Once filled, the syringe is connected to a catheter via a specific adapter. In this system, the connection device therefore does not include a needle holder waiting for connection with the syringe body. This system is not suitable for reconstituting a drug for a puncture.

Then, it is necessary to arrange the container, the connecting device and the syringe body, then assembled, in a position where the contents of the container flow towards the interior volume of the syringe body. In particular, the contents of the container pass through the internal volume of the hollow perforation member and through the central channel of the needle.
