Abstract:
1. A filling device for filling a multiple syringe from at least two ampules, the filling device comprising: a base body delimiting at least a first and a second cavity, each of the cavities having a proximal end and a distal end, each of the cavities defining a longitudinal direction and having at its distal end a removal opening, for removal of a fluid from the cavity; a first port communicating with the removal opening of the first cavity, and a second port communicating with the removal opening of the second cavity, the first and the second port being configured to interact with complementary connecting pieces of a multiple syringe; and a breaking unit, which is configured to break a first ampule disposed in the first cavity and a second ampule disposed in the second cavity simultaneously or successively by way of a single actuating movement, wherein the breaking unit comprises an actuating element which is movable relative to the base body and which is configured to act upon the ampules disposed in the cavities by way of a single movement of the actuating element along an actuating direction, wherein the actuating element is adapted to be advanced into the cavities along an actuating direction running obliquely or transversely to the longitudinal direction in order to apply a force component, acting perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, to a distal end region of each of the ampules, and wherein the actuating element comprises at least two mutually connected, parallelly arranged breaking structures, which are adapted to be advanced into the cavities through lateral openings of the base body.
