Definitions
- the present invention relates to a double-chamber container without a bypass in the cylindrical body, a method for its filling and its use.
- compositions which can not be used in solution for a prolonged period can be preserved, for example by lyophilization, and may be stored in the absence of air.
- the dry matter is not dissolved again until just before use, i. reconstituted.
- the prefilled syringes are usually cleaned, siliconized and provided with Ka ⁇ ülenschutz.
- both the rubber stopper and the inside of the glass cylinder can be coated with a silicone oil.
- the pre-filled syringes are pre-sterilized in batches and filled under sterile conditions. These are then provided with a piston plug and assembled, with the piston rods are mounted. Then it is labeled and packaged. Filling and sealing take place here from the back of the syringe, since the cannula side has too small an opening.
- such prefilled syringes are constructed so that each of the components is housed in a separate chamber, the chambers being arranged axially one behind the other and being communicated with one another just prior to use so that the liquid component of one chamber becomes the dry component of the other Chamber can transgress.
- the desired mixture is formed. It is known for this purpose to provide a bypass, for example in the form of an extension of the inner diameter of the glass cylinder in the syringe over which the liquid component can pass if a separating the two chambers stopper was moved so far into the bypass, that the liquid component the Can flow around plug.
- DE 32 13 072 describes a syringe which is subdivided into two compartments for receiving a powdered medicament and its solvent, the mixing taking place by retracting the piston rod of the syringe, whereby the solvent can flow around the piston.
- EP 1 038 543 discloses a dual-chamber syringe for medical purposes, which contains a piston rod with protruding latching elements, which are arranged diametrically in pairs and / or provide a mixing angle of 90 ° for controlled mixing and sequential administration of the mixture.
- a disadvantage of all the systems described is their very complex structure, which is based on specially designed valves or piston rods.
- DE 25 46 495 has in addition to a complex structure that connects a syringe and a container via a connector with each other the serious disadvantage that the plug falls into the container and there not only with the injected solvent, but also with the solid contained over a longer period in contact.
- this plug can cause problems with the removal of the mixture, since it can block the discharge opening and possibly restraining or absorbing part of the mixture.
- a dual chamber container for receiving and combining two separate components, at least one of which is liquid, comprising a cylindrical body, each having a closure at each of the two ends of the body, of which the closure is the liquid side Component containing chamber is displaced under pressure, as well as a displaceable only under increased pressure excretion stopper disposed in the cylindrical body, which defines the volume of the above and below arranged chamber, as a seal between the two
- Chambers with a continuous in the longitudinal axis of the separating plug opening, which has an upper portion and a lower
- Pressure exercise sliding shaped body is liquid-tightly sealed.
- an internal "bypass" is virtually provided in the separating stopper between the two chambers of a cylindrical container
- the special design according to the invention of the separating stopper between the two components in a two-chamber system is such that the function of the bypass, which is usually formed in prefilled syringes, is integrated in it This is achieved by a continuous opening in the longitudinal axis of the separation plug, the opening being divided into an upper section and a lower section, and a shaped body sealing the upper section of the opening in a suitable liquid-tight manner.
- Trennstopfens with a continuous opening, which is closed at the upper portion to the liquid side by a shaped body, increases by exerting an external force on the liquid, the pressure on the liquid side, resulting in that the molded body from its position in upper portion pressed into the opening or the opening channel and is pushed through this / these and this / these finally releases.
- the two components can be mixed without the sterile ones Conditions of the dual-chamber container are affected.
- the separating stopper "under slight to moderate pressure exercise is not displaced", ie this is to maintain force, for example, with the fingers or a punch on the upper closure and thus on the liquid side substantially its position in the cylindrical container, whereas the molded body "displaceable "should be, ie this should be due to the action of a force sufficient to displace the upper closure, i. a slight to moderate pressure, and thus leave its position with appropriate force on the liquid side to allow mixing of the two components.
