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.

A vial access device includes an outer housing defining an annular space and an inner space, an inner housing, and a connector configured to engage a mating connector with the connector having a body defining a central passageway and a flange that extends radially outward from the body. The flange and the housing defining a filter space that is in fluid communication with the annular space. A pressure equalization system is positioned within the annular space of the outer housing. The device also includes a vial connection element configured to be secured to a vial and having a body and a spike member extending from the body. The spike member defining a fluid passageway and a vent passageway with the fluid passageway in fluid communication with the central passageway of the connector and the vent passageway in fluid communication with the filter space and the annular space.

The present invention relates to a filtering injection needle assembly for a syringe, and more particularly, to an apparatus for further facilitating suction of an injection liquid. The filtering injection needle assembly includes an injection needle (100) including a needle (110) and a hub (120); and a cap (200) configured to receive the needle (110) and including a filter (210), wherein the hub (200) is formed with a through-hole (121) for communication between an inside and an outside of the hub, and opening/closing of the through-hole (121) is controlled by a one-way valve means (300). The filtering injection needle assembly blocks foreign substances introduced into the syringe, thereby enhancing safety, and wherein the filtering injection needle assembly has various types of one-way valve means provided in the hub of the injection needle to further facilitate the suction of the injection liquid.

A transfer device for filing a fluid reservoir of a fluid infusion device with a fluid is provided. The transfer device comprises a first end to couple to a source of the fluid, and a second end to couple to a pressurizing device. The transfer device also comprises a body interconnecting the first end and the second end, and having an end to couple to the fluid reservoir. The body defining at least one fluid flow path between the source of the fluid, the pressurizing device and the fluid reservoir to enable the filling of the fluid reservoir with the fluid.

A device for packaging, conserving, and extemporaneously preparing a plurality of active principles, including a reservoir having a compartment for containing a volume of liquid, the reservoir including a neck defining a dispenser opening; a head that is movable relative to the reservoir between a first distal position for conservation and a second proximate position for preparation; a leaktight closure mechanism; and a rupture mechanism for rupturing the closure mechanism. The closure mechanism is formed by a blister that contains at least two active principles and has at least two compartments, each compartment containing an active principle. The blister is fastened on the neck of the reservoir so as to close it, such that after opening the blister by the rupture mechanism, the active principles enter into contact with the liquid and dissolve therein.

Methods and devices are provided for filling one or more syringes with a liquid, essentially without air being trapped with the liquid in the one or more syringes. A temporary storage volumea buffer memberis used to temporarily hold the liquid and allow air to be removed from the liquid in the syringe. The size and/or shape of the temporary storage volumealso referred to as intermediate volumeallows the air to be removed more easily compared to the size and/or shape of a main volume of the one or more syringes.
