Abstract:
A method for transferring injectable fluids from a storage vial to a needleless syringe or the like where the syringe is configured with a first coupler and an opening which communicates within an interior cylindrical hollow of the syringe so that fluid passes by the first coupler through the opening and into the cylindrical hollow and passes fluid into the syringe, the steps including:providing a vial which has been filled with a fluid, which has an outlet including a second coupler defining the outlet and which has been sealed by occluding the second coupler outlet with an integrally formed cap adjacent the outlet with a scoreline between the outlet and the cap, subsequently removing the cap, wedging the first coupler of the syringe and said second coupler of said vial, respectively into complemental, fluid-tight locking engagement so that the opening of said vial tightly overlies the opening of the syringe, and transferring the contents of the vial to the syringe while the vial collapses.
