Abstract
A drug delivery sterilization system includes a housing defining at least one receptacle, a container assembly having first and second ends, an elongated portion extending therebetween, and an electron beam or x-ray generator disposed near the housing. The container assembly includes a container having a container contact region at the second end and an inner volume to contain a medicament, a seal member having a seal member contact region to form a sealing interface with the container contact region, and a coupling device adapted to sealingly couple the seal member to the container. The container assembly is at least partially disposed in the receptacle such that the second end of the container is exposed through the housing. The electron beam or x-ray generator generates a sterilizing beam that penetrates the seal member to sterilize the sealing interface.
