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.

• 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.

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.
