Patent ID: 7877849

Claim:
A method of disassembling needle systems comprising the steps of: providing a container system including a receptacle and a lid, the lid being configured and dimensioned for engagement with the receptacle and including at least one aperture configured and dimensioned for engagement with a first needle system having a first needle configuration; releasably connecting at least one adapter to the at least one aperture in the lid such that relative movement between the at least one adapter and the lid is inhibited, whereby connection of the at least one adapter to the at least one aperture modifies the configuration of the at least one aperture to facilitate engagement with a second needle system having a second, different needle configuration; inserting the second needle system into the at least one adapter such that relative rotation between the second needle system and the at least one adapter is inhibited; and rotating the second needle system with respect to the at least one adapter to thereby disassemble the second needle system.
