Abstract

A container mixing system wherein a medicament is placed in a container mounted externally of a container with a diluent. Mixing of the medicament in one container with the diluent in the other is accomplished by attaching an additive assembly with a piercing element to an additive port of the diluent container to pierce a diaphragm in the additive port and a diaphragm or stopper in the additive container. In one embodiment, the additive assembly includes a bellows portion which will permit movement of the piercing element through the additive assembly stopper and the port diaphragm while maintaining a sterile medicament in a glass vial.
