<p>A syringe is used for assembling components of a pharmaceutical in a delivery system for a multiple component pharmaceutical. The syringe is used in conjunction with an adaptor cap and a transfer mechanism containing a double ended needle assembly to transfer a liquid component between the syringe and at least one other penetrable vessel including a vial containing a further component of the pharmaceutical which is then drawn back with the liquid into the protosyringe. Depending upon the application, the transfer mechanism or part of it may then be removed and discarded, including the vial and at least that end of the needle assembly penetrating the vial, so as to leave the syringe filled with both components and either presenting a needle coupling comprised by part of the needle assembly retained on the protosyringe, or presenting the original needle coupling of the syringe.</p> |
