Devices for filling a multi-use syringe or single-use syringe

摘要

A filling device (300) for breaking at least one ampoule (700) and for filling a syringe (600) from the ampoule is disclosed. The filling device has a base body (310), which delimits at least one hollow space (315). At the distal end, each hollow space has a removal opening, which is connected to a port (313) for the multi-use syringe. A breaking unit is designed to break the ampoule located in the hollow space. In some embodiments, the breaking unit comprises an actuating element, which is used to slide at least two ampoules onto a wedge-shaped structure, respectively, by way of a single actuating movement in the longitudinal direction, in order to apply a lateral force on the tips of the ampoules. In other embodiments, the breaking unit comprises an actuating element (320) that can be inserted in the transverse direction and acts directly on the tips of the ampoules in order to shatter or shear them off.

主权项

1. A filling device for filling a multiple syringe from at least two ampules, the filling device comprising:
a base body delimiting at least a first and a second cavity, each of the cavities having a proximal end and a distal end, each of the cavities defining a longitudinal direction and having at its distal end a removal opening, for removal of a fluid from the cavity; a first port communicating with the removal opening of the first cavity, and a second port communicating with the removal opening of the second cavity, the first and the second port being configured to interact with complementary connecting pieces of a multiple syringe; and a breaking unit, which is configured to break a first ampule disposed in the first cavity and a second ampule disposed in the second cavity simultaneously or successively by way of a single actuating movement, wherein the breaking unit comprises an actuating element which is movable relative to the base body and which is configured to act upon the ampules disposed in the cavities by way of a single movement of the actuating element along an actuating direction, wherein the actuating element is adapted to be advanced into the cavities along an actuating direction running obliquely or transversely to the longitudinal direction in order to apply a force component, acting perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, to a distal end region of each of the ampules, and wherein the actuating element comprises at least two mutually connected, parallelly arranged breaking structures, which are adapted to be advanced into the cavities through lateral openings of the base body.
