The fluid manifold system also includes a plurality of tubular connectors with each tubular connector being secured to the first manifold at the second end of a corresponding one of the secondary flow paths.

A system for dispensing a liquid in a closed chamber includes at least one rapid transfer port in at least one wall of the closed chamber. In addition, a liquid is dispensed in a closed chamber that includes at least one rapid transfer port in at least one wall of the closed chamber.

An isolator system for filling a container with a liquid, the isolator system comprises a filling module having a filling station for filling the container with the liquid, a stopper placing station for placing a stopper on the filled container, and a plurality of handling devices for handling the container within the filling module; a first transfer station for transferring the container to be filled into the filling module; a second transfer station for transferring the filled container out of the filling module; and a control device. The present application also discloses a transfer station for transferring a container and several methods.

In one general aspect, a method for filling multiple containers with a pharmaceutical product is disclosed, which comprises decontaminating sealed nested materials in a transfer chamber, removing from the sealed nested materials one or both of a container nest holding the multiple containers and a closure nest holding multiple closures, transferring from the transfer chamber to a controlled environment enclosure the removed nest, aseptically filling the containers with the pharmaceutical product, and closing the containers with the multiple closures. The nests are configured to allow multiple closures and containers to be simultaneously aligned concentrically, and closed simultaneously. Spring-loaded retaining structures on the closure nest allow it to releasably retain multiple closures above the corresponding multiple containers. In some embodiments the spring-loaded features are monolithically integrated with the closure nest. The product may be lyophilized in partially sealed containers while the sealing closures are releasably retained by the closure nest.

The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for placing mixing balls (1) into pharmaceutical containers (2), comprising a transport device (30) for conveying, preferably intermittently, the containers (2), and comprising a feed device (45) for the mixing balls (1), wherein the feed device (45) can be moved between a position for removing mixing balls (1) from a storage means (46) and a position for transferring the mixing balls (1) into the containers (2).

An object is to provide a method for producing a port that can shorten the time for production. Provided is a method for producing a port including: sealingly inserting a sealing plug, through which a hollow needle can be pierced, into a part to be sealed of a port body, wherein the port body includes: a part to be sealed that has a tubular shape with a first end and a second end opposite to the first end; a connection part that has a tubular shape, and is continuous with the first end of the part to be sealed; and the part to be fitted that is formed in any one of an inner peripheral surface of the part to be sealed, an outer peripheral surface of the part to be sealed, and the second end of the part to be sealed; fitting a fitting part of a pulling-out prevention member into the part to be fitted, wherein the pulling-out prevention member includes: a body part that has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and the fitting part that is continuous with the body part; and laying the body part on the sealing plug.

A gas mixing system for providing mixed gas for intraocular injection. In some embodiments, a first fixed-volume chamber is automatically purged and filled with gas from a first gas supply input, to a first predetermined pressure. A second fixed-volume chamber is purged and filled with gas from a second gas supply input, to a second predetermined pressure. The first and second predetermined pressures are determined based on a desired concentration of gases in the final mix, and the respective volumes of the first and second fixed-volume chambers and of a third fixed-volume chamber. Gas from the first fixed-volume chamber is then allowed to mix with gas in the third fixed-volume chamber, which was previously purged. Next, gas from the second fixed-volume chamber is allowed to mix with gas in the third fixed-volume chamber. Finally, the mixture of gases in the third fixed-volume chamber is expressed into an intraocular syringe.

A filling aid device for filling a reservoir. The device includes a cover portion comprising a septum window; a slider beam comprising a septum cover; and a first filling aid tab attached to the slider beam, the first filling aid tab in slidable relation to the cover from a first position to a second position, wherein when the filling aid device is in an unlocked position, the septum cover is located below the septum window, wherein when the first filling aid tab is moved from the first position to the second position, the septum cover is moved from below the septum window, and the filling aid device is in the locked position.

The invention relates to an installation (1) for treating the inner face (6) of the wall (3) of a glass container (2), which wall (3) delimits a receiving cavity (4) and an opening (5) providing access to the cavity (4), the installation (1) comprising a source (12) of a treatment substance (13) and a means (15) for dispensing the treatment substance (13) into the cavity (4) of the container (1), said dispensing means (15) comprising a metering chamber (16) which extends between an inlet orifice (18) and an opposite outlet orifice (19) intended to be positioned above the opening (5) of the container, and also an upper shutter (20) and a lower shutter (21) for the chamber (16), which are positioned in a tiered manner at the inlet orifice (18) and the outlet orifice (19), respectively, of the chamber (16).
