Drug container closure for mounting on open-topped drug container to form drug reconstitution assemblage for use with needleless syringe

A drug container closure for mounting on an open-topped drug container to form a ready-to-use drug reconstitution assemblage for use with a needleless syringe. The drug container closure includes a drug container stopper for sealing the drug container and a fluid transfer member with an integral needleless syringe connector and a puncturing cannula. The fluid transfer member is manually disposed along a diametric inverted L-shaped track pair from an initial non-puncturing position to a puncturing position. The inverted L-shaped track pair includes one-way snap members to prevent a user returning the fluid transfer member to an earlier position and indicating progress of the user activation.

Liquid drug transfer devices employing manual rotation for dual flow communication step actuations

Liquid drug transfer devices employing manual rotation of a drug vial adapter with respect to a liquid container adapter for dual flow communication step actuation for establishing flow communication between a liquid container containing liquid contents and an initially intact, namely, non-punctured, drug vial. Manual rotation compacts a liquid drug transfer device along a longitudinal device axis for urging a puncturing tip through a drug vial stopper during a drug vial flow communication step for flow communication with a drug vial interior. Manual rotation also executes a liquid container flow communication step for flow communication with a liquid container, therefore establishing flow communication between a drug vial and a liquid container.

NEEDLE-LESS VIAL ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH NEEDLE-FREE SYSTEM
20170281468 · 2017-10-05 ·

A needle-less vial assembly that includes a substance transfer assembly configured to telescopically engage with a vial neck of a vial. A first portion of the substance transfer assembly is configured to sealingly engage with an interior wall of the vial neck, where the first portion includes a first inlet configured to receive a substance from the vial. A second portion of the substance transfer assembly is configured to matingly engage with a syringe, and includes an outlet configured to dispense the substance to the syringe. A channel is defined through the first portion and the second portion, thereby enabling fluid communication of the substance from the vial to the syringe via the first inlet and the outlet.

Integrated medicine mixing interface

An integrated medicine mixing interface comprising a medicine mixing mouth (1), hard double interfaces (2) and a medicine feed needle (3). The hard double interfaces (2) comprise a base (21), a medicine mixing interface (22) and an infusion interface (23). The medicine mixing mouth (1) and the medicine mixing interface (22) are integrated. When using the integrated medicine mixing interface, it is only necessary to weld the base (21) to the bag body of a soft infusion bag (11) and integrate the medicine mixing mouth (1) with the medicine mixing interface on the hard double interfaces (2) without adopting a hose connection and an easily folding handle, which not only reduces hose installation location, but also avoids welding leakage brought about by hose welding defects. Moreover, the structure is simple and the costs are low.

DRUG POWDERIZATION WITHIN VIALS

A method of powderizing a dry cake pharmaceutical drug product for injection within a vial may include securing a vial containing a dry cake pharmaceutical drug product for injection to a shaker device and powderizing the dry cake pharmaceutical drug product within the vial by shaking the vial with the shaker device operated at between about 100 to about 5000 cycles per minute for between about 10 minutes and about 1 hour.

Connector for fluid communication

A fluid connector for selectively establishing fluid communication between a first medical container and a second medical container is provided. The fluid connector includes an adapter configured to removably attach to the first container. The adapter includes an access port and a cap. The connector further includes an outer sleeve connected to the adapter and a tubular body retained at least partially within the outer sleeve. The body has a proximal end connected to the adapter and a distal end connected to the second container. The fluid connector is transitionable from a first position in which the first container and the second container are in fluid isolation to a second position in which the first container and the second container are in fluid communication. At least a portion of the cap of the adapter is retained within the outer sleeve.

Pediatric dosing dispenser

A package that is configured to store and dispense fluids. The package includes a container and a dosing dispenser for closing an opening to the container. The dosing dispenser includes a body portion having a syringe receiver that is configured to receive a syringe to remove fluid from the container.

Methods and apparatus for isolation of white blood cells using a multiposition valve

Kits and methods provide for the isolation of white blood cells from bodily fluids. In one exemplary aspect, a method for isolating white blood cells from blood includes the act of adding a blood sample to a separation tube having a distal end, a proximal end, and a valve located proximate said proximal end, said valve being configured to transition between at least first, second, and third positions. The method also includes the act of removably attaching a cap to the distal end, centrifuging the separation tube with the valve in the first position, removing the cap at the distal end of the separation tube and removably attaching a first syringe to the proximal end, switching the valve to the second position and withdrawing, via the first syringe, a red blood cell sediment. The method also includes the act of switching the valve to the first position and removing the first syringe, adding a small volume of buffer to the separation tube, removably attaching a cap to the distal end and centrifuging the separation tube and removing the cap at the distal end of the separation tube and removably attaching a second syringe to the proximal end. Additional acts include switching the valve to the second position, withdrawing the remaining red blood cell sediment via the second syringe and switching the valve to the first position and removing the second syringe.
