Patent ID: 8216207

Claim:
A system for mixing a medicament in a first container with a fluid in a second container, comprising: a first container defining an opening and an internal cavity fluidly connected to said opening; a stopper positioned within said opening defined by said first container, said stopper fluidly sealing said internal cavity defined by said first container from an external environment of said first container; a body member positioned around at least a portion of said first container, said body member comprising a first mating member extending radially therefrom; a second container defining an internal cavity, a port housing connected to said second container, said port housing defining a first opening at a proximal end thereof for receiving said first container, said port housing defining a second opening at a distal end thereof, wherein a moveable plug seals said second opening defined by said port housing; a second mating member positioned within an interior cavity defined by said port housing, said second mating member constructed to engage said first mating member when said first container is inserted into said first opening of said port housing; and an actuator disposed within said interior cavity of said port housing, said actuator comprising a plurality of sidewall members extending axially toward said first opening defined by said port housing, said plurality of sidewall members defining one or more openings therebetween, said sidewall members of said actuator defining a central cavity, said actuator constructed to move said stopper during activation of said system from a first position in which it fluidly seals said first container to a second position in which it is located in said internal cavity defined by said first container, wherein said moveable plug comprises a body portion and a plurality of legs extending from said body portion, and wherein said first container is constructed to engage said legs of said plug during activation of said system to disengage said plug from said second opening of said port housing, thereby providing fluid communication between said first container and said second container.
