  • the protective cap contains a pierceable rubber membrane which is arranged under a tearable section of the end wall of the protective cap. After the end wall has been torn off, the spike of a transmission device can be pierced through the membrane to let liquid run out of the container. It is possible to add medication to the container contents by piercing the membrane with a syringe needle and then injecting the medication into the container through the needle.
  • Such containers are sold under the name "Ecoflac”.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a container of the type described with regard to security against contamination and to facilitate a defined docking of external devices.
  • the protective cap with which the container is sealed is provided with at least two ports, namely a removal port and an addition port.
  • a removal port In order to gain access to the interior of the container, it is not necessary to tear off a larger area of the protective cap and to expose a membrane located underneath. Rather, it is sufficient to remove the tear-off closure part only from the port that is to be used.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Container für medizinische Flüssigkeiten, der die Flüssigkeit keimdicht umschließt und zu einer Entnahme durch ein Übertragungsgerät bereitstellt, und der auch eine Zugabe von Medikamenten zum Behälterinhalt ermöglicht.The invention relates to a container for medical liquids, which encloses the liquid in a germ-tight manner and makes it available for removal by a transmission device, and which also enables medication to be added to the container contents.

In der Medizintechnik sind sogenannte Blow-Fill-Seal-Container bekannt. Hierbei handelt es sich um flaschenartige Behälter aus Kunststoff, die im Blasverfahren hergestellt und unmittelbar an ihre Herstellung mit der Flüssigkeit gefüllt und dann keimdicht verschlossen werden. Zum Verschließen dieser Behälter wird auf einen Behälterstutzen eine Kappe aufgesetzt, die entlang eines Ringkragens durch Umspritzen oder Spiegelschweißen dicht und dauerhaft mit dem Containerkörper verbunden wird. Die Schutzkappe enthält eine durchstechbare Gummimembran, die unter einem abreißbaren Abschnitt der Stirnwand der Schutzkappe angeordnet ist. Nach dem Abreißen der Stirnwand kann der Einstechdorn eines Übertragungsgerätes durch die Membran hindurchgestochen werden, um Flüssigkeit aus dem Container herauslaufen zu lassen. Eine Zugabe von Medikamenten zum Containerinhalt ist möglich, indem die Membran mit einer Spritzennadel durchstochen und anschließend durch die Nadel hindurch das Medikament in den Container injiziert wird. Derartige Container werden unter der Bezeichnung "Ecoflac" vertrieben.So-called blow-fill-seal containers are known in medical technology. These are bottle-like containers made of plastic, which are manufactured using the blowing process and immediately filled with the liquid when they are produced, and then sealed in a germ-tight manner. To close these containers, a cap is placed on a container neck, which is tightly and permanently connected to the container body along an annular collar by extrusion coating or mirror welding. The protective cap contains a pierceable rubber membrane which is arranged under a tearable section of the end wall of the protective cap. After the end wall has been torn off, the spike of a transmission device can be pierced through the membrane to let liquid run out of the container. It is possible to add medication to the container contents by piercing the membrane with a syringe needle and then injecting the medication into the container through the needle. Such containers are sold under the name "Ecoflac".

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Container der erläuterten Art im Hinblick auf Sicherheit gegen Kontamination zu verbessern und ein definiertes Andocken externer Geräte zu erleichtern.The invention has for its object to improve a container of the type described with regard to security against contamination and to facilitate a defined docking of external devices.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features specified in claim 1.

