Two new prefilled drug delivery devices - one for chronic diseases and another for vaccination are introduced at Technovation 2015 by BD Medical - Pharmaceutical Systems.
BD Neopak is a single-dose, ready-to-use glass prefillable syringe system. It is an advanced version of normal prefillable syringe, which offers additional benefits of prefillable syringe system such as lesser injection time, lessor errors, reduced contamination and much better productivity to patients and clinicians. BD Uniject SCF (Sterile, Clean and ready to Fill) is a single-use prefilled auto disable injection system that protects against inappropriate needle reuse. It is a tamper roof system, which can be used by healthcare workers for great coverage of outreach programs such as mass immunization.
Both forms of drug delivery system assist in the process of administering pharmaceutical compounds to achieve desired effect far more quickly and effectively.
Currently prefilled drug delivery systems are considered to be the preferred mode of administering more than 50 injectable drugs. The risk of contamination and dosage error can be eliminated while using prefillable syringes. It is less time consuming and convenient for doctors, physicians and healthcare workers to use.
Dr S.G. Kasi, Principal Investigator, Time & Motion Study said, "This is a first kind of study done in India which demonstrates the superiority of prefillables (PFS) over single and multi-dose vials in terms of time taken for one vaccination, vaccine wastage, and errors occurring during vaccination. The advantages of the PFS have been acknowledged by the CDC, which now recommends it as the "preferred" system of vaccine administration."
