Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage vial containing a medicinal substance and provided with a transfer device for transferring this substance directly, or after having mixed it with another substance, in another container, this vial comprising an open narrowed neck and the transfer device comprising a closure member at least partially engaged in this neck, at least during storage, in which the closure member consists of two elements: a first element constituted by a solid plug of elastomer, the diameter is substantially equal to that of the neck of the bottle and which is engaged in this neck to close it sealingly during storage, and a second element consisting of an elastomer O-ring whose outside diameter is substantially equal to that of the neck of the bottle and which is engaged in this neck.
  • Medicinal substances whether directly usable or whether they constitute the components of a mixture, are usually stored in containers which can either be flame-sealed glass ampoules or vials sealed with a stopper. shutter.
  • this liquid must be introduced into the storage bottle to come into contact with the solid or powdery component and for the dissolve.
  • the closure member must be pierced to allow the liquid to flow or pushed entirely inside the bottle so as to release the neck, or else partially pushed back so as to release a lateral opening allowing passage some cash.
  • a first problem posed by known bottles is that caused by the piercing of the closure member to allow the solvent to be transferred inside the bottle.
  • This piercing can tear elastomeric material from the plug usually used as a sealing member, and the torn particles can, in some cases, be injected into the body and cause serious disorders.
  • the present invention overcomes the drawbacks of known prior systems and eliminates all the risks associated with piercing a shutter member.
  • a second problem posed by known bottles is that of the waterproof barrier and the aseptic barrier.
  • the closure member must fulfill several functions and must meet several requirements both during storage and during use.
  • the obturation member During the use phase, it must constitute both a tight barrier and an aseptic barrier preventing in particular any bacterial penetration inside the bottle.
  • the obturation member During the use phase, the obturation member must maintain, in particular in the initial activation phase, an aseptic barrier to protect the contents of the bottle and free access to the interior of this bottle to allow the solvent penetration.
  • the present invention is designed to solve this problem by structuring the shutter member so that it can fulfill all of the functions defined above.
  • a third problem posed by known bottles is due to the fact that during the dissolution of the component by the solvent, large amounts of gas and in particular carbon dioxide can be released, which generates a significant overpressure in the bottle or in the container. of use.
  • this gas can be transferred into this container.
  • this gas must imperatively be evacuated, at least in part.
  • this device does not solve the first problem mentioned above since the activation is done by piercing or tearing off an elastomer membrane.
  • the present invention also makes it possible to solve this problem by providing means for evacuating the pressurized gas inside the storage bottle when the pulverulent solid substance is dissolved by the solvent.
  • the bottle is characterized in that the transfer device is constituted by a trocar with double conduit, the openings of which are axially offset with respect to each other, and in that one of these openings opens freely in said space formed between said first and said second element of the shutter member.
  • said first element is a lyophilization stopper comprising a solid upper part and a lower extension provided with lateral vents, this extension being designed to ensure prepositioning of the stopper on the neck of the bottle during the lyophilization of the substance. contained in this bottle.
  • the bottle comprises a capsule adapted over the neck of said bottle and movable axially between a storage position and an activated position, this capsule having a substantially cylindrical inner part comprising at least one shoulder serving as support to said second element of the shutter member, and the transfer device is integral with the inner part of the capsule.
  • Said interior opening opening into the space formed between said first and second elements can be formed in the wall of the interior part of the capsule and makes said space communicate with a central cavity of this capsule.
  • the transfer device is provided with at least one vent also opening into the space provided between said first element and said second element of the shutter member.
  • Said vent may include a calibrated orifice and be associated with a filter.
  • said filter is of the hydrophobic type.
  • Said vent can also be made in the bottom of the inner part of the capsule and opens into the central cavity of this capsule.
  • the storage bottle 10 is associated with a transfer device 11 which is adapted on the neck 12 of the bottle 10 containing a medicinal substance 13 in the powder state.

  • the element elongated was used to pierce the closure cap 32 of the container 30.
  • the capsule 23 was pressed onto the neck 12 of the bottle 10, which had the effect of pushing the first element 16a of the organ of obturation 15 inside this bottle and to release the orifices 20a and 21a.
  • the liquid 31, contained in the container 30, flows through the axial duct 20 inside the bottle 10, and the air, initially contained in the bottle 10, or the gases generated by the reaction of the solvent 31 on the powder 13, are discharged through the axial channel 21 in the container 30.
  • the powder is a substance which reacts with the solvent by releasing a large amount of gas
  • the container is made of glass or of a material which withstands high overpressure.
  • the liquid 31 dissolves the powdery substance 13 and constitutes a solution liquid medicament which can then be transferred almost entirely into the container 30, after inversion of the assembly as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the transfer device makes it possible to connect two rigid bottles and that the transfer operation proper can be carried out in a sterile environment with a minimum risk of contamination.
  • the device makes it possible to transfer in two directions, that is to say from one bottle to another or vice versa, of any liquid substance.