Nach der Erfindung ist die Schutzkappe, mit der der Container abdichtend verschlossen ist, mit mindestens zwei Ports versehen, nämlich einem Entnahmeport und einem Additionsport. Um Zugang zum Behälterinnern zu erreichen, muß nicht ein größerer Flächenbereich der Schutzkappe abgerissen und eine darunter befindliche Membran großflächig freigelegt werden. Vielmehr reicht es aus, das abreißbare Verschlußteil nur von demjenigen Port zu entfernen, der benutzt werden soll. In den betreffenden Port kann das zugehörige Übertragungsgerät eingeführt werden, wobei der Entnahmeport zweckmäßigerweise so ausgebildet ist, daß er für alle gängigen Entnahme-Übertragungsgeräte passend ist. Dies bedeutet, daß ein Zugangskanal geöffnet wird, dessen Querschnitt nicht wesentlich größer ist als derjenige üblicher Einstechdorne von Entnahme-Übertragungsgeräten. Dadurch wird eine großflächige Freilegung des Dichtelements, das aus einer durchstechbaren Membran oder einem mechanisch zu öffnenden Ventil besteht, vermieden. Da bei dem Öffnen des jeweiligen Ports keine großflächigen Bereiche des unter oder in dem Port befindlichen Dichtelements freigelegt werden, wird die Gefahr einer Kontamination des Dichtelementes verringert. Das Dichtelement ist beispielsweise nicht mit den Fingern erreichbar. Andererseits ermöglicht der Port ein "Andocken" des jeweiligen Übertragungsgerätes, das reversibel an dem Port befestigt werden kann und sich nicht an dem Verschlußteil festhalten muß.According to the invention, the protective cap with which the container is sealed is provided with at least two ports, namely a removal port and an addition port. In order to gain access to the interior of the container, it is not necessary to tear off a larger area of the protective cap and to expose a membrane located underneath. Rather, it is sufficient to remove the tear-off closure part only from the port that is to be used. The associated transmission device can be inserted into the relevant port, the removal port being expediently designed such that it is suitable for all common removal transmission devices. This means that an access channel is opened, the cross-section of which is not significantly larger than that of conventional piercing mandrels of removal transmission devices. This will expose the sealing element over a large area, which consists of a pierceable membrane or a mechanically opening valve is avoided. Since no large areas of the sealing element located under or in the port are exposed when the respective port is opened, the risk of contamination of the sealing element is reduced. For example, the sealing element cannot be reached with the fingers. On the other hand, the port enables the respective transmission device to "dock", which can be reversibly attached to the port and does not have to hold onto the closure part.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Verwendung zweier Ports besteht darin, daß eine gerichtete Anbringung der Übertragungsgeräte möglich ist. Jedes der Übertragungsgeräte wird von dem Rohrstutzen des betreffenden Ports ausgerichtet, so daß die Übertragungsgeräte nicht schräg zueinander, wahllos und ungeordnet erscheinend, an der Schutzkappe hängen.Another advantage of using two ports is that it is possible to attach the transmission devices in a directed manner. Each of the transmission devices is aligned by the pipe socket of the relevant port, so that the transmission devices do not hang obliquely to one another, appearing randomly and disorderly, on the protective cap.

Vorzugsweise ist mindestens eines der Verschlußteile ein Brechknebel, der ein Griffteil und zwischen dem Griffteil und der Sollbruchlinie einen Schutzteller aufweist. Der Schutzteller schützt den schutzkappenseitigen Brechrand an der Sollbruchlinie des Verschlußteiles vor Berührungskontamination durch die an dem Griffteil angreifende Hand. Er bildet einen Schutzschild, durch den verhindert wird, daß beim Aufdrehen des Brechknebels die Hand in die Nähe der Sollbruchlinie gelangt. An dem Additionsport ist zweckmäßigerweise eine Rastkante zum Festhalten eines Schutzdeckels vorgesehen. Dieser Schutzdeckel ermöglicht es, den Additionsport nach der Zugabe eines Medikaments in den Container wieder zu verschließen. Der Schutzdeckel kann irreversibel an der Rastkante befestigt sein. Dies bedeutet, daß der Schutzdeckel nach dem erstmaligen Aufbringen nicht mehr beschädigungsfrei von dem Additionsport abgenommen werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird eine Originalitätssicherung erreicht, mit der eine nachträgliche Zugabe von Substanzen zum Behälterinhalt verhindert oder zumindest erkennbar gemacht wird.At least one of the closure parts is preferably a crushing gag which has a grip part and a protective plate between the grip part and the predetermined breaking line. The protective plate protects the breaking edge on the protective cap side at the predetermined breaking line of the closure part against contact contamination by the hand acting on the grip part. It forms a protective shield, which prevents the hand from getting close to the predetermined breaking line when the crimping gag is unscrewed. A latching edge for holding a protective cover is expediently provided on the addition port. This protective cover makes it possible to add the port after adding a drug to the container to close again. The protective cover can be irreversibly attached to the locking edge. This means that after the first application, the protective cover can no longer be removed from the addition port without damage. In this way, tamper-evident is achieved with which the subsequent addition of substances to the container contents is prevented or at least made recognizable.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist ein Blow-Fill-Seal-Container 10 vorgesehen, auf dessen Behälterhals 11 eine Schutzkappe 12 aufgesetzt ist. Der Behälterhals 11 und die Schutzkappe 12 sind mit aufeinandergelegten Flanschen versehen, die durch Umspritzen oder Spiegelschweißen zu einem Ringkragen 13 vereinigt sind. Die Schutzkappe 12 hat die Form eines umgedrehten runden Bechers. Von ihrer Stirnwand stehen zwei Rohrstutzen 14,15 senkrecht ab. Der Rohrstutzen 14 ist Bestandteil des Entnahmeports 16 und der Rohrstutzen 15 ist Bestandteil des Additionsports 17. Der Rohrstutzen 14 ist durch ein ihm einstückig angeformtes Verschlußteil 18 verschlossen, das entlang einer Sollbruchlinie 19, bei der es sich um eine Schwächungslinie handelt, abdichtend mit dem Ende des Rohrstutzens verbunden ist. Das Verschlußteil 19 ist als Brechknebel ausgebildet, d.h. es weist ein flügelförmiges Griffteil 20 auf, das zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger ergriffen werden kann, um das Verschlußteil 18 zu drehen und längs der Sollbruchlinie 19 von dem Rohrstutzen 14 abzulösen. Zwischen dem Griffteil 20 und der Sollbruchlinie 19 ist dem Verschlußteil 18 ein Schutzteller 21 angeformt, dessen Durchmesser größer ist als derjenige der Sollbruchlinie 19. Der Schutzteller 20 überdeckt die Sollbruchlinie 19 und bildet einen Schutzschild, der das Berühren der Sollbruchlinie mit der Hand verhindert.1, a blow-fill-seal container 10 is provided, on the container neck 11 of which a protective cap 12 is placed. The container neck 11 and the protective cap 12 are provided with superimposed flanges which, by extrusion coating or mirror welding, form an annular collar 13 are united. The protective cap 12 has the shape of an inverted round cup. Two pipe sockets 14, 15 project vertically from their end wall. The pipe stub 14 is part of the removal port 16 and the pipe stub 15 is part of the addition port 17. The pipe stub 14 is closed by an integrally molded closure part 18, which seals along a predetermined breaking line 19, which is a weakening line, with the end of the pipe socket is connected. The closure part 19 is designed as a crushing gag, that is to say it has a wing-shaped grip part 20 which can be gripped between the thumb and forefinger in order to rotate the closure part 18 and detach it from the pipe socket 14 along the predetermined breaking line 19. Between the handle part 20 and the predetermined breaking line 19, a protective plate 21 is formed on the closure part 18, the diameter of which is larger than that of the predetermined breaking line 19. The protective plate 20 covers the predetermined breaking line 19 and forms a protective shield which prevents the predetermined breaking line from being touched by hand.

