A low-cost drug compounding system that can practically fit inside of a fume hood or the like is provided. The system can use a single pump operable in forward and reverse directions (or multiple pumps) to compound complex mixtures particularly including those requiring the creation of solutions from dry or powdered ingredients. A wireless link allows operation of the system remotely. In one embodiment, the system uses a disposable mixing tube set that can be discarded after mixing while still attached to the base ingredient containers used for the compounding thereby minimize the chance of personnel exposure.

The package comprises a sterile bag filled with liquid diluent, a bottle equipped with a pierceable cap to contain a medicinal substance and a tube extending from the bag and having a coupling and perforation device for the cap. The bag is housed in a first casing, while the bottle and the coupling and perforation device are in a second casing. The tube has a portion, housing a flow diverter adjustable from a first position which impedes any communication between the bottle and the bag, a second position which allows the bag to be put in communication with a sealed side opening for a syringe, or a third position which allows the bottle to be connected with said side opening. Another side opening of the flow diverter a flexible tube with hydrophobic filter is attached, terminating into one of said sterile sealed casings and serving as a pressure compensator.

An integrated structure of a preparation syringe includes a stretchable piston, a barrel, a needle, an exposed rubber plug, a sealing sheet, a built-in rubber plug, a sealing rubber plug and an engaging rubber plug. One end of the barrel is provided with the stretchable piston, and another end of the barrel is provided with a clamping column. The exposed rubber plug is provided on a side of the stretchable piston away from the barrel. The built-in rubber plug is provided within the barrel. A Scale mark is provided on a circumferential surface of the barrel. The sealing rubber plug is inlaid and sleeved on the clamping column. The sealing sheet is provided on a side of exposed tuber plug away from the barrel. A blunt end is provided at an end of the needle away form a needle tip. The engaging rubber plug is provided outside the blunt end.

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.

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 the bag 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.