- the separating stopper is only displaceable on the sealing stopper when "increased pressure is exerted", for example when the upper stopper or stopper has penetrated into the vitreous body so far that it touches the separating stopper and pushes it into the vitreous body with further exertion of force.
- one chamber may contain a liquid and the other chamber a solid.
- the invention is not limited in terms of the nature of the two components, provided that at least one component is liquid.
- a solid, powdered medicament preferably a lyophilisate, ie a lyophilized medicament
- a liquid product is frozen and then the frozen product is dried by sublimation.
- the liquid component is preferably a solution or dispersion medium for the solid; it may, for example, be a reconstitution medium for the lyophilizate.
- an injection solution can be prepared in either solution or dispersed form.
- the solvent is preferably water, but may also be another solvent or a mixture of solvents.
- the cylindrical body according to the invention is a substantially elongate and hollow body with two open ends, which is preferably integral, ie made in one piece, which is divided into chambers by the separating stopper.
- the "cylindrical" body does not necessarily have to be cylindrical in shape, although this is the most common shape, and any other geometric shape is possible for an elongate hollow body, such as angled or oval, with the closures and separating plugs and the like then attached to the selected one
- the material of which the cylindrical body is made or contains is not particularly limited in the present invention, for example, the container may be selected from plastics or glass.
- Cylindrical body is therefore preferably made of or contains glass, since this results in the least impairment of the components contained and the body is preferably transparent., For special requirements but other materials are suitable, such as special plastics or the like In particular, the medical safety plays a role, since the lowest possible interaction with the medium contained is to strive.
- the cylindrical body has the same diameter over the entire length.
- the separating plug disposed in the cylindrical body defines the size / volume / dimensions of the two chambers and, together with the shaped body, acts as a liquid blocking device for the liquid component, which is prevented from passing into the other chamber.
- the separating stopper as already explained, is arranged almost "stationary" in the cylindrical body and should therefore not be displaceable when a force is exerted on the chamber with the liquid component sufficient to displace the upper stopper rubbery, elastic material, such as plastic, in particular natural and synthetic rubber, thermoplastics, elastomers, thermoplastic elastomers and the like
- the separating plug is intended to ensure a seal between the two chambers and have the necessary strength to maintain its position even under moderate pressure.
- the separating plug to a suitable shape, dimension and / or a material which prevents the improper displacement from its predetermined and defined position in the cylindrical body.
- a suitable shape with projections, such as knobs, lips, beads or webs and / or for example by the choice of a larger diameter than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body.
- shape is intended to denote the outer shape or geometry
- dimension is intended to mean the dimensions, i. Size relationships, denote.
- the separating plug When the liquid is pressurized, the separating plug continues to adhere to the inner wall of the cylindrical body due to frictional forces. If the static friction of the separating stopper on the wall of the cylindrical body is not sufficient for a specific application in order to prevent unwanted movement, then this may be provided with small suitable projections and / or, for example, by sealing lips, beads or sealing surfaces for adhesion to the inner wall of the cylindrical body are held. The pressure therefore decreases in the other Chamber not to. This results in a differential pressure between the two chambers, whereby the molded body is moved from the upper portion of the opening toward the other chamber to the lower portion of the opening. As soon as the shaped body releases the opening, the solvent can flow through the opening from one to the other chamber.
- the shape of the molded article is not particularly limited. This has a suitable three-dimensional shape, so that the opening in the upper portion is closed.
- the molding closes at least the upper portion of the opening to the side of the chamber containing the liquid component.
- an "upper section” means a part of the entire opening with a defined length L1, wherein the opening of the separation stopper is not normally closed over the entire length by the shaped body, but only one through the selected dimensions of the shaped body and / or the opening defined portion of a predetermined length (upper portion), which is followed by another defined portion of the opening (lower portion), is transported through which the molding by applying the external pressure.
- the upper and lower sections may have the same shape and dimension, so that the shaped body releases the opening only after leaving both sections.
- the shaped body preferably has a larger outer diameter than the inner diameter of the opening in the upper portion, so that sufficient pressure is built up between the inner wall and the molded body to close the interface, but movable in the container under the force applied for mixing, as opposed to the separating plug is.
