A container for accommodating pharmaceutical compositions, which is installable in a medical device, is provided. The container includes a hollow cylindrical body having an open end and a dead end opposite to the open end. The dead end is closed by a bottom portion. The hollow cylindrical body and the bottom portion are formed integrally and of the same material. The bottom portion transitions into the hollow cylindrical body via a curved heel that is defined by an outer radius r, an inner radius rand a thickness din a center portion of the curved heel, wherein the following condition is fulfilled: r+d−r>0 mm.

Dead end container and container assembly with dead end container

A charge device is provided that includes a charge barrel having a charge. The charge barrel has an exit aperture and a flexible positioning device at the exit aperture. The charge is located inside the charge barrel. The charge barrel is adapted and arranged so that the charge is able to exit the charge barrel via the exit aperture.

Charge devices having positioning devices and processes for closing receptacles with venting

Container assemblies for accommodating pharmaceutical compositions are provided. The container assembly includes a container and a plunger. The container has a hollow cylindrical body with an open end and a closed end, which is closed by a bottom portion. The hollow cylindrical body has a length (L), an outer diameter (DO), and an inner diameter with a length to outer diameter ratio between 3:1 and 15:1. The hollow cylindrical body and the bottom portion are formed integrally and of the same material, which is a glass or polymer material. The container has an inner surface with an average Zn-leachability of 0.00085 μg/cmor less. The plunger is inside the hollow cylindrical body at the open end, is pierceable by a cannula, and is slidable relative to the hollow cylindrical body from the open end towards the closed end.

Containers having closed ends, container assemblies and medical devices having such containers

A device is provided that accommodates elongate receptacles and charges. The device includes a superior surface, a first positioning device, a detaining device, and either a pusher or a second positioning device. The first positioning device is adapted and arranged to accommodate a pairing of a charge and a corresponding elongate receptacle. The pusher is moveable along a direction towards the superior surface to introduce the charge into the elongate receptacle. The second positioning device accommodates the pusher with the second positioning device and the pusher being moveable along the direction towards the superior surface to introduce the charge into the elongate receptacle. The detaining device limits the extent of movement of the pusher towards the superior surface.
