The invention relates to a vial adaptor. The vial adaptor comprises a syringe connection port. The syringe connection port is configured to be connected to a syringe. The vial adaptor further comprises a vial connection port. The vial connection port comprises a skirt and a spike. The spike has a lumen forming a fluid channel. The vial adaptor further comprises a conduit configured to provide fluid flow between the syringe connection port and the vial connection port. The vial adaptor further comprises a valve for selectively blocking and allowing fluid flow between the syringe and the conduit through the syringe connection port when the syringe is connected to the syringe connection port. This constitutes an improved solution for connecting a syringe and a vial.

Multi-medicament infusion systems prevent cross-channeling of medicaments. A system may include one or more of an infusion pump, medicament reservoirs, a multi-channel fluid conduit, and an infusion set. Medicament reservoirs and/or collars may be sized and shaped differently such that the medicament reservoirs can only be inserted into the system under selected configurations.

The mixing system includes an adaptor, an integrated injection device removably attached to the adaptor comprising a switching element, a first reservoir containing a fluidic first material, and a trigger. The adaptor includes a first attachment location configured to attach a vial. The vial contains a second material within a second reservoir, wherein the second material contains a medicament formulation. The adaptor also includes a first connection element, a flow channel providing fluid communication of the switching element and the first connection element, a sensing arrangement for detecting a pre-defined position of the vial at the first attachment location, and an interlock element which is configured to allow operation of the trigger in order to establish a fluid communication between the first connection element and the first reservoir only if the sensing arrangement detects the pre-defined position of the vial at the first attachment location.

A disposable fluid transfer and mixing device is disclosed and includes an injector support surface for receiving an injection device thereon. A lyophilized drug vial, a diluent vial and a syringe are also attached to the device. The device features fluid passageways and a manual valve that may be manipulated so that the syringe may be used to transfer diluent from the diluent vial to the lyophilized drug vial, for reconstitution of the drug. The valve may also be configured so that the reconstituted drug is transferred from the lyophilized drug vial to the injection device. An automated transfer and mixing device receives an injection device, a lyophilized drug vial and a diluent vial and transfers diluent from the diluent vial to the lyophilized drug vial and shakes or vibrates the lyophilized drug vial to reconstitute the drug. The device then transfers the reconstituted drug from the lyophilized drug vial to the injection device.

A cellular medicine transfer system includes: an adapter for a cellular medicine container including a first flow channel and a second flow channel through each of which a liquid and cells can flow; a cellular medicine container to which the adapter is attached, and in which a cellular medicine to be transferred is stored; an administration medium storage container that communicates with the first flow channel, and in which an administration medium is stored; a collection container for collecting a cellular medicine, that communicates with the second flow channel of the adapter; and a powering device that imparts motive power for transferring the administration medium from the administration medium storage container through the first flow channel to the cellular medicine container, and for transferring the cellular medicine and the administration medium from the cellular medicine container through the second flow channel to the collection container.

A carousel configured to house a plurality of pump cartridges for a compounder system is provided. The carousel may include a plurality of cartridge pockets each having an extended portion that covers a portion of a cartridge and a bottom surface Shaving an extension with a recess. The bottom surface recess of each cartridge pocket may be shaped and sized to receive a needle housing of a pump cartridge in the cartridge pocket. A recess may be provided in the extended portion of each pocket that receives a protrusion that extends from a top surface of a backpack coupled to the pump cartridge to secure the pump cartridge in the cartridge pocket. The bottom surface recess may have an additional bottom surface that prevents actuation of the needle housing of the pump cartridge.

A system for storing a blood product includes an inner container configured to contain the blood product, wherein the inner container is permeable to a gas system, and an outer container including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a cavity defined between the first and second ends, an inlet in fluid communication with the cavity, and a valve operable to control a flow of the gas system through the inlet. The inner container is insertable into the cavity through the first end, the first end is sealable to hermetically seal the inner container within the cavity, and the outer container is made of a material that is impermeable to the gas system.

Apparatus, systems, methods and articles are described to prepare and track medications and medication containers as they are prepared, administered to patients and, in some cases, disposed of. Information such as medication type, concentration, and volume are associated with medication containers during preparation and this information can later be consumed/utilized when administering the medication from a container to a patient. Disposing of any remaining medication can also be tracked.

In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor comprises a housing configured to couple the adaptor with a vial, an access channel, a regulator channel, and a regulator assembly. The access channel is configured to facilitate withdrawal of fluid from the vial when the adaptor is coupled to the vial. The regulator channel is configured to facilitate a flow of a regulating fluid from the regulator assembly to compensate for changes in volume of a medical fluid in the vial. The regulator assembly can include a valve configured to transition between a closed configuration and an opened configuration.

A syringe adapter includes a housing having a first end and a second end positioned opposite the first end, with the housing including a connector body positioned at the first end of the housing and configured to be secured to a syringe barrel, a cannula positioned within the housing, with the cannula defining a transfer opening and a valve opening, a seal arrangement positioned within the housing and movable within the housing, and an aspiration assembly comprising an aspiration housing defining an aspiration opening, a filter received by the aspiration housing, and one-way valve received by the aspiration housing, where the valve opening of the cannula is positioned within the aspiration housing, and where air is configured to flow into the filter via the aspiration opening, into the one-way valve, and into the valve opening of the cannula.
