The rubber element (121) of the needle adaptor cap (12) and the rubber stopper (13) are made of a rubber material having a comparably low oxygen transmission rate such as, at 1 atmosphere, of not more than 64 cubic centimeter per square meter and day. The second external surface sterilizing comprises a main step of exposing the packaged syringe barrel (11) together with the rubber stopper (13) sealing the interior of the syringe barrel (11) and the needle adaptor cap (12) assembled on the tip (112) of the syringe barrel (11) to ethylene oxide for about 3 hours to about 30 hours at a relative humidity of about 40% to about 100% and at a temperature of about 25° C. to about 45° C. At least one of the duration, the relat

Improved apparatus for use with medication in fluid form, which is particularly beneficial for medications having a relatively high viscosity. The disclosed syringe adapter has an opening that is relatively large, as compared to a conventional needle, and thus affixing the disclosed syringe adapter to a syringe improves syringeability of higher-viscosity medications. Some embodiments feature a lateral extension that prevents inserting the syringe adapter too far into a medicine bottle, and some embodiments feature a component that assists in firmly grasping. When the disclosed syringe adapter is affixed to a pistol-grip or tab-handled syringe, the medication withdrawn into the pistol-grip syringe can be more easily administered from the syringe barrel. In some embodiments, the syringe adapter will be replaced with a needle prior to injecting the medication, while in some other embodiments, the needle is affixed to the in-place syringe adapter for the injection. In yet other embodiments, the needle is affixed to a needle holder that, in turn, is affixed to the in-place syringe adapter for the injection.

Devices and methods are disclosed that provide a syringe actuator device for use in the distention and irrigation of a body conduit before the use in a medical procedure such as a coronary bypass graft procedure. The device can be retrofit to a syringe by attaching it to the cap of the plunger and engaged to automatically apply pressure to fluid in the syringe. In some embodiments, elastic bands attached to the device are easily engaged or removed from a syringe during a procedure to limit the pressure on the syringe to various levels. The device may be overridden by an operator pushing on the plunger of the syringe as in normal syringe operation.

A vacuum controlled liquid delivery system, including a primary chamber; a manifold assembly affixed to the primary chamber, the manifold assembly comprising a feed line and an external pressure line; and a cap configured to reversibly engage the manifold assembly at one end and reversibly cap a syringe at another end, the cap comprising a septum and a porous plug, wherein when the cap is attached to the manifold assembly the feed line passes through the septum, and further wherein the porous plug seals upon contact with a liquid.

A fill adapter system for an infusion pump assembly. The system includes a reusable fill adapter base, the base including a volume control mechanism to adjust an available fill volume of a reservoir of the infusion pump assembly and a pump mechanism configured to pump air into a fluid vial. The system also includes a vial adapter assembly including a first needle configured to penetrate a septum of the fluid vial for fluidly coupling the pump mechanism to the fluid vial and a second needle having a first end configured to penetrate the septum of the fluid vial and a second end configured to penetrate a septum of the reservoir of the infusion pump assembly to allow transfer of fluid from the fluid vial to the reservoir of the infusion pump assembly in response to air being pumped into the fluid vial and a needle carriage adapted to carry the first needle and the second needle, wherein the needle carriage slidably attached to the interior of the vial adapter assembly, wherein the needle carriage adapted to slide from a vial end of the vial adapter to a receptacle end of the vial adapter.

An on-body medical fluid injection device with adhesive assembly includes a housing, an injection needle, a skin-facing surface that faces the skin of a patient when on the patient's body, a skin adhesive carried by at least a portion of the skin facing surface and a plurality of substantially contiguous folded film segments covering the skin adhesive.

Various aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a compounder system having a cartridge that includes controllable fluid pathways. The cartridge may include a syringe pump for moving fluid and/or gas, and one or more syringe valves or rotary valves for controlling which of the controllable fluid pathways is open for flow of the fluid and/or gas.

A device in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a port through which the device receives and dispenses infusion liquid (e.g., insulin solution) and a container that holds the infusion liquid. The device also includes a hub at a flowpath extending between the port and the container. The hub defines a first passage and a second passage in parallel with one another. The device further includes a conditioner and a check valve at the first and second passages, respectively. The conditioner conditions liquid moving between the container and the port by passing the liquid through an adsorbent filter and a mechanical filter. The check valve causes liquid moving between the port and the container to move preferentially via the first passage when flowing in one direction and to move preferentially via the second passage when flowing in an opposite direction.

A fixture for filling a hypodermic syringe includes a vial support and a finger flange support that are substantially coplanar with each other. The vial support holds a vial while the needle of a hypodermic syringe is inserted through the top of the vial. The syringe is then positioned so that the plunger side of one of the finger flanges engages a finger flange support. The finger flange support resists movement of the syringe while the plunger is withdrawn, filling the barrel of the syringe from the vial. The vial and needle are at least partially supported throughout the filling process.
