10 includes acartridge 12. Cartridge 12 is of a substantially conventional structure and includes anactivation end 16 and afluid communication end 14. Afirst closure member 18 seals fluid communication end 14 while a second closure member 20 seals activation end 16. - Situated interiorly of the
cartridge 12 andintermediate closure members plunger 22 which divides the cartridge into afirst chamber 26 and asecond chamber 28. As is known in the art, a by-pass 24 provides fluid communication betweenfirst chamber 26 andsecond chamber 28. Normally,first chamber 26 will carry the dry pharmaceutical component to be reconstituted whilesecond chamber 28 normally will carry a liquid diluent. Naturally, other arrangements such as two liquids can be utilized. - At it upper end (fluid communication end)
cartridge 12 has ashoulder 30. - Cartridge holder 32
surrounds cartridge 12 and hasscrew threads 31 at its lower end. Ashoulder 36 of cartridge holder 32abuts shoulder 30 ofcartridge 12. - A
cap 38 having screw threads thereon is arranged to fit onfluid communication end 14 ofcartridge 12.Cap 38 includes apiercing member 40 which has apassageway 43 therein. A gas permeablehydrophobic membrane 41 is secured to the top ofcap 38 and coverspassageway 43. -
Assembly 10 includes a pair ofhalf housings housings external threads 45 designed to engage with threads on the inner bottom wall ofcartridge holder 32. - Interiorly of
housing plunger rod 46 which has arack gear 48 formed on one side thereof. Rackgear 48 is designed to engage with apinon gear 50. Agear retainer 52 is formed on one side ofhousing 44 while awheel 54 is arranged to drivepinon gear 50. - In operation, and as may be seen in
FIGS. 3A to 3C ,housing cartridge holder 32. At this point in time, plungerrod 46abuts closure member 20. Operation ofwheel 54 will cause movement ofplunger rod 46 which will then advanceclosure member 20 which in turn causes pressure to advanceplunger 22 to the position shown inFIG. 3B wherein it is located at by-pass 24. Continued slow and steady advancement will then cause the diluent insecond chamber 28 to enterfirst chamber 26 untilclosure member 20abuts plunger 22. The two components inchambers passageway 43 inpiercing member 40 while the liquid is retained due tohydrophobic membrane 41. - When fully mixed,
cartridge holder 32 can be unscrewed fromhousing pen injector 56 in a conventional manner as shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 . - It will be understood that the above described embodiments are for purposes of illustration only and that changes and modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
