Patent ID: 8671994

Claim:
An apparatus for filling a syringe with fluid, said apparatus comprising: a fluid container having a container opening; a housing; a fluid reservoir located within said housing, said fluid reservoir comprising a post extending therein to be received by said container opening; said fluid reservoir having a reservoir opening arranged to directly and matingly receive said container opening in a fluid tight manner; said housing further comprising a port comprising an opening in fluid communication with said reservoir, said port being arranged to directly matingly receive said syringe in a fluid tight manner; and sealing means comprising a plug located within said opening of said port for sealing said port, said sealing means selectively allowing fluid to flow from said reservoir to said syringe, said plug capable of moving from a first normally biased, non-mated position within said opening of said port to a second mated position when said syringe and said port are directly mated with one another, said plug preventing fluid from flowing out of said port in said first non-mated position, said sealing means allowing fluid to pass through said port in said second mated position; means for indicating a predetermined fluid level within said reservoir; and means for determining the fluid level within said reservoir, said means for determining the fluid level located at least substantially within said reservoir; whereby said plug being capable of moving back to said first non-mated position when said syringe removed from said port.
