Description
DOUBLE PUSH INJECTION DEVICE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a medical device and more particularly, relates to a reconstitution and injection system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
As is well known in the art, many drugs are desirably stored as two separate components. The components are typically a dry component and a diluent therefore, although two liquid components could also be utilized. The advantages of storing one of the components in a dry form is that a greater shelf life is provided. Ideally, the drug and a diluent are mixed immediately prior to injection.
Traditionally, a syringe is filled manually by aspirating a liquid pharmaceutical component from a pharmaceutical vial having a neck with a penetrable closure into the syringe through a needle that penetrates the penetrable closure. The method of manually filling the syringe typically includes the steps of drawing air into the body of the syringe by pulling the syringe's plunger away from the needle end of the syringe until the volume of air in the body approximately equals the volume of pharmaceutical component to be loaded into the syringe, carefully aligning the needle with the vial's penetrable closure and inserting the needle through the penetrable closure into the vial, inverting the vial and forcing from the body of the syringe into the vial by advancing the syringe's plunger, withdrawing the plunger to draw out the desired volume of the pharmaceutical component into the syringe, and removing the needle from the vial.
This method suffers from various disadvantages. Thus, the user is exposed to the unprotected needle tip which can result in an accidental stabbing or pricking of the user.
Also, if the user wishes to draw a large volume of the pharmaceutical component into the syringe, an equal volume of air must be forced into the vial. This can increase the pressure in the pharmaceutical vial to the point where the pharmaceutical component may spray through the puncture point made by the needle in the penetrable seal and onto the user. Naturally, this could be extremely dangerous if the pharmaceutical component is unsafe to the user such as various known toxic oncology pharmaceuticals. Still further, the sterility of the needle may be compromised during the process of transferring the pharmaceutical component from the vial to the syringe.
As mentioned above, many pharmaceutical preparations must be distributed and stored as two or more separate components— this would include arrangements such as a solid lyophilized component and a liquid diluent. The two components are mixed just prior to administration. In the case of a solid and a liquid component, the solid component is reconstituted by providing a first solid component package in a pharmaceutical vial which has a neck closed by a penetrable closure. Subsequently, the second liquid component is provided in a syringe wherein the second liquid component (diluent) is injected into the vial through the penetrable closure. A swirling or shaking motion is then used to dissolve, dilute or suspend the first solid component in the diluent and then the mixture is aspirated back into the syringe. Naturally, the two or more components could also be a liquid and require mixing just prior to administration.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a reconstitution and injection system wherein both the reconstitution and injection can be done using the same device.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a
reconstitution and injection system comprising a housing having a front end and a rear end, a distal cartridge containing a first substance, the distal cartridge being located within the housing, the distal cartridge having a first cartridge plunger and a first cartridge septum, a proximal cartridge containing a second substance, the proximal cartridge being located within the housing rearwardly of the distal cartridge, the proximal cartridge having a second cartridge plunger and a second cartridge septum, a first needle hub intermediate the distal and proximal cartridges, a first needle being mounted within the first needle hub, the first needle having first and second piercing ends, a second needle hub located forwardly of the distal cartridge, a second needle mounted in the second needle hub, the second needle having first and second piercing ends, a first biasing member mounted within the housing, the first biasing member being located forwardly of the distal cartridge and being operative to bias the distal cartridge rearwardly, and a plunger rod assembly securable to the second cartridge plunger.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the plunger rod assembly will include an inner plunger rod and an outer plunger rod. Preferably, the inner plunger rod and outer plunger rod are telescopically constructed with a biasing spring acting to bias the inner plunger rod outwardly of the outer plunger rod. Provision may also be made for locking the inner plunger rod and outer plunger rod together when the inner plunger rod extends outwardly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated a reconstitution and injection system which is generally designated by reference numeral 10.
Reconstitution injection system 10 includes a housing side wall 12 which is generally of a cylindrical configuration along with a front end wall 14 and a rear end wall 16. For purposes of this application, distal means the end used for injection while proximal means
the opposite end or the end where a pushing force is applied. Front end wall 14 has a nose 18 formed thereon through which a passageway extends. It will be noted that there is also provided an enlarged portion 20 of housing wall 12 proximate front wall 14. Enlarged portion 20 forms an abutment wall 22. A window 15 provides visual access to the interior.
Mounted internally of housing wall 12 is a proximal container or cartridge 24 which is of a generally cylindrical configuration and includes a neck portion 26. Proximal container 24 also has a plunger 28 located at the proximal end thereof and a septum 30 covering the container opening. A diluent 35 is contained in cartridge 24.
A distal container or cartridge 32 is situated forwardly of proximal cartridge 24 and also has a septum 34 and a plunger 36. It will be noted that the side wall defining distal container 32 extends substantially past plunger 36 such that proximal cartridge 24 is partially located within the wall of distal cartridge 32.
Mounted intermediate of proximal cartridge 24 and distal cartridge 32 is a first needle hub 38 which includes a first needle 40 mounted therein. First needle 40 has a first piercing end 42 and a second piercing end 44.
Situated forwardly of proximal cartridge 24 is a second needle hub 46 containing a second needle 48. Second needle 48 has a first piercing end 50 and a second or injection end 52. Second needle hub 46 also includes a wall 47 which extends about the wall defining distal cartridge 32 and partially about proximal cartridge 24.
A spring 54 is mounted within housing wall 12 forwardly of second needle hub 46 and is biased against second needle hub 46 and front end wall 14.
For injection purposes and ease of handling, there are provided finger flanges 56 in a conventional manner.
The reconstitution and injection system 10 also includes an outer plunger rod 58 which is screwthreadedly engaged with plunger 28 and an inner plunger rod 60 which is mounted inwardly of outer plunger rod 58 and releasably retained therein. A spring 62 is mounted interiorly of outer plunger rod 58 and biases against inner plunger rod 60.
As shown in Figures 1C, ICC, ID and 1DD, pressure on plunger rods 58, 60 as shown by arrow 64 will cause the movement of plunger 28 such that first needle 40 will pierce plunger 36 of distal container 32 and septum 30 of proximal cartridge 24. This will cause the diluent 35 within proximal cartridge 24 to transfer to distal cartridge 32. If desired, the device may be shaken to ensure proper reconstitution to form mixture 55.
Continued pressure on plunger 28, as shown in Figure IE, will cause compression of spring 54 and permit the piercing of septum 34 by first piercing end 50 of second needle 48. Second end 52 will then extend exteriorly of the housing wall 20 through nose 18.
At this point in time, inner plunger rod 60 may be released from its inner engagement with outer plunger rod 58. Spring 62 will then bias inner plunger rod 60 outwardly of outer plunger rod 58 as illustrated by arrow 66 in Figure IF. In so doing, inner plunger rod 60 has protrusions 68 which will lock with corresponding recesses formed in outer plunger rod 58. The device is now ready for injection as shown in Figure 1G.
Following injection of mixture 55, release of pressure on inner plunger rod 60 will permit spring 54 to act on second container 32 to cause the retraction of needle 48 within housing 12. One may then safely dispose of the device.
As will be seen from the above, the reconstitution and injection system provides an arrangement wherein the drug and the diluent can be mixed immediately prior to injection and injected from the same assembly. The spring forces the retraction of the needle so that it
is safely contained within the assembly following injection.
