BD Effivax Glass Prefillable Syringe

BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) has introduced a next-generation glass prefillable syringe (PFS) with tightened specifications for processability, cosmetics, contamination and integrity. The BD Effivax Glass Prefillable Syringe has been designed in collaboration with leading pharmaceutical companies to meet the complex and evolving needs of vaccine manufacturing.

Prefillable syringes are an important option in the packaging and delivery of injectable drug products, including vaccines, biologics and anticoagulants, and help enable the administration of a drug in two ways. First, a PFS is a drug delivery system designed to safely administer the appropriate amount of the drug to the patient. Second, PFS packaging helps to make sure there are no adverse effects on the quality, purity or potency of the drug over its full shelf life.

BD’s PFS is designed to help users meet the stringent demands of today’s vaccine manufacturing through enhancements focused on fill/finish. Through improved quality specifications, the product is designed to reduce the risk of line stoppage and improve the total cost of ownership, manufacturing capacity and supply availability.
