Medical vials and bottles containing medications dispensable syringes and needles are interfaced to replaceable caps having alcohol infused wipes therein to sterilize the rubber hubs through which the needles will be inserted into the vials to draw out the medication therefrom.

A vial assembly may include a vial having a body to hold a liquid material, and a neck extending from the body. The neck may include a multi-use surface configured to permit access to the liquid material. The vial assembly may include a cap to be received by the neck and to cover the multi-use surface. The cap may include a base having a first major surface, and a second major surface opposite of the first major surface, arms extending from the second major surface, and a rupturable reservoir of disinfectant material carried by the base between the first major surface and the second major surface. One or more of the first major surface and the second major surface may be flexible so as to rupture the rupturable reservoir when the cap is received by the neck.

Aspects of the present invention are directed to an individual dose pack. The individual dose pack may comprise a single serving pod and an overwrap surrounding the entirety of the single serving pod and sealing the single serving pod therein, wherein the overwrap is child-resistant and creates an impermeable barrier being resistant to the passage of liquids and gases. The single serving pod may include a cup, at least one pharmaceutical active ingredient provided in the cup, and a lid affixed to the cup. The overwrap is a multi-layer structure including a first layer being a biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate layer, a second layer being a polyethylene layer, a third layer being an aluminum foil layer, and fourth layer being an ionomer layer.

Single-serve containers for use in brewing a cannabis-based beverage are described, as are methods for preparing a single-serve container configured for receipt in a single-serve brewing machine. The method includes: adding a processed cannabis product to the single-serve container; adding, to the single-serve container, at least one of an extraction or flavoring agent; and sealing the single-serve container.

A system for purifying incoming fluid is modular and includes a heat exchanger module, an evaporator-condenser module and a compressor. The system components are arranged in a stacked configuration to facilitate gravitational flow of the purified fluid such that the purified fluid drains passively for collection. A system for preparation of ready-to-use treatment fluid includes the modular fluid purification system, a preparation station and a coupling device. The components are configured to be retained in a portable carrier that is manually operable for improved access to and mobility of the components. A coupling device can connect the flow channels of several components and can be used in preparing ready-to-use dialysate. A system prepares a receptacle and a ready-to-use treatment fluid in the receptacle.

A BAK removal device is constructed as a plug of microparticles of a hydrophilic polymeric gel that displays a hydraulic permeability greater than 0.01 Da. The polymer hydrophilic polymeric gel comprises poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA). The particles are 2 to 100 m and the plug has a surface area of 30 mm.sup.2 to 2 mm.sup.2 and a length of 2 mm to 25 mm and wherein the microparticles of a hydrophilic polymeric gel has a pore radius of 3 to 60 m.

A system for storing pharmaceuticals or biological media comprising a bag including a flexible sidewall defining an opening; and a vent coupled with the flexible sidewall at the opening and defining a vent passageway between an internal volume of the bag and an external environment, wherein the vent is coupled with the bag at a location spaced apart from and above the opening.

Methods and apparatus for preparing autologous blood serum eye drops within a potentially contaminating environment are disclosed. Key convenience kit apparatus providing novel methodology includes a plastic bag in which an innovative tray securely holds a plurality of empty eye drop bottles and associated caps disposed and sealed therein. Providing the only access pathway into the bag is a sterilizing filter appliance which filters all fluid entering the bag and provides a nozzle for dispensing into bottles disposed in the tray. The key convenience kit apparatus is sterilized prior to use, assuring all components disposed within the bag are within a desired sterility assurance level. The sterilized state of items associated with the key apparatus is maintained by the single pathway for fluid. Capping and sealing the bottles before opening the bag permits delivery of sterile product for use outside the bag.

A disinfecting capping device for a sharp medical object, such as a medical needle, is provided. The device includes a container comprising a bottom, an open end opposite to the bottom, and a side disposed between the open end and the bottom of the container. The device further includes a first disinfecting member disposed on the internal surface of the side of the container between the open end and the bottom thereof so as to form a cavity for receiving the sharp medical object through the open end of the container.

An apparatus to preserve a first fluid of a medicine vial is provided. The apparatus may include a vial coupling member comprising a housing and a flexible membrane. The housing and the flexible membrane form a vial coupling member cavity within the vial coupling member. The apparatus may also include a first fluid pathway forming a first lumen that is in fluid communication with the vial coupling member cavity. The apparatus may further include a second fluid pathway forming a second lumen that is in fluid communication with the vial coupling member cavity. When the flexible membrane engages the medicine vial, the flexible membrane forms a sealed environment over a medicine vial septum. When the flexible membrane engages the medicine vial, the flexible membrane permits the first lumen and the second lumen to establish fluid communication with an interior space of the medicine vial.
