Claim Text:
1. A system for filling a blow-fill-seal (BFS) container comprising: a first fluid circuit constructed to selectively deliver a purge fluid to an open BFS container; a second fluid circuit constructed to selectively deliver a product to the open BFS container; a third fluid circuit having a vent line in fluid communication with the open BFS container and to ambient, a second connection section constructed to couple the second fluid circuit to a product supply, a third connection section constructed to couple the third fluid circuit to a ventilation port, and a first connection section through which the second fluid circuit extends axially coupled between the second connection section and the third connection section, wherein the third fluid circuit is constructed to direct a bulk fluid comprising at least the purge fluid from the BFS container when the purge fluid is introduced into the BFS container, and wherein the second circuit selectively delivers product when the first fluid circuit selectively does not deliver the purge fluid and wherein the second circuit selectively does not deliver product when the first circuit selectively delivers the purge fluid.
