Abstract

Device containers, such as therapeutic kit containers, are disclosed. In one embodiment, a device container comprises a first member configured to releasably hold a syringe barrel, a second member configured to releasably hold a vial, wherein the second member is coupled to the first member by a first hinge, and a third member configured to releasably hold a vial adapter, wherein the third member is coupled to the second member by a second hinge.

Core Innovation

The invention describes a hinged, three-member therapeutic kit container that moves between closed and open configurations. In the open configuration, the outer surfaces of the first, second, and third members lie flat on a preparation surface. The container holds a syringe barrel and plunger rod, retains a vial upright by its base in a cylindrical sleeve, and retains a vial adapter with slots and guides.

The container arrangement supports preparation of a syringe assembly while the vial remains secured, including coupling the vial adapter to the vial and connecting the syringe assembly to the adapter for extraction of therapeutic liquid. The supplied partial content does not include the background section, so the problem identified in that section is not explicitly described in patent.

Claims Coverage

The supplied relevant claims identify one independent claim, claim 1. Its inventive features concern the three-member container configuration and the preparation of a syringe assembly using a vial retained by the container.

Claim 1 covers a method using a three-member container to hold and position the vial, adapter, and syringe components while preparing a syringe assembly for therapeutic liquid.