- Exemplary suitable three-dimensional shapes for the molded article are round, egg-shaped, cylindrical shapes, cylindrical shapes with rounded side surfaces, dumbbell, cuboid, conical, truncated conical or conical shapes.
- a suitable shape and / or dimension of the opening in the separating stopper and a suitable shape and / or dimension of the shaped body are thus selected, so that the shaped body releases the opening when pressure is exerted so that the liquid component can flow into the space of the solid component.
- the opening need not be round, like a hole, but may also be oval, any square, such as square or rectangular, or may take any three-dimensional shape.
- the geometric shape and / or dimension of the opening and the shaped body are particularly preferably matched to one another in such a way that the shaped body can be conveyed out from its original position in the upper section of the opening, in which it represents a seal to the liquid component, but the opening can not completely leave in the lower section. It is thus preferred if the shaped body does not penetrate into the chamber containing the solid.
- This may be accomplished, for example, by having the opening in the upper portion to the side of the chamber with the liquid component of a different geometric shape and / or dimension than in the lower portion to the side of the chamber with the solid component.
- the shape of the opening need not be the same over the entire length and / or the inner diameter may change after a certain length.
- the molded body after it has allowed the entry of liquid component to the solid component, the
- Access channel or lower section does not leave and is held there.
- Suitable configurations of the lower portion of the opening and of the shaped body may be selected so that the shaped body can not leave the opening of the separating stopper but sufficient space remains for the liquid component to pass to the solid component.
- the opening of the upper portion to the side of the liquid component chamber has a smaller inner diameter D1 than the lower portion to the side of the solid component chamber having a larger one
- the opening in the upper section has a diameter D1 over a length L1, where L1> D1 and the opening in the upper section extends along the length L1 to the diameter D2 over a length L2 (lower section).
- the opening in the lower portion in the direction of the solids-side end on means to prevent the pushed out of the original position moldings leaving the opening.
- These may be in the lower portion of the opening and thus mounted in the liquid channel pimples, lips, beads or webs, which may be arranged offset and defined spaced apart, for example.
- these means are not limited in the context of the present invention, as long as they prevent the molding from leaving the opening (the lower portion) of the separating stopper, but at the same time do not prevent the passage of liquid component.
- the retention of the molding can be achieved not only on the dimensions of opening and molding or additional holding means, but it can also selectively matched geometries of opening and molding selected and adjusted to each other.
- the opening can be round at one end (upper portion) and closed with a round molding.
- the shaped body then leaves its position and moves in the opening together with the liquid until it reaches, for example, a position, preferably in the direction of the solids side end of the opening where the opening (lower portion) has a shape which does not fit through the molded body and is therefore held.
- This may be, for example, a quadrangular, star-shaped or oval shape, may be star-shaped with sharp or rounded tips or may assume any three-dimensional shape which can be closed liquid-tight at one end (upper portion of the opening) by the molding and at the other end ( lower portion of the opening) allows passage of liquid.
- liquid due to the selected geometric conditions, liquid can continue to flow over into the other chamber almost unhindered, since the shaped body can not completely close the opening.
- the opening may additionally have one, two or more bypass channels, which may be provided in the lower section below the mold body arranged in the separating plug in the opening channel before the actual mixing of the two components.
- These may be one or more recesses in the inner wall in the longitudinal direction, such as a groove or groove. These additionally allow the liquid component to flow around the molding. This allows a particularly fast mixing of both components.
- the mixing can be, for example, the reconstitution of a lyophilisate be. At this step, no other part of the container comes into contact with the liquid or solid component.
- the dual-chamber container further comprises 2 closures, one of which is provided at the solids end and the other at the liquid-side end.
- the closure devices are not limited if the liquid-side closure device allows pressure to be exerted on the liquid so that the shaped article leaves its position in the separating stopper.
- closures may for example be selected from plugs, membranes, discs, in particular sealing discs, optionally with crimp caps made of metal and / or plastic caps.
