<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a reconstitution device that facilitates user interaction by increasing the likelihood that the user follows the proper steps in a reconstitution process, as well as sufficiently preventing the device from being inadvertently actuated or reused. <P>SOLUTION: The reconstitution device for storing a first component of a pharmaceutical preparation includes a receptacle, a cap having a first end secured to the receptacle, a second end, and an inner bore having a central aperture. The device further includes a stopper located between the receptacle and the cap and including a portion capable of being perforated. The device also includes a plunger secured to the second end of the cap, a locking mechanism located in the cap, and an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism may prevent the device from inadvertent activation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
