SYRINGE ADAPTER
An exemplary syringe adapter for coupling with a syringe may include a housing. A needle-free connector may be disposed in the housing. A communication member may be in slidable engagement with the housing. The communication member may be slidable, with respect to the housing, between an unactuated state and an actuated state of the syringe adapter. A cannula may extend from the communication. In the unactuated state, the cannula may be retracted within the needle-free connector. In the actuated state, the cannula may protrude through and axially beyond the needle-free connector.
Fluid delivery device having an insertable prefilled cartridge
A fluid delivery device includes a housing having a bottom surface configured to be coupled to the skin surface. The fluid delivery device includes a cartridge prefilled with a fluid and configured to be inserted into the housing. The cartridge has a septum configured to be generally perpendicular to the bottom surface when the cartridge is inserted in the housing. The fluid delivery device includes a needle assembly that has a needle that includes a fluid coupling end and a delivery end. The fluid coupling end of the needle is fluidly disengaged from the cartridge in an initial position. The delivery end of the needle extends past the plane of the bottom surface and the fluid coupling end of the needle extends through the septum in a deployed position.
Sealed Medication Dispensing and Administering Device
A sealed medication dispensing and administering device has a syringe, a plunger, a connecting holder, an elastic valve, and a liquid stopper. The syringe has an outer barrel having an air inlet tube and an inner barrel inserted inside the outer barrel and having a medication inlet tube. The plunger is inserted within the outer and inner barrels. The connecting holder is connected to the syringe and has a connecting cover with at least one outer connecting hole and two piercing needles respectively piercing inside the air inlet tube and the medication inlet tube. Inner spaces of the two piercing needles communicate with the at least one outer connecting hole. The elastic valve selectively covers the two piercing needles. The fluid stopper is disposed within the connecting cover and blocks one of the at least one outer connecting hole and the inner space of the air inlet tube.
PRESSURE-REGULATING FLUID TRANSFER SYSTEMS AND METHODS
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.

TUBE CONNECTOR FOR AN INFUSION TUBE, INFUSION SET, AND METHOD FOR VENTING AN INFUSION TUBE
A tube connector for an infusion tube is connectable to an infusion container. The tube connector has a first fluid opening that is connectable to the infusion tube or to a drip chamber connected to the infusion tube to provide a first fluid connection between the infusion container and the infusion tube. The tube connector has a second fluid opening connectable to the infusion tube to provide a second fluid connection between the infusion container and the infusion tube. The tube connector has a blocking device configured to block a fluid connection between the infusion tube connected to the second fluid opening and the infusion container connected to the tube connector to prevent a release of fluid from the infusion container into the infusion tube.

Fluid infusion device and related sealing assembly for a needleless fluid reservoir
Disclosed herein is a fluid infusion device of the type that delivers medication fluid to the body of a patient. The device includes or cooperates with a fluid reservoir, and the device has a sealing assembly to receive and form a fluid seal with the fluid reservoir. A retractable sealing element surrounding a hollow fluid delivery needle may be used to seal a port of the fluid reservoir. The port may include a pressure vent that is sealed by the retractable sealing element. In one variation, the reservoir includes a moving valve sleeve that holds a septum. The septum moves to allow the reservoir to vent, and to form a seal with the port when the needle pierces the septum. In another variation, the device includes a needleless sealing assembly. In yet other variations, the device uses a needled fluid reservoir.
NEEDLE UNIT
The present invention provides a needle unit configured to be mounted to medical syringe, the needle unit including a needle member having a longitudinally extending inner space and having a needle hole formed in a side surface of a front end and an opening formed in a base end, the inner space being in communication with the outside through the needle hole and the opening, a base portion for supporting the base end of the needle member and communicating between the syringe and the inner space of the needle member by being attached to the syringe, a slide member movable along an outer peripheral surface of the needle member and capable of taking a first position to close the needle hole and a second position to uncover the needle hole in the base end portion side of the first position, a biasing member that biases the slide member from the second position side to the first position side; and a cap removably mounted to the base portion and is configured to cover the needle member.
SAFETY 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.