- the closure at the liquid-side end of the opening is a stopper, which may be made of rubber or rubbery, elastic material, such as plastic.
- the closure at the solids side end of the opening may preferably be a pierceable membrane having an outer cap crimped over the outer edge at the emptying end, for example. This can also be provided a removable disc connected to the outer cover. If the container is a carpule or ampoule, one or both sides of a rubber closure is provided, which can be pierced by means of an injection needle.
- the closures can also be removably attached. In any case, care must be taken to ensure the sterility of the closures.
- the dual-chamber container is a vessel for the separate storage of 2 substances, such.
- a cylindrical ampule or carpule which is intended for single or multiple use.
- the dimensions of the double-chamber container depend on the volume of the solution to be prepared, wherein in human medicine rarely 10 ml are exceeded, so that volumes of up to about 20 ml are sufficient. In exceptional cases and in veterinary application, these volumes can be far exceeded.
- the invention also provides a method for filling the double-chamber container according to the invention, comprising the steps:
- step (1) the introduction of one takes place only under increased pressure slidable Trennstopfens in the cylindrical body having a continuous in the longitudinal axis of the Tren ⁇ stopfens opening having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion of the opening is liquid-tightly closed by a displaceable under mild to moderate pressure molding shaped body.
- This separating plug can preferably be placed centrally in the cylindrical body, but can also be positioned as desired, depending on the application and the desired size of the two chambers.
- step (2) or (3) on the side B, either a solid component is filled or a liquid containing the solid component.
- a lyophilization solution takes place via the open lower end (side B) of the cylindrical body.
- This can be any solution that is to be lyophilized.
- a drug that gets more shelf life through lyophilization For example, a drug that gets more shelf life through lyophilization.
- the lyophilization takes place in a manner known to those skilled in the art, wherein the solvent escapes through the lower open end of the cylindrical body.
- the lyophilizer is commercially available, the process parameters are regulated automatically, for example.
- top and bottom do not mean that the designated part in the container is always up or down, this serves primarily to the unique name of the
- Lyophilization take place a turning of the container, wherein the original name chosen for reasons of clarity remain.
- the lower end or the mouth of the cylindrical body is closed.
- the lower end can also be a
- a closure for example, a plug, a membrane, a disc, in particular a sealing disc, optionally with Cover, such as a cover or crimp, or the like.
- the closure is not particularly limited as long as it provides appropriate tightness, is inert to the medium to be filled in and meets the sterility requirements.
- the lower closure is most preferably a puncturable membrane
- Rubber stopper or elastic disc optionally with a crimp cap. It can also be provided a removable closure. If the container is a carpule or ampoule, then a rubber closure can be provided which can be pierced by means of an injection needle. However, it is also possible to use any other closure known to the person skilled in the art.
- the container is inverted and conveyed to a bottling plant where, in step (4), the reconstitution medium is filled via the open top of the cylindrical body, i. the dissolving or dispersing medium is filled into the upper chamber (side A) above the separating stopper.
- the container is provided with a closure (step (5)).
- a closure Preferably, a plug is used as the top closure.
- any other closure known to the person skilled in the art, provided that this is displaceable under pressure. It is particularly useful if the upper closure at the liquid-side end (side A) represents a stopper, which may be made of plastic or similar materials. Exemplary materials are rubber or rubbery elastic material such as elastomers, thermoplastics, elastomeric thermoplastics, glass and / or metal such as stainless steel or similar materials.
- plugs and / or closure parts are fed and introduced via a washing and sterilizing device or via an autoclave via sterile corridors. After closing the container is discharged from the sterile area; finally, it is labeled and packaged. It goes without saying that in this process all surfaces and devices are designed for aseptic operation.
- the invention further provides a method for mixing two separate components, at least one of which is liquid, in one

- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the invention of an inventive
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment of the invention of a container according to the invention with open "bypass" in the separating stopper
- FIG. 3 shows a detailed representation of a separating plug according to the invention
- Figure 4 is a plan view of an embodiment of a separating plug according to the invention.
