摘要

A process and apparatus used in manufacturing prefilled, sterile delivery devices such as syringe assemblies (120). The process includes sealing a syringe container portion (122) at both ends and filling the same through a port (134) provided in the container portion (122) between the two ends. After filling, the port (134) is closed and sealed and the syringe assembly (120) is sterilized to provide a sterile delivery device with sterile contents. A suitable syringe container portion (122) for producing prefilled, sterile delivery devices is also disclosed.
