1. A fluid container assembly for use with a hypodermic syringe having a piercing cannula, said container assembly comprising:
- (a) a container having a fluid chamber with first and second open ends;
(b) pierceable means for sealably closing one of said first and second open ends of said container, said pierceable means being pierceable by the piercing cannula of the syringe;
(c) a plunger telescopically movable within said container by fluid pressure from a first location proximate said pierceable means to a second, spaced-apart location; and
(d) an outer casing surrounding said container, said casing having first and second ends, one of said first and second ends being closed by a closure cap and the other of said first and second ends being closed by closure assembly comprising a vent patch and a tear away closure cap.

Abstract
A fluid container assembly which can be asceptically filled in the field with selected fluids and one which is specially designed for sterile coupling and use with fluid dispensing and delivery devices of the character that embody stored energy sources such as compressible cellular masses and distendable elastomeric membranes that form, in conjunction with a cooperating base, fluid chambers for containing the fluid to be dispensed.
