An apparatus for separately storing a first component, such as a drug and for mixing this first component with a second component, such as a sterilized diluent, to form a beneficial agent which can be delivered to a patient from the container (16) containing the second component. The device includes novel means for interconnecting a container, such as a glass vial (12) containing a first component, such as a drug, with a second container (16) such as a flexible bag containing the second component such as a parenteral liquid and then for mixing the components under sterile conditions. |
