FILING SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ASEPTIC CARTRIDGE AND DISPENSER ARRANGEMENT
A package for use with a beneficial agent delivery device. The package includes at least one filling chamber having a sealed penetrable access region, at least one compartment configured to hold a content, wherein the content includes at least one of a beneficial agent or a constituent of a beneficial agent, and at least one channel connecting the at least one filling chamber in fluid communication with the at least one compartment. At least a portion of the package is resealable to contain the content.
Aseptic tamper evident sampling container
A closed and tamper-evident sealed container, including a fluid transport adapter. The adapter provides for sterile fluid communication between a fluid source outside the container and the container interior when adapter is open. The adapter is adjustable to a closed position wherein the fluid communication ceases. An alternative to the adapter utilizes a sampling attachment that fits into tight engagement with the lid which comprises at least one septum. Coupling the sampling attachment to the lid either causes sharps in the attachment to penetrate the at least one septum or to displace the edges of the septum inward to form a fluid communication with the container interior while the lid remains sealed closed. Other variations include a rotatable sampling attachment, a container with a displaceable bottom wall to act as a syringe and a large volume (e.g., 1500 mL) sealed ampoule which also uses a sampling attachment.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE SAMPLING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF BLOOD PRODUCTS, AND SAMPLING SYSTEMS THEREFOR
There is provided a method of sampling an aliquot of blood products from a main container containing the blood products to be sampled. The method includes providing a sample container that is rectangular-shaped and has a length-over−width (L/W) ratio of at least that of the main container, and fluidly connecting the a sample container to the main container, transferring the aliquot of the blood products from the main container to the sample container, and forming an air bubble in the sample container by introducing a volume of air into the sample container with the aliquot of the blood products. The volume of air forming the air bubble corresponds to at least about 5% of a volume of the aliquot of the blood products. A sampling bag and a sampling system are disclosed.
A FLUID CONTAINER
The present disclosure generally relates to a fluid container (100) for holding a fluid, specifically adapted for improved user handling by reducing the risk of fluid spillage in combination with easy extraction of the fluid comprised in the container (100). The fluid container (100) comprises a flap portion (110), which in its down-folded state allows for a predetermined amount of liquid to be stored in the container without the risk of leakage, and which flap-portion (110) in its up-folded state allows for easy extraction of fluid from the container (100). The present disclosure also relates to a fluid container system.

VIAL SUPPORTER FOR MEDICAMENT PUMP
Devices and methods for filling a medicament cartridge of a pump, including a user-wearable, ambulatory infusion pump. A device for supporting a medicament cartridge can comprise a body portion resembling a tray, with recesses disposed therein to support one or more of a cartridge body, cartridge tubing, interconnect fitting, and vial adapter. The recesses of the tray may be shaped to correspond to that component intended to be placed in its respective recess so to provide a visual indication to a user how to couple and align the various components necessary to fill the cartridge.

Fill needle system
The present invention involves a fill needle system for aseptically dispensing a pharmaceutical fluid in an aseptic chamber comprises a fill needle tubing in fluid communication with a pharmaceutical fluid source via flexible tubing and extending through a fill needle hub; a fill needle dispensing tip disposed at a dispensing end of the fill needle tubing; a fill needle sheath shaped and arranged to removably mate with and seal aseptically to the fill needle hub to form an aseptically sealed volume enclosing the dispensing tip; and a fluid pressure pulse induction system disposed and configured to compress the flexible tubing in order to dislodge droplets of pharmaceutical fluid retained on the dispensing tip after halting dispensing of the pharmaceutical fluid. An associated method of dispensing pharmaceutical fluid comprises operating the fluid pressure pulse induction system to dislodge the droplets. The system may comprise a controller for automatically controlling the dispensing and droplet dislodging.
