A system includes a cap for a medical fluid container and an attachment part. The cap includes at least one first port. The first port includes a septum and a connection structure. The attachment part includes a hollow spike and a joining structure in fluid communication with the hollow spike. The joining structure is configured for connecting the device for withdrawing fluid from the fluid container and/or for supplying fluid into the fluid container. The connection structure is configured to be connected to a complementary connection structure of the attachment part in a releasable or non-releasable manner such that the hollow spike of the attachment part pierces the septum.

A medical device including an application device with a first fluid path and a container movably attached to the application device. The container and the application device have a second fluid path therethrough, the container includes an inner chamber that is intermediate proximal and distal portions of the second fluid path, the inner chamber is fluidly isolated from the proximal portion of the second fluid path at a first position of the container, and the inner chamber is fluidly coupled to the proximal and distal portions of the second fluid path at a second position of the container. The first fluid path bypasses the container and the passage of fluid through the first fluid path is separately controllable from the passage of fluid through the second fluid path.

A method and apparatus for a connection interface between a reservoir or syringe, infusion set tubing, and an infusion pump is provided. The reservoir, a base and a cap are connected to form an integrated unit that is capable of being inserted and secured in an infusion pump housing. The cap and the infusion pump are each provided with at least one sensor or at least one detectable feature, arranged to interact with at least one corresponding detectable feature or sensor on the other of the cap and infusion pump device, to detect one or more of the presence, position or other characteristic of the cap when the cap is aligned or coupled with the infusion pump housing. The detectable feature and sensor may be magnetic, RF, mechanical, optical or any combination.

An assembly for adding a medication or like substance to a liquid solution in a flexible bag (10) is provided. The flexible bag (10) contains a liquid solution, such as dialysate. An adapter (14) extends from the flexible bag (10) and includes a skirt (20) having an array of resilient sections (22) for engaging and snapping onto a neck finish (106) of a separate vial (100) containing a medication or like substance. A locking device (16) is adapted to be secured about the skirt (20) in a locking position that prevents outward movement of the array of resilient sections (22) and thereby prevents disengagement of the vial (100) from the adapter (14). A method of transferring the liquid solution from the bag (10) to the vial (100), mixing the medication with the liquid solution, and returning the mixture to the bag (10) is also provided.

Disclosed is a connector for connecting a sealed, flexible nutrition pouch to the hydration system of a user's protective mask, that allows the nutrition pouch to remain sealed until the user intends to consume the product inside of the nutrition pouch, enables resealing of the pouch after it has initially been opened, and allows connection of the nutrition pouch to the user's hydration system. The connector comprises a multi-piece body having an inlet end that may be manually attached to the outlet of the nutrition pouch without breaking the seal covering the outlet of the nutrition pouch. The connector likewise has an outlet end configured for attachment to an adapter on the user's fluid delivery system. Upon attachment of the adapter to the outlet of the connector, a piston inside of the connector is pushed toward the outlet of the nutrition pouch and breaks the seal over the outlet of the nutrition pouch, thus forming a flow channel for material in the nutrition pouch to flow through the connector and into the adapter and fluid delivery system for ultimate consumption by the user.

A fluid transfer connector or adapter for coupling to a container or pharmacy bottle for facilitating the transfer of fluid or medicine from the bottle to a syringe, or from the syringe to the bottle. Optionally, an additional connector can be provided for coupling the fluid transfer connector to the syringe. Optionally, the connector can be provided with a sloped base for preventing residual amounts of fluids from remaining within the bottle.

A vented transfer lid includes an inner collar projecting from a top panel of the transfer lid and having an outer circumferential surface having a texturized electrical discharge machining (EDM) surface finish. In some example forms, an interior surface of the top panel includes a texturized EDM surface finish. In example forms, the transfer lid includes a transfer port wherein at least a portion of an interior surface of the transfer port includes a texturized EDM surface finish. In other embodiments, at least a portion of the vented transfer lid comprises a nonpolar boundary such that fluids exposed to the nonpolar boundary bead and form droplets having a dimension rendering them incapable of passing through one or more vent paths.

A closure assembly for a medical dispenser which may include a one-piece tip cap having a flow restrictor and a removably connected sleeve disposed in surrounding relation to the flow restrictor. The tip cap further includes an access opening and an oppositely disposed closed end, wherein the flow restrictor is structured for a fluid sealing engagement with a discharge port of the medical dispenser, passing through said access opening. The closed end includes removably attached inner and outer end segments respectively formed on the flow restrictor and the sleeve and are collectively structured to define a removable connection between the flow restrictor and sleeve. A cover may be fixedly attached to the sleeve in overlying, covering relation to exterior surfaces of the inner and outer end segments.

A cap assembly includes an access member including a first section and a second section. The first section includes a connection portion that is attachable to an extraction device that extracts contents of a reservoir. The connection portion includes a first opening. The second section includes a second opening in fluid communication with the contents of the reservoir when the access member is secured to the reservoir. The cap assembly includes a valve member insertable into the access member so as to be in fluid communication with the first opening and the second opening and such that the valve member i) seals the contents of the reservoir at the first opening when the connection portion is not attached the extraction device, and ii) provides access to the contents of the reservoir through the first opening when the connection portion is attached to the extraction device.

A bioprocess vessel includes a flexible bag or substantially rigid container that defines an interior volume and having a bottom surface, the bottom surface being open or containing an aperture therein for the passage of fluid. A pump is secured to the bottom surface of the flexible bag or substantially rigid container. In some embodiments is secured directly to the flexible bag or substantially rigid container. In other embodiments, the pump is secured indirectly the flexible bag or substantially rigid container using, for example, a port that extends through the aperture on the bottom surface. The port or flanged surface may also be integrated into the pump, which is secured to the vessel. An optional mixing adaptor may be provided inside the interior volume of the flexible bag or substantially rigid container and at least partially covers the inlet that leads to the pump.
