MEANS FOR HANDLING TWO SOLUTIONS WHICH ARE TO BE MIXED TOGETHER

摘要

The invention provides an apparatus for storing two liquids to be mixed together in a sterile manner directly before administration, such as parenteral infusion solutions to be administered. The apparatus comprises a first container in the form of a flexible bag of plastics for receiving one of the liquids, and having a hanging device and a stopper closure and with a second container for receiving the second liquid, which is likewise provided with a stopper closure, both containers being secured together and their interior spaces being capable of being put in communication for the sterile mixing of the liquids contained in them. The second container is a separate rigid container capable of being closed in a vacuum-tight manner and having a volume corresponding to that of both liquids. A respective injection needle of an infusion set can be inserted through the stopper closures of both containers, the set having a ventable flexible connecting tube with one of the needles on its one end.
