Those break easy I would not drop it for that reason. I am unsure as to whether it is ok otherwise. The best bet would be to have the person who is sterile draw it out with a sterile syringe while you hold it.Annie
I am fairly certain you could dump ten thousand carpuject cartridges on a sterile field without any of them breaking.
I think I'm confused as to what you're asking. The second you pull it from the machine, with your hands, it's not sterile any longer?! So no, you couldn't drop it in a sterile field.
The carpujects we have are sealed in a little plastic tube, so you could dump them out. As others have pointed out, not sure why it would be necessary.

As an example: you're setting up a spinal by your self and want to have your syringe with marcaine and dialysis ready to go. Not a big deal to just wait for someone just wondering since the vial says sterile cartridge and is in a sealed plastic tube.

So I've searched everywhere, and can't find anything on this. The Dilaudid Carpuject vial says sterile cartridge on it, and comes in a plastic clear tube as you probably know. Is there any reason why it couldn't be dropped in on a sterile field?
