A port-equipped bag includes a bag body formed in a bag shape with a sheet, and a cylindrical port member attached to the bag body, and an inner plug and a cap can be attached to the port member. The port member includes an attaching target portion that is covered by the cap in a case in which the cap is attached thereto and an annular lip protruding outward from the port member. The lip has an annular engagement surface facing the bag body, and the engagement surface has an angle of 45 to 135 with respect to an outer peripheral surface of the attaching target portion in a cross section in an axial direction of the attaching target portion.

The present invention involves a fill needle system for aseptically dispensing a pharmaceutical fluid in an aseptic chamber comprises a fill needle tubing in fluid communication with a pharmaceutical fluid source via flexible tubing and extending through a fill needle hub; a fill needle dispensing tip disposed at a dispensing end of the fill needle tubing; a fill needle sheath shaped and arranged to removably mate with and seal aseptically to the fill needle hub to form an aseptically sealed volume enclosing the dispensing tip; and a fluid pressure pulse induction system disposed and configured to compress the flexible tubing in order to dislodge droplets of pharmaceutical fluid retained on the dispensing tip after halting dispensing of the pharmaceutical fluid. An associated method of dispensing pharmaceutical fluid comprises operating the fluid pressure pulse induction system to dislodge the droplets. The system may comprise a controller for automatically controlling the dispensing and droplet dislodging.

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 package for use with a beneficial agent delivery device. The package includes at least one filling chamber having a sealed penetrable access region, at least one compartment configured to hold a content, wherein the content includes at least one of a beneficial agent or a constituent of a beneficial agent, and at least one channel connecting the at least one filling chamber in fluid communication with the at least one compartment. At least a portion of the package is resealable to contain the content.

A heating cabinet for IV bags provides a uniform thermal field promoted by circulated heated air passing through air permeable shelves. IV bag temperature is modeled through a knowledge of the uniform thermal field temperature and arrival time of the IV bag eliminating the need for separate temperature sensors and control loops. Bag status may be signaled through modulated light distinguishable by individuals with limited color sensitivity. Signals are associated with particular IV bags by projecting the signal light into the bag itself.

This disclosure relates to a multichamber device for administration of substances to a patient. The multichamber device comprises a first end comprising one or more ports and a second end opposite of the first end. The multichamber device further comprises a first plurality of septa and a second plurality of septa dividing the interior into a plurality of chambers, the first plurality of septa being parallel with the first end and configured to open, the second plurality of septa configured to remain sealed, the chambers further divided into a main chamber abutting the first end and being wider than the rest of the plurality of chambers and the rest of the plurality of chambers being organized into columns such that the columns extend from the second end to the main chamber and are oriented so that the first plurality of septa are configured to open toward the first end. The disclosure further relates to methods of using the multichamber device.

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.
