A drug mixing device is disclosed. The drug mixing device comprises a first container for holding a fluid component of a drug to be mixed and a second container, and a transfer member configured to provide a fluid pathway between the first container and the second container. The transfer member is configured to minimise the hydraulic resistance to the movement of the fluid component when the fluid component flows from the first container to the second container.

A method of transferring a mixed drug from a drug mixing device in which drug has been mixed to a drug administration device id disclosed. The method comprises the steps of establishing a fluid coupling in an initial configuration between the drug mixing device and the drug administration device to create an assembly comprising the drug mixing device and drug administration device, wherein the drug administration device is located above the drug mixing device. The method includes the step of inverting the assembly to position it in an inverted configuration such that the drug administration device is located below the drug mixing device. The method includes the step of causing a flow of the mixed drug from the drug mixing device to the drug administration device when the assembly is in the inverted configuration. Also described is a drug mixing device comprising a container for holding a mixed drug and an exit transfer member fluidly connected to the container, the exit transfer member for transferring at least some of the mixed drug to a drug administration device. The exit transfer member is arranged such that fluid flow of the mixed drug between the drug mixing device and the drug administration device can occur only when the fluid transfer assembly is placed substantially in a specified orientation.

A device, kit, and method for producing medically-deliverable intravenous solution may include supplying a water to a housing, pumping the water through the housing while purifying the water, metering concentrated intravenous solution into the water to create a medically-deliverable intravenous solution, and dispensing the medically-deliverable intravenous solution, such as immediate intravenous infusion to a patient.

A clean environment for mixing injectable drugs having a floor and back member made of stainless steel that is L shaped when seen from the side. The base portion sits on top of a drawer assembly. The back portion has accessory retaining compartments mounted on the left and right side that hold accessories necessary for the process of injecting drugs into IV bags. An IV tip holder is magnetically held to the base portion. Integral posts are located on the top portion of the back member to removably retain the end of a standard IV bag. A circular cutout on the base portion allows for the insertion of a plastic cup.

A drug mixing device is disclosed. The drug mixing device comprises a transfer member, comprising an aperture for dispensing a fluid, wherein the fluid is a first component of a drug to be mixed. The drug mixing device also comprises a container for containing a second component of the drug to be mixed, the container comprising a surface. The aperture is configured to determine the initial direction of the velocity of the fluid dispensed through the aperture and further configured to direct the dispensed fluid towards the surface. The aperture and the surface are arranged relative to each other to cooperate such that, in use, substantially all of the dispensed fluid initially encounters the surface at an oblique angle.

A drug mixing device is disclosed. The drug mixing device comprises an actuator configured to cause automatic mixing of a first component of a drug to be mixed with a second component of a drug to be mixed; and a trigger, configured to be actuated by a user, to cause the actuator to commence mixing.

A drug mixing device is disclosed. The drug mixing device comprises a container for containing a fluid component of a drug to be mixed and a housing. The housing comprises an inlet aperture configured to be connected to a fluid driver for driving a driving fluid into the container and an outlet aperture configured to permit the fluid component of the drug to be mixed to leave the container. The apertures are arranged such that the driving fluid enters the container through the inlet aperture, and additionally arranged such that the fluid component exits the container through the outlet aperture, the driving fluid having a lower density than the fluid component. The inlet aperture and the outlet aperture are arranged such that, in use, the inlet aperture is located above the outlet aperture.

A drug mixing device is disclosed. The drug mixing device comprises a movable actuator, wherein movement of the actuator causes mixing of a drug within the drug mixing device; and an elastic member coupled to the actuator. The elastic member is configured upon release to transition from an extended state to a non-extended state, the elastic member storing energy in the extended state. The movement of the actuator is driven by the release of the stored energy as the elastic member transitions from the extended state towards the non-extended state.

A drug mixing device is disclosed. The drug mixing device comprises a first container for holding a first component of a drug to be mixed, a second container for holding a second component of the drug to be mixed, fluidly coupled to the first container; and a fluid driver fluidly coupled to the first container and configured to drive a driving fluid into the first container. The mixing device is arranged such that, in use, when the fluid driver drives the driving fluid into the first container, at least some of the first component of the drug to be mixed flows to the second container.

A drug mixing device is disclosed. The drug mixing device comprises an actuator configured to cause mixing of a first component of a drug with a second component of the drug; and a locking mechanism, having a locked state and a unlocked state. The actuation of the actuator is prevented when the locking mechanism is in the locked state and the actuation of the actuator is permitted when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked state. The locking mechanism is configured to adopt the unlocked state only when the mixing device is oriented in a specific orientation.