- Figure 5 shows various embodiments of a shaped body according to the invention. 1 and 2, the function of a double-chamber container 10 according to the invention with closed and open "bypass" is shown schematically in the separating stopper 40. More specifically, a double-chamber container 10 according to the invention is shown consisting of a cylindrical body 15, for example made of glass, a solids-side closure 20 at the end 5 and a liquid-side closure 60 at the end 70 of the cylindrical body 15.
- the lower closure 20 in the present case is a rubber closure, which may be a pierceable membrane with an outer cap, for example, over the outer edge of the By way of this, a detachable disk connected to the outer cover can be provided.Of course, any other closure known to the person skilled in the art, in particular removable, can also be provided.
- the top closure 60 may be a plug that may be constructed of a suitable resilient and flexible material, such as rubber, plastic, or the like.
- This closure is also not further limited, as long as it allows a pressure on the liquid component in the chamber 50, so that the molding 45 can be carried out of its position in the upper portion 42 a of the opening 42.
- the stopper 40 divides the container 10 into two chambers 30 and 50, the chamber 30 containing a solid component such as a lyophilisate and the other chamber 50 containing a liquid component such as a solid component reconstitution medium.
- the separating plug 40 has an opening 42 which extends in the axis over the entire length of the separating stopper 40. In the upper portion 42a of this opening 42 is the shaped body 45 which closes the two chambers 30 and 50 against each other tightly.
- the liquid located on the side A in the chamber 50 is under If the static friction of the separating stopper 40 on the wall of the cylindrical body 15 for the intended use should not be sufficient, ie, an accidental slipping or movement of the separating plug 40, it can be preferably held with small nubs (not shown) on the inner surface of the cylindrical body 15.
- the pressure on the side B therefore does not increase. This results in a differential pressure between the sides A and B, which results in that the shaped body 45 is moved in the opening 42 to the lower portion 42b in the direction of the side B.
- the access is opened and the liquid component can flow from the side A through the opening 42.
- the opening 42 preferably includes bypass channels 47.
- the opening 42 in the lower portion 42b toward the solids side end of the opening 42 (to side B) has a larger inner diameter D2, so that the liquid component is additionally through the bypass channels and the larger inner diameter of Bottom portion 42 b of the opening 42 can flow to the side B, whereby the mixing of the two components results in a simple manner particularly quickly. For example, the reconstitution of a lyophilisate can take place.
- FIG 3 an open and closed bypass stopper 40 is shown to illustrate the function of the internal "bypass."
- the former 45 In a first position, the former 45 is disposed in the upper portion 42a (mold body 45) and seals the separator stopper 40 in a liquid-tight manner.
- the shaped body 45 In a second position, the shaped body 45 has been pushed out of its defined first position by manual application of force and is located in the lower portion 42b (shaped body 45 ').
- the separating plug 40, the chamber 50 with the liquid component (side A) of the two-chamber system of the chamber 30 with the solid Component (page B) is, on its side surface which seals to the wall of the cylindrical body 15, preferably designed as a conventional separating plug.
- the internal "bypass" which in the present invention is referred to as an opening which divides into an upper and a lower section, is realized, for example achieved by an upper section 42a starting on side A, over a length L1 having the diameter D1 (with L1> D1) .
- This upper portion 42a is closed by a shaped body 45 of diameter DK and DK> D1, which is exemplified as a sphere in Figure 3.
- the shaped body 45 can also be designed as a cylinder or as a cylinder with ball-like shell shape or dumbbell-shaped with 2 sealing surfaces, as exemplified in Figure 5.
- the diameter of the upper portion 42a widens from D1 to the lower portion 42b with a diameter D2 (with D2> D1 and L2> DK). This is particularly useful in the present case, so that the frictional forces on the molded body 45 decrease so much that this despite pressure equalization between the sides A and B, the opening 42 at the transition from D1 to D2 so far releases that the liquid component of page A to page B can flow.
