A protective cap for a dispenser for discharging pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic liquids. The dispenser has a liquid reservoir and a discharge opening through which the liquid can be dispensed into a surrounding atmosphere. The protective cap has at least one ventilation opening for establishing communication between an interior and an outer surrounding area, and a sterile filter which covers the at least one ventilation opening is arranged on the protective cap in order to reduce or prevent an introduction of microbes into the interior of the protective cap via the at least one ventilation opening.

The present invention relates, in some embodiments thereof, to devices, systems and methods with a locking mechanism that allows a secure connection between vessels. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism allows a secure engagement between a vessel and a cartridge. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism allows a secure engagement between a vessel and a decontamination device. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism allows a secure engagement between two vessels.

A solution is proposed for closing a mouth (125) of a container (110) of a liquid (105). A corresponding closure (135) comprises a cap (205) having fixing means (315) for fixing the cap (205) to the container (110), a delivery port (321) for delivering the liquid (105) from the container (110), a valve member (215) in a closed position wherein the valve member (215) closes the delivery port (321), a cap suction conduit (339) for suctioning air into the container (110) during the delivering of the liquid (105) and a connector (327) for connecting to a delivery device (805) of the liquid (105), the connector (327) being in fluid communication with the delivery port (321), a slider (220) slidebly coupled with the cap (205), the slider (220) having a slider suction conduit (440) for suctioning the air into the container (110) during the delivering of the liquid (105) slidebly coupled with the cap suction conduit (339), and a frangible element (345) closing the cap suction conduit (339) or the slider suction conduit (440), wherein the closure (135) is configured to cause the delivery device (805) during the connecting thereof to move inwards the container (110), in a fixed condition wherein the closure (135) is fixed to the container (110), and thus moving the valve member (215) inwards the container to an open position, wherein the valve member (215) opens the delivery port (321), and moving the slider (220) inwards the container to break the frangible element (345), thereby putting in fluid communication the slider suction conduit (440) with the cap suction conduit (339).

The present invention provides infusion devices, such as intravascular (IV) devices, comprising a hydrophilic sintered porous plastic filter or a hydrophilic porous fiber filter which are effective at stopping or greatly reducing transmission of air through the filter.

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.
