Abstract

See full text

A syringe assembly includes a substantially cylindrical syringe barrel and a plunger stopper. Distal portions on the plunger stopper are configured to permit outflow of vapor from the syringe barrel during a lyophilization process. Proximal portions of the plunger stopper are dimensioned to engage the syringe barrel in sliding fluid-tight engagement. Liquid medication in the chamber is lyophilized and a vacuum is applied to the syringe barrel after lyophilization. The plunger stopper then is urged distally into sealing engagement with the syringe barrel. A plunger rod can be engaged with the plunger stopper. The tip cap is then removed and a diluent is drawn into the chamber by moving the plunger rod and the plunger stopper in a proximal direction. The syringe assembly then can be used in the standard manner.