Angrenzend an die Sollbruchlinie 19 ist auf dem Rohrstutzen 14 ein ringförmige Rastkante 22 vorgesehen, die den Rohrstutzen seitlich überragt. Die Sollbruchlinie 19 befindet sich zwischen der seitlich vorstehenden Rastkante 22 und dem Schutzteller 21 in einem eingeschnürten Bereich und ist mit der Hand nicht zugänglich.Adjacent to the predetermined breaking line 19, an annular latching edge 22 is provided on the pipe socket 14, which laterally projects beyond the pipe socket. The predetermined breaking line 19 is located between the laterally projecting locking edge 22 and the protective plate 21 in a constricted area and is not accessible by hand.

Die umlaufende, seitlich überstehende Rastkante 23 ist auch auf dem Rohrstutzen 15 des Additionsports 17 vorgesehen. Darüber befindet sich die Sollbruchlinie 24, an der das Verschlußteil 25 mit der Stirnwand des Rohrstutzens 15 verbunden ist. Dem Verschlußteil 25 ist ein Schutzdeckel 26 angeformt, der nach dem Abbrechen des Verschlußteils auf den dann offenen Rohrstutzen 15 aufgesetzt werden kann und sich an der Rastkante 23 einrastend festhält. Vorzugsweise ist diese Rastung irreversibel, so daß der Schutzdeckel 26 nicht mehr von dem Rohrstutzen 15 abgenommen werden kann, nachdem er auf diesen aufgesetzt wurde. Der Schutzdeckel 26 befindet sich an dem der Sollbruchlinie 24 abgewandten Ende des Verschlußteils 25. Ein Griffflügel 27, der von dem Schutzdeckel radial absteht, dient dazu, das Abdrehen des Verschlußteils 25 von dem Rohrstutzen 15 zu erleichtern.The circumferential, laterally projecting locking edge 23 is also provided on the pipe socket 15 of the addition port 17. The predetermined breaking line 24 is located above it, on which the closure part 25 is connected to the end wall of the pipe socket 15. The closure part 25 is formed with a protective cover 26 which, after breaking off the closure part, can be placed on the pipe socket 15 which is then open and which latches onto the latching edge 23. This detent is preferably irreversible, so that the protective cover 26 can no longer be removed from the pipe socket 15 after it has been placed on it. The protective cover 26 is located at the end of the closure part 25 facing away from the predetermined breaking line 24. A grip wing 27, which projects radially from the protective cover, serves to make it easier to unscrew the closure part 25 from the pipe socket 15.

