A medicinal vial reconstitution and IV dispensing device includes a bifurcated receptacle adapted to engage a medicinal vial, and a valve or barrier for selectively opening and closing the medicinal vial from fluidic communication with the patient IV line. The reconstitution device mixes medication with saline solution from an IV bag through a dedicated channel. The reconstitution device receives a medication vial containing the powdered medication. The reconstituted medication is then passed back into the IV bag for uniform mixing. A flow control element ensures fluid flow only from the vial to the bag. Once mixed, the reconstituted medication achieves a desired concentration in the IV bag. The (now medicated) saline solution in the IV bag is dispensed back through the reconstitution device via an IV line to the patient, and the flow control element redirects fluid only to the IV line and prevents any backflow with the vial.

A medical device is configured to be connectable with a vial. The medical device includes a tubular body and an adapter. The tubular body defines a container for containing a composition, and has a spike located at a distal end thereof. The spike has at least one through hole in fluid communication with the container. The adapter is formed with or coupled to the body, and is located at or about the spike.

In one aspect, a combinatorial drug delivery device is provided for delivering a predetermined selection of drug components. The device includes a plurality of modules, each including: a body having an interior volume; a spike plate movably disposed in the interior volume, the spike plate having a protruding cannula and first and second ports. The device also includes a base tray which includes: a framework defining a plurality of wells, each of the wells formed to insertingly receive one of the modules; for each of the wells, first and second inlet ports formed to interface with the first and second ports of the module being received in the respective well; passageways to connect certain wells with adjacent wells to permit fluid flow therebetween. For each of the wells, the spike plate of the respective module being maintained in a stationary position with the module being inserted into the well.

A reconstitution device includes a body, a first piercing member located at a first end of the body, and a receptacle located at the second end of the body. The receptacle includes a collar configured to engage a vial, and a cap extending from the collar and holding a second piercing member. The second piercing member is disposed within the collar. The reconstitution device includes a first fluid pathway formed within and extending from the first piercing member to the second piercing member. The reconstitution device includes a second fluid pathway formed within and extending from the second piercing member to a portion of the body between the first piercing member and the second piercing member.

A topical applicator of the propel/repel type includes a reservoir, an attachable applicator cap, and a metered dosing system. The reservoir is suitable for mixing a topical formulation of multiple constituents using an electronic mortar and pestle and is closed using the applicator cap. Alternatively, the reservoir may be prefilled with a ready-to-use cream and medicament formulation, then sealed with a removable seal. The topical applicator can also include a one-way ratcheting feature to prevent reverse movement (repel) of the metered dosing system. Metered doses can be dispensed through holes in the applicator cap by rotating a knob, which has detent positions that correspond to discrete doses, and which provides audible and tactile feedback.

A reconstitution device includes a body, a first piercing member located at a first end of the body, and a receptacle located at the second end of the body. The receptacle includes a collar configured to engage a vial, and a cap extending from the collar and holding a second piercing member. The second piercing member is disposed within the collar. The reconstitution device includes a first fluid pathway formed within and extending from the first piercing member to the second piercing member. The reconstitution device includes a second fluid pathway formed within and extending from the second piercing member to a portion of the body between the first piercing member and the second piercing member.

A filling device for dosed filling of a product from a product storage container into product dose receiving containers provided in a disposable isolator so to be protected against contamination. The device includes means for holding the product storage container together with the contents outside of the disposable isolator. The device includes a controllable product removal device for a dosed removal of the product from the product storage container. The device includes a product dispensing device for the dosed dispensing of the product to the product dose receiving containers. The device includes a line assembly interconnecting the product storage container and the product dispensing device to conduct the product to the product dispensing device. The device includes at least one ultrasonic flowmeter outside of the disposable isolator fixed to the outside of the line assembly to detect the flow rate. The device includes a controller for measuring the product dose.

A medication component mixing system is formed of a first syringe, such as a female syringe, and a second syringe such as a male syringe, wherein the system is configured to mix a female portion and a male portion of the medication. The female syringe and the male syringe mechanically couple to one another in an end-to-end fashion for mixing of the contents of the female and male portions.

Drug reconstitution systems and related methods are disclosed herein. A drug reconstitution system may include a first component in a first container in a storage state and a second component in a second container in a storage state. The first component may be selected from a group of a drug product, a diluent, a saline solution, and an IV stabilizing solution (“IVSS”). The second component may be selected from a group of the drug product, the diluent, the saline solution, and the IVSS. The first component may be different than the second component. At least one fluid path may be configured to at least selectively fluidly connect the first container and the second container. An urging assembly may be configured to selectively urge at least a portion of the first component from the first container and into contact with the second component.

Methods of preparing a drug for delivery and drug delivery systems for achieving the same are disclosed. A method of preparing a drug for delivery may include providing a diluent contained in a diluent container and providing a drug product contained within a drug product container. The method may further include fluidly connecting the diluent container and the drug product container. Additionally the method may include urging, via a pump, at least a portion of the diluent from the diluent container into the drug product container to at least partially reconstitute the drug product.
