Said vial 20 is defined by a cylindrical portion 20a having a first end sealed end 20b and a second end namely mouth opened end 20c (not shown) suitable formed to accept conventional fluid seal means 22 restrained thereon with conventional seal retention means 24. Syringe 30 comprises, a stationery syringe barrel 32, on which is mounted rigidly a syringe needle 34 and a movable syringe plunger 36. Syringe barrel 32 is defined by a cylindrical portion 32b, a sealed end 32c that includes an opening (not shown) formed to accept saleably the first end 34c of syringe needle 34, a second end 32d on which is attached fixedly an external ring 32a provided with an opening (not shown) to accept said syringe plunger 36 for a sealable reciprocate movement therein. Syringe plunger 36 is defined by a cylindrical body 36b having a first sealed end 36c and a second end 36d on which is attached fixedly an external ring 36a. Syringe needle 34 is a cylindrical tube 34b having said first opened end 34c mounted sealably on said syringe barrel portion 32c and a second end 34a being beveled and sharp, suitable to penetrate said fluid sealing means 22 of vial 20 for the purposes of injecting air in said vial 20 and imbibing a liquid fluid 26 therefrom and store it in the syringe chamber 38.

A description will now follow herein the method employed to imbibing a liquid fluid 26 from the vial 20 and store in into syringe chamber 38. The method requires the cooperation of both human hands, (not shown), one hand to hold the vial 20 and the other hand to operate the syringe 30. As a first step, the plunger end 36c is retrieved from the first position 40 to second assigned position 42 in order to fill the syringe chamber 38 with air. Thereafter, the syringe 30 thrust against the vial 20 until the syringe needle end 34a penetrate the seal 22 and the opening fully exposed to liquid fluid 36 residing therein. At this point, the plunger 36 thrusted from the second position 42 in to first position 40 to fully inject the air from the syringe chamber 38 into the vial 20 in order to create a pressure equilibrium. Once the air fully injected in the vial 20, the plunger 36 is retrieved from the first position 40 in to the second assigned position 42 to fill the syringe chamber 38 with the liquid fluid 26. At this point the syringe 30 now can be retrieve to be used for a medical treatment.

The above conventional imbibe process, requires lengthy time, hand stability, and special attention to accuracy to in order to avoid unintended medical events. Events such as, excessive syringe needle penetration into vial leading into medical fluid loose, syringe needle misalignment which can lead to personnel injures resulting to infections with legal implications. Inaccurate fluid volume stored in the syringe chamber that can lead to underdose or underdose resulting to lose of life and legal implications.

The present patent application will at best will attempt to addressed the above mentioned unintended medical events.

Said vial carrier 150a supported in mounted relation on said interchangeable syringe carrier 150b so as to be selectively movable in a power pull manner and in power retraction manner to imbibe and inject air and imbibe fluid. Said interchangeable vial carrier 150a being movable in power pull manner between an inactive syringe needle disengaging mode when the center of rod 174 is in line with the center 158a of the semi-cylindrical opening of stadium like opening 158 and an active air inject and fluid imbibe syringe needle engaging mode when the center of rod 174 is in line with the center 158a of the semi-cylindrical opening of stadium like opening 158. Said interchangeable vial carrier 150a being movable in the power pull manner between an inactive syringe needle disengaging mode and an active syringe needle engaging mode by virtue of a dynamic pull force imparted on said interchangeable vial carrier 150a. Said dynamic pull engaging force being imparted to interchangeable vial carrier being derived from a dynamic pull impartible by a human finger. Said interchangeable vial carrier 150a being movable in the power retraction manner between an active syringe needle engaging mode and an inactive syringe needle disengaging mode by virtue of a dynamic thrust force. Said dynamic thrust force imparted on said interchangeable vial carrier 150a being derived from a dynamic thrust impartible by a compression spring, said interchangeable vial carrier being movable in the power retraction manner in an inactive syringe needle disengaging mode thereby disposed for a repeat movement. At this point, the syringe is filled, removed and ready be used for a medical treatment.

While several embodiments of the invention have been shown, it will be appreciated that still other modifications thereof, some of which have been alluded hereinabove, may have readily made thereto by those skilled in the art such for example vial and syringe carrier combination or syringe and struck limiter combination. I thereof, intend by the appended claims to cover the modifications alluded to herein as well as all the other modifications which fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
