A cartridge for use with a beneficial agent delivery device having a fillable reservoir. The cartridge includes a reconstitution, unit dose package having first and second compartments, and a fitment. The first compartment contains at least a first constituent of the beneficial agent. The second compartment contains at least a second constituent of the beneficial agent. The fitment is disposed on the package for interfacing the package to the fillable reservoir.

In some embodiments, a medical fluid connector is configured to receive an emitter of therapeutic agents to be emitted into a fluid pathway within the connector, the medical fluid connector comprising a proximal female end, an intermediate region, a distal male end, and a fluid pathway extending from the proximal female end, through the intermediate region, to the distal male end. A retaining structure is positioned within the intermediate region. The retaining structure is configured to securely receive an emitter of one or more therapeutic agents in a position and orientation where the fluid pathway is configured to convey fluid moving longitudinally through the fluid pathway directly into a proximal region of the emitter, around one or more lateral surfaces of the emitter, and toward the distal male end.

Various systems and methods for the pressure-regulated transfer of medical fluids are disclosed. The system can include an adapter assembly that connects with a medical container and with a syringe assembly. The syringe assembly can include a first reservoir and a second reservoir. In various embodiments, when the adapter assembly and the syringe assembly are coupled, the first reservoir and the container can exchange regulating fluid and the second reservoir and the container can exchange medical liquid from the medical container.

In some embodiments, a reconstitution or medicinal fluid delivery device includes a transfer engine including two fluidly connected spikes, each configured to pierce a container. A check valve may be disposed between the two spikes to allow unidirectional flow from one container to the other. Physical access to a fluid outlet may be obstructed by a housing until the reconstitution or medicinal fluid delivery device is actuated, whereupon physical access to the fluid outlet is permitted. The reconstitution or medicinal fluid delivery device may be placed on a flat surface and actuated with force applied in a single direction toward the flat surface.

Apparatus for removably attaching a syringe to a container for extracting fluid therefrom into the syringe, which is particularly beneficial for fluid having a relatively high viscosity. The disclosed container adapter holds a syringe adapter securely therein (the syringe adapter configured for providing a fluid path between a container and a syringe) while also securing the syringe adapter to the container, and provides an attachment point for securely attaching the syringe to the syringe adapter and thus to the container (at least) while the fluid is withdrawn from the container into the syringe. The syringe is removably attached to an end of the syringe adapter during the withdrawal, and a cap is provided that closes entry and exit to this attachment point when the syringe is not in place. The cap preferably attaches to the syringe adapter using a connection that mimics the connection used by the syringe.

A hollow-needle assembly is part of a transfer apparatus that serves for transferring a liquid between a storage container and a further use container. The hollow-needle assembly has a hollow needle having a pointed needle end. A liquid duct for transporting liquid through the hollow needle and out of the latter leads out via at least one liquid-duct opening in the region of the free needle end. An aeration gas duct that likewise leads out via a gas-duct opening in the region of the free needle end serves for transporting gas through the hollow-needle assembly. Duct paths of the at least one liquid duct and of the at least one aeration gas duct extend separately from one another. The ducts lead out adjacently to one another axially along the hollow needle and in a manner offset from one another in the circumferential direction. A needle separating edge that extends in the longitudinal direction of the hollow needle extends between in each case one liquid-duct opening and an adjacent gas-duct opening in the circumferential direction. This results in reliable ventilation and venting of the storage container via the hollow needle when liquid is transferred.

This invention provides a means by which correct dosages of emergency medication can be provided to children under emergency situations. A color- and size-coded set of cylinders is provided where the colors match the color codes of the Broselow® Pediatric Emergency Tape, a common method by which the proper dosage for child is estimated based on the child's height. Each type of medication in the emergency kit has its own color-coded set of cylinders, such that once emergency medical personnel measure the child and determine which medication to use, all they need to do is grab the correct cylinder based on the color (which has already been determined from the Broselow® measurement). The invention allows emergency medical personnel to safely, efficiently, quickly, and accurately deliver the correct dosage of one or more medications to a child under emergency conditions.

A transfer device for transferring a medical fluid from a vial to a medical fluid injection device includes a vial holder where a vial spike positioned within the vial holder is configured to enter a vial containing a medical fluid when the vial is inserted into the vial holder. An expansion chamber having an interior cavity is in fluid communication with the vial spike. A pressurized gas cartridge is positioned with the interior cavity of the expansion chamber, while a puncture tip is configured to puncture the pressurized gas cartridge when actuated by a user. The vial spike is also configured to be in fluid communication with an injection device attached to the transfer device.

Fluid transfer systems are disclosed that can be configured to transfer precise amounts of fluid from a source container to a target container. The fluid transfer system can have multiple fluid transfer stations for transferring fluids into multiple target containers or for combining different types of fluids into a single target container to form a mixture. The fluid transfer system can include a pump and a destination sensor, such as a weight sensor. The fluid transfer system can be configured to flush remaining fluid out of a connector to reduce waste, using air or a flushing fluid.

The system can include a multi-lumen chamber can removably connected to and in fluid communication with a proximal end of a mixing lumen and include a first lumen aligned with a second lumen. The first lumen can be configured to include a first constituent in a first cavity. A first plunger can be internally positioned within the first lumen to control flow of the first constituent from the first cavity into the mixing lumen. The first cavity can terminate in a first port in fluid communication with the proximal end of the mixing lumen. The second lumen can be configured to include a second constituent. A second plunger can be internally positioned within the second lumen. The second lumen can terminate in a second port adjacent the first port and in fluid communication with the proximal end of the mixing lumen.
