Sterile Assembled Liquid Medicament Dosage Control And Delivery Device
First Claim
1. A liquid medicament dispenser comprising:
- a housing and a pump carried by the housing;
a reservoir applied to the housing and containing a sterile liquid medicament;
a sterile tubing set routed through the pump;
a sterile administration line carried outside of the housing and coupled aseptically to the sterile tubing set in fluid communication;
an aseptic connector coupled to the reservoir and the sterile tubing set and changeable from a storage state to a use state;
in the storage state of the aseptic connector, the aseptic connector prevents the liquid medicament in the reservoir from moving to the sterile tubing set; and
in the use state of the aseptic connector, the aseptic connector defines a sterile passageway for the flow of the liquid medicament from the reservoir to the sterile tubing set.

Abstract
A liquid medicament dispenser includes a housing and a pump carried by the housing, a reservoir applied to the housing and containing a pre-filled sterile liquid medicament, a sterile tubing set routed through the pump, a sterile administration line carried outside of the housing and coupled aseptically to the sterile tubing set in fluid communication, and an aseptic connector coupled to the reservoir and the sterile tubing set and changeable from a storage state to a use state. In the storage state, the aseptic connector prevents the liquid medicament in the reservoir from moving to the sterile tubing set. In the use state of the aseptic connector, the aseptic connector defines a sterile passageway for the flow of the liquid medicament from the reservoir to the sterile tubing set.

19. A liquid medicament dispenser comprising:
-
a housing and a pump carried by the housing; a reservoir mounted in the housing and containing a liquid medicament; an administration line applied to and carried outside of the housing; a tubing set applied to the housing and connected to the sterile administration line; an aseptic connector disposed between the reservoir and the tubing set and connecting the reservoir to the tubing set; and a barrier carried by the aseptic connector and configured, upon removal from the aseptic connector, to couple the reservoir and the tubing set in fluid communication. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A liquid medicament dispenser comprising:
-
a housing, a pump carried by the housing, and a sterile fluid communication path assembled in the housing; the sterile fluid communication path includes a reservoir, an aseptic connector, and a tubing set; the reservoir is filled with a liquid medicament and sterilized prior to being assembled into the housing; the tubing set is sterilized separate from the reservoir prior to being assembled into the housing; and the aseptic connector assembly connects the reservoir and the tubing set. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. A method of assembling a liquid medicament dispenser, comprising the steps of:
-
providing a housing, a reservoir, a tubing set, an administration line, an aseptic connector separated into upstream and downstream portions, and a pump; coupling the upstream portion of the aseptic connector to the reservoir; filling the reservoir with a liquid medicament; coupling the downstream portion of the aseptic connector to the tubing set; sterilizing together the reservoir and the upstream portion of the aseptic connector; sterilizing together the downstream portion of the aseptic connector, the tubing set, and the administration line independently from the step of sterilizing together the reservoir and the upstream portion of the aseptic connector; connecting the upstream portion of the aseptic connector to the downstream portion of the aseptic connector; mounting the reservoir and the pump in the housing; and routing the tubing set in the housing, around the pump, and through an outlet in the housing, so that the administration line extends outside of the housing. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)
