Abstract
A system for converting a medicament from a storage form to an administrable form comprises an evacuted medicament container, a container for a liquid, and means in the form of a hollow needle for establishing communication between said containers and thereby causing liquid to be drawn by suction from the liquid container to the medicament container. By establishing communication between an evacuated container and an unevacuated container, there is an instant, reliable and controlled addition of liquid to the medicament from the liquid container. The system has particular application to lyophilised medicaments.
