ABSTRACT:
In a system and method for packaging sensitive materials, such as parenteral medications, the materials are reliably packaged by being inserted into an uncontaminated reservoir without being contaminated during such packaging. The reservoir is a component of a container assembly that also includes an uncontaminated sleeve and an uncontaminated film. There is an opening at the top of the reservoir. A lower portion of the sleeve extends from the reservoir opening and an upper portion of the sleeve is sealed by the film. The container assembly is moved into an uncontaminated filling chamber within a confined structure; whereupon the film is penetrated to break the seal and thereby open a passage through the sleeve to the reservoir opening. While the container assembly is still within the filling chamber the sensitive material is inserted into the reservoir.
