Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical multi-chamber container system for mixing two or more ingredients of a pharmaceutical product, and more particularly to a pre-filled container insert to be used with such a system.
  • Solid active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) or formulated products generally have better shelf-life, i.e. degrade at a slower rate than solutions (or dispersions/emulsions) of the same compound. Therefore, it is commonplace to use dry powder, for example to freeze-dry or spray-dry pharmaceutical products to extend shelf-life of a pharmaceutical product to practical length, typically at least 18-24 months.
  • a solid product must be dissolved in a suitable solvent before it can be administered to the patient, usually via oral or parenteral routes or by nasal delivery.
  • the dissolution of the solid in a solvent is typically made via transfer of the solvent from a vial or bag using a syringe.
  • JP2000037441A relates to an infusion container system having a solid drug storing part connected to a liquid solution container.
  • a fluid communication channel is established between the two containers by pressing the solid medicine storing part to the solution container side and a partitioning member is opened and moved from a seal part.
  • the solid drug dissolves in the liquid solution by shaking the whole transfusion container.
  • the solution is now ready to be administered to a patient and a puncture needle is introduced into an infusion solution take off connection provided in the top of the solid drug storage container.
  • a drawback with this device is that it requires a complicated construction of the solid drug storing part comprising several parts and which will involve a number of production steps.
  • a further drawback is that two steps need to be carried out before the solution can be administered to a patient, namely first allow for mixing of the two ingredients and then introducing a needle to connect for example an infusion set.

  • bottom disc formed by a weakening rim in the bottom periphery of the moulded container casing, wherein the bottom disc is openable to allow mixing of the pre-filled solid component with a diluents fluid of the pharmaceutical container system by introducing a spike through the resilient stopper applying a pushing force on the bottom disc, by which force the weakening rim is broken and the container insert is opened.
  • a pre-filled container insert for use in a pharmaceutical container system for mixing two or more ingredients of a pharmaceutical product.
  • the pre-filled container insert comprises;
  • moulded container casing having walls, bottom and an open top for receiving an inner open cylinder and a solid component, - a resilient stopper for sealing the open top of the moulded container casing,
  • bottom disc formed by a weakening rim in the bottom periphery of the moulded container casing, wherein the bottom disc is openable to allow mixing of the pre-filled solid component with a diluents fluid of the pharmaceutical container system by applying a pushing force onto the top of the moulded container, thereby compressing the casing and forcing the inner cylinder towards the bottom disc, by which force the weakening rim is broken and the container insert is opened.
  • An advantage of preferred embodiments of the present invention is that there is provided a pre-filled container insert that is constructed from a minimum of parts and at the same time has efficient and robust construction.

  • the weakening rim in the bottom disc is arranged around the periphery of the bottom of the container casing forming a hinged disc such that the bottom disc remains connected to the container casing when the weakening rim is broken and the container is opened. In this way the bottom disc is prevented from falling out into the diluents container after opening of the pre-filled container insert.
  • the resilient stopper is secured in place by a clamp ring to hermetically seal the top opening.
  • the clamp ring locks and fixes the resilient stopper in the open top of the container casing and the moulded casing is hermetically sealed.

  • a standard procedure for a nurse preparing an intra- venous (IV)-container is to visually inspect, and in some procedures to spike, the IV-container before starting infusion. Therefore, using a pharmaceutical container system according to embodiments of the present invention, the standard working procedure is not changed. In preferred embodiments, by simply pushing the container top to allow mixing and then ensure the complete mixing operation by visual inspection, a simple an intuitive procedure is obtained. In addition, no separate mixing step using hypodermic needles are necessary, eliminating the risk of needle-stick injuries. Mixing is made without risk of microbial contamination since the solid and liquid chambers are both parts of the same hermetically sealed container. In other embodiments, similar steps are carried out but for preparing a nasal delivery device such as a nasal spray, which typically comprises a container, and a spray or other nasal delivery mechanism attached thereto.
