Abstract
O A sterile package for concentrated compositions is provided which composition is adapted to be diluted under sterile conditions for subsequent administration to a patient. The package is provided with an outlet and an inlet having a filter integrally formed therewith which retains pyrogen and microorganisms so that diluting liquid can be introduced into the package without contaminating the package contents.
Description
- This invention relates to an apparatus for storing a sterile therapeutic preparation and for subsequently delivering the therapeutic preparation to a patient.
- Prior to the present invention, sterile concentrated therapeutic preparations have been stored in a hermetically sealed container, typically a thermoplastic, flexible, transparent container. It is desirable to utilize a system including a sterile package containing a concentrate which is subsequently to be diluted just prior to administration in order to avoid the cost and other disadvantages of storing and shipping large volumes and weights of water. The concentrated therapeutic preparations are admixed with a sterile liquid such as sterile and pyrogen-free water or saline, which accounts for most of the weight and bulk of the final product. Typical concentrated compositions which are packaged and subsequently administered to a patient in this manner include intravenous solutions, peritoneal dialysis solutions, irrigation solutions or the like which contain for example amino acids, sugars such as dextrose or glucose, minerals including electrolytes, vitamins or mixtures thereof. The connecting means between the source of the diluting liquid and the receptacle containing the concentrate has always been associated with a relatively high risk of contamination. This is due primarily to the fact that during connection of the source of pyrogen-free diluting liquid to the container, the contents of the container are exposed to the atmosphere and the connector elements are exposed to the external environment which can lead to non-sterile conditions within the container. Unfortunately, when utilizing presently available containers for such concentrates, no means are provided for alerting the user of the container of a change in sterile conditions within the container after its contents are diluted.
concentrates, no means are diluted. - It would be desirable to provide a packaging means for concentrate compositions which are subsequently diluted and administered to a patient which means assures that the concentrate does not become contaminated during the dilution step. Furthermore, it would be desirable to provide such a package which is applicable for a wide variety of concentrate compositions including solid compositions or liquid compositions.
- In accordance with this invention, a package for a concentrated composition adapted to be diluted and subsequently administered to a patient is provided which package includes a container for the concentrated composition, an inlet means for the package which includes a sterilizing filter integrally formed therewith and an outlet means which permits delivery of the diluted composition to the patient. The concentrate is introduced into or formed within the package and the package and concentrate then are sterilized by any convenient means while the interior of the package and the concentrate are sealed_from the outside atmosphere. When the concentrate is to be diluted prior to administration, sterilized and pyrogen-free dilution liquid is introduced into the package through the sterilizing filter, and the flow path downstream of the filter can then be sealed. Thereafter the diluted composition is removed from the package for administration to the patient through the outlet.

- Fig. 2 is a side view of the package of this invention containing a pod which in turn contains concentrate.
- Fig. 3 is a alternative structure of the inlet used with the package of this invention.
- Fig. 4 illustrates means for testing the integrity for the sterilizing filter on the package of this invention.
- The concentrated composition and the interior of the container are sterilized in order to render them free of microorganisms. The concentrated composition is introduced into the container and thereafter the container contents as well as the container interior are sterilized such as with ionizing radiation, ethylene oxide or heat. The container is formed of a flexible transparent plastic composition which is moisture proof and impermeable to microorganisms. Suitable polymeric materials include polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terphthalate or the like. The contents of the container can be introduced therein by any convenient means such as by forming the container about the concentrated composition or by introducing the concentrated composition through an opening which subsequently serves as the outlet for the diluted composition or by any other convenient means. In one embodiment of this invention, the concentrated composition can be sealed, under sterile conditions, within a pod having a frangible portion which permits removal of the concentrated composition from the pod into the interior of the container so that it can be admixed with diluting liquid within the container.
- Regardless of the method for filling the container or for sterilizing the container and its contents, the container must be provided with an inlet means which includes a sterile filter integrally formed therewith and which is positioned so that any diluting liquid subsequently introduced into the container must pass through the filter before entering the container so that the filter retains pyrogens and microorganisms. This filter is formed intergrately with the container so that the entire structure of this invention is of unitary structure.
- Referring to Figure 1, the container of this invention 10 includes a flexible
plastic bag 12, aninlet 14 and anoutlet 16. Thebag 12 contains the concentrate composition 18 which, together with the interior of thebag 12, is presterilized so that the bag contents are pyrogen-free and free of microorganisms. When sterilization is effected with a gas such as ethylene oxide, the gas can be introduced throughinlet 14 or throughoutlet 16 prior to sealing it withseal 20. When utilizing sterilizing radiation, theseal 20 can be made prior to sterilization. Theoutlet 16 also includes aseal 20 in order to prevent intrusion of the outside atmosphere into thebag 12 after sterilization. Theinlet 14 includes amicroporous filter 22, suitably supported within ahousing 24 whichmicroporous filter 22 prevents passage of microorganisms or pyrogen therethrough. A suitable filter construction, for example, is marketed by Millipore Corporation under the trademark, MillexR. Theconduit 26 to the filter housing is designed to permit passage of diluting liquid through thefilter 22 and into thebag 12 in order to dilute the concentrated composition 18. Afrangible seal 27 may be provided to keep the concentrate 18 from leaking back throughfilter 22. - Referring to Figure 2, the
bag 12 is provided with aninlet 14 which in turn is connected to afilter holder 24 that includes a supportedfilter 22 and to which is attachedconduit 26. The interior of thebag 12 is presterilized as is thepod 28 which contains the concentrate. Thepod 28 can be made of any conveniently frangible material which does not contaminate the concentrate such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or other thermoplastic polymer. The pod can be easily be broken at eitherneck 30 and/or 32 by manually grasping theknobs bag 12. Thebag 12 also is provided with anoutlet 16 which contains aseal 20. - Referring to Figure 3, in one aspect of this invention, the
inlet 26 can be provided with aseal 38 such as a heat seal in order to provide further protection against contamination of the contents of thebag 12 prior to administering the contents to a patient. Theseal 38 is adapted to be opened under the force of incoming diluting liquid to thebag 12 without rupturing the walls ofinlet 26. - Referring to Figure 4, means for testing the integrity and sterility of the sterile package of this invention after dilution is shown. Diluent liquid is passed into plastic bag portion through
conduit 37,filter 22 andinlet 26 when three-way valve 40 is open to permit communication betweenconduit 38 andinlet 26 whilevalve 42 is closed. When thebag 12 is filled with diluent liquid to the desired level, valve 40 is positioned to permit pressurized gas to pass fromconduit 46 intoconduit 44 whenvalve 42 is open. Apressure sensor 47 is provided to monitor pressure. Gas pressure inconduit 44 and onfilter 22 is controlled so that gas does not penetrate theinlet filter 22 because of surface tension effects whenconduit 46 andconduit 44 are in communication. The pressurized gas displaces the liquid inconduit 44 andinlet 14. Thevalve 42 then is shut off while preventing communication betweenconduit 37 and eitherconduit 46 orconduit 44. The gas pressure decay then is monitored by means ofpressure sensor 47. If the pressure decay rate is small, thefilter 22 is intact. If the pressure decay rate is high, thefilter 22 has a leak or fluid bypass exists. The three-way valve 40 then is closed andconduit 44 is disconnected from the housing forfilter 22.
