PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR DOSING PHARMACEUTICAL AGENTS
First Claim
1. Process for producing a dosage of a pharmaceutical agent with enhanced accuracy, comprising the steps of:
- producing a first component in batches,determining at least one significant value of the first components of each batch on a random-sample basis and determining at least one decisively significant value for all first components of the respective batch therefrom,providing a plurality of second components and dividing the second components into groups which are distinguished from each other by at least one essential value of the second component,selecting a batch of first components based on a respective said at least one decisively significant value which is suitable for the purpose is selected,combining each first component of the selected batch with a second component of a group that, based on the at least one decisively significant value of the selected batch, is suitable for the selected batch for purposes of optimizing production of a sealing action between the first and second components for improving the dosing accuracy by preventing air from passing therebetween, andarranging at least the first and the second component so that tightly engage or adjoin one another in a manner enabling the first and second components to be movable relative to one another for production of a dose of the pharmaceutical agent.

Abstract
A process and a device for dosing a pharmaceutical agent, preferably a liquid, are proposed. To achieve an enhanced dosing accuracy, a first component that is produced in batches, such as a shaped seal, is combined with a second component, such as a guide pipe selected from a suitable group guide pipes, wherein the suitable group of second components is selected based on at least one decisively significant value of the respective batch first components and is distinguished by an essential value of the second component which will optimize the sealing between the first and second components.

18. Device for administration of a pharmaceutical agent with improved dosing accuracy, comprising:
-
a guide pipe, a piston, a shaped seal for sealing between guide pipe and piston, and a recess for receiving the shaped seal, wherein the shaped seal has been selected from a specific batch of shaped seals based on at least one decisively significant value of the batch and is combined with a guide pipe of a suitable group of the guide pipes which has been selected from several groups of guide pipes such that the recess is fill up by the shaped seal to a set fill level to optimize sealing between the shaped seal and the guide pipe for enhancing the dosing accuracy by preventing leakage of air therebetween. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