Im Innern der Schutzkappe 12 befindet sich eine Membran 30, die an der Stirnwand der Schutzkappe 12 anliegt und die durch die Rohrstutzen 14,15 hindurchgehenden Kanäle 31,32 bedeckt. Die Membran 30 weist einen Ansatz 33 auf, der in den Kanal 32 des Rohrstutzens 15 hineinragt.Inside the protective cap 12 there is a membrane 30, which bears against the end wall of the protective cap 12 and covers the channels 31, 32 passing through the pipe socket 14, 15. The membrane 30 has a shoulder 33 which projects into the channel 32 of the pipe socket 15.

Bei Benutzung des Additionsports 17 wird das Verschlußteil 25 entlang der Sollbruchlinie 24 von dem Rohrstutzen 15 abgedreht. Dann wird mit der Nadel eines Injektionsgerätes die Membran 30 bzw. der Ansatz 33 durchstochen. Dabei kann das Injektionsgerät reversibel an der Rastkante 23 verriegelt werden. Mit dem Injektionsgerät wird ein Medikament durch die Nadel hindurch in den Container 10 injiziert. Anschließend wird das Injektionsgerät wieder entfernt. Der Additionsport 17 wird mit dem Schutzdeckel 26 verschlossen.When using the addition port 17, the closure part 25 is twisted off the pipe socket 15 along the predetermined breaking line 24. Then the membrane 30 or the neck 33 is pierced with the needle of an injection device. The injection device can be locked reversibly on the locking edge 23. With the injection device, medication is injected through the needle into the container 10. The injection device is then removed again. The addition port 17 is closed with the protective cover 26.

Zum Entnehmen der im Container 10 enthaltenen Flüssigkeit wird das Verschlußteil 18 des Entnahmeports 16 von dem Rohrstutzen 14 abgedreht. Dann wird der Einstechdorn eines Übertragungsgerätes in den Kanal 31 eingeführt, wobei die Spitze des Einstechdorns die Membran 30 durchdringt. In dem Kanal 31 wird der Einstechdorn eng geführt. Außerdem können an dem Kanal 31 unter dem Einstechdorn zusammenwirkende Verriegelungselemente vorgesehen sein, die z.B. nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses zusammengreifen und ein axiales Herausziehen des Einstechdornes verhindern. Schließlich dient auch die Rastkante 22 dazu, ein Übertragungsgerät an dem Rohrstutzen 14 zu verriegeln. Nach dem Anschluß des Übertragungsgerätes an den Entnahmeport 16 wird der Container 10 mit dem Kopf nach unten aufgehängt, so daß die Flüssigkeit aus dem Container durch das Übertragungsgerät hindurch ablaufen kann.To remove the liquid contained in the container 10, the closure part 18 of the removal port 16 is unscrewed from the pipe socket 14. The spike of a transmission device is then inserted into the channel 31, the tip of the spike penetrating the membrane 30. The piercing mandrel is guided closely in the channel 31. In addition, cooperating locking elements can be provided on the channel 31 under the spike, which e.g. Grasp like a bayonet catch and prevent the spike from being pulled out axially. Finally, the locking edge 22 also serves to lock a transmission device on the pipe socket 14. After connecting the transmission device to the removal port 16, the container 10 is hung upside down so that the liquid can drain out of the container through the transmission device.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel von Fig. 4 gleicht weitgehend dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel, so daß die nachfolgende Beschreibung auf die Unterschiede beschränkt werden kann. Gemäß Fig. 4 ist der Schutzdeckel 26 zum Verschließen des geöffneten Additionsports 17 der Schutzkappe 12 einstückig angeformt. Hierzu ist eine flexible Lasche 35 vorgesehen, die den Schutzdeckel 26 mit irgendeinem Teil der Schutzkappe verbindet. Die Lasche 35 verhindert nicht das Abdrehen des Verschlußteils 25 und erlaubt es, dieses Verschlußteil umzudrehen, um den Schutzdeckel 26 auf den Rohrstutzen 15 aufzusetzen.The embodiment of FIG. 4 is largely the same as the first embodiment, so that the following description can be limited to the differences. 4, the protective cover 26 is integrally formed to close the opened addition port 17 of the protective cap 12. For this purpose, a flexible tab 35 is provided which connects the protective cover 26 to any part of the protective cap. The tab 35 does not prevent the closure part 25 from being twisted off and allows this closure part to be turned over in order to place the protective cover 26 on the pipe socket 15.
