STERILE FLEXIBLE PACKAGE WITH PRESSURE COMPENSATOR FOR THE DOSED RECONSTITUTION OF FLUID MEDICINAL OR NUTRITIONAL SUBSTANCES TO BE ADMINISTERED TO PATIENTS BY INFUSION OR INJECTION
The package comprises a sterile bag (3) filled with liquid diluent, a bottle (9) equipped with a pierceable cap (26) to contain a medicinal or nutritional substance and a tube (12) extending from the bag and ending with a coupling and perforation device (16) for the cap of the bottle. Said bag is housed in a flexible sterile sealed casing (1), while the bottle and the coupling and perforation device are accommodated in a second flexible sterile sealed casing (2). The tube (12) has a portion (13) between the first and second casing, housing a flow diverter (18) adjustable from a first position in which it impedes any communication between the bottle and the bag, to a second position in which it allows the bag to be put in communication with a sealed side opening (19) for a syringe (22), or a third position in which it allows the bottle to be connected with said side opening. To another side opening (41) of the flow diverter a flexible tube (42) with hydrophobic filter (43) is attached, terminating into one and/or the other of said sterile sealed casings and serving as a pressure compensator.
Measured fluid dispenser
A fluid dispenser for measuring and dispensing fluid from a container includes a housing having a measurement chamber that defines a volume for receiving a predefined quantity of the fluid, a fluid flow passage having an inlet configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid in the container, and an outlet in fluid communication with the measurement chamber, such that the fluid flow passage permits fluid flow between the container and the measurement chamber. A valve member is provided that is movable in the flow passage to open the flow passage to permit fluid flow from the container to the measurement chamber to thereby allow the volume of the measurement chamber to fill with the predefined quantity of fluid; and to close the flow passage to restrict fluid flow from the container to the measurement chamber, and to isolate the predefined quantity of fluid to the measurement chamber.
Safely drug handling device
A drug mixing system including at least one receptacle port adaptor adapted to be inserted into a port of a fluid receptacle, at least one syringe adaptor adapted to be attached to a syringe and to the at least one receptacle port adaptor and at least one vial adaptor adapted for connection to a vial containing a drug and adapted for connection to the at least one syringe adaptor, the system being characterized in that at least one of the receptacle port adaptor, the at least one syringe adaptor and the at least one vial adaptor being vented to the atmosphere in a manner which prevents release to the atmosphere of possibly harmful contents of the vial in a liquid, solid or gaseous form.

DEVICES FOR ACCESSING MEDICINAL FLUID FROM A CONTAINER
In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial comprises a piercing member and a bag. The bag can be contained within the piercing member such that the bag is introduced to the vial when the vial adaptor is coupled with the vial. In some embodiments, the bag expands within the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In other embodiments, a vial comprises a bag for regulating pressure within the vial as liquid is removed therefrom. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid. In some embodiments, as the liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, the bag expands within the vial, and in other embodiments, the bag contracts within the vial.
BODILY FLUID DRAINAGE ASSEMBLY
A bodily fluid drainage assembly can include a fluid bag and one or more covers. The assembly can include one or more volume indicators from which an approximate volume of a bodily fluid that is retained within can be ascertained. In some arrangements, a cover includes a volume indicator that defines an opening through which a transparent or semitransparent portion of the bag can be viewed.

SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPONENTS FOR TRANSFERRING MEDICAL FLUIDS
An example of a method of enabling medical fluid transfer between a source container and a destination container can comprise the steps of providing a closed-system fluid transfer module comprising a first closeable, resealable medical connector and a second closeable, resealable medical connector, a multidirectional fluid control valve with a driving interface configured to interface with an electromechanical driver of an electronic medical fluid transfer device, and an intermediate container or an intermediate pumping region; and instructing a user to couple the closed-system fluid transfer module to the electronic medical fluid transfer device.

DYNAMIC MIXING AND DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR MIXING A THERAPEUTIC AGENT IN AN INJECTOR OR AUTOINJECTOR
A mixing device configured to hold two containers, each having a separate medicament component disposed therein. A fluidic channel is provided that upon creating fluidic communication with each container once seals about each container are opened. Then a transfer mechanism can transfer the medicament components from one container to the other container until ready to be delivered or transferred through the fluidic channel through a delivery assembly.
