A drug transfer device includes a housing, a vial attachment configured to secure the drug transfer device to a drug vial, a vial transfer member defining a passageway, a cannula received within the housing, with the cannula in fluid communication with the passageway of the vial transfer member and having a first end and a second end positioned opposite from the first end, a seal arrangement positioned within the housing, with the seal arrangement movable within the housing between a first position where the cannula is isolated from the first end of the housing and a second position where the cannula is configured to be in fluid communication with a mating connector received by the first end of the housing, and a connection member defining a passageway in fluid communication with the passageway of the vial transfer member, with the connection member configured to receive a mating connector.

A container system having at least two containers, wherein the container system comprises a light member which is configured to provide information through the emission of emission of chemiluminescent light, wherein the container system is configured to provide or trigger the light member to provide the information through the emission of light when a step related to preparation of a mixture of the contents of the containers is performed. In particular, triggering occurs when the containers are separated from one another and/or when a fluidic connection is created between the containers.

A filter medium includes two porous zones arranged in the form of a stack that include (i) a first porous zone, called “prefiltration”, treated with at least one reagent presenting affinity for red blood cells and leading to red blood cells being captured or agglutinated on the prefiltration zone; and (ii) a second porous zone, called “asymmetric”, presenting pore size that decreases transversely to its thickness, the portion of higher pore size being positioned towards the prefiltration zone.

The present invention relates to a connector for connecting a medical injection device, including a barrel and a needle extending from a distal tip of the barrel, to a container including a septum. The connector includes an inner deformable cover and an outer rigid cover. The inner deformable cover extends along a cover axis and includes a proximal connection part configured to engage the distal tip of the barrel and a distal portion. The outer rigid cover encloses the inner deformable cover and includes a distal adaptor configured to engage the container. The outer cover is configured so the needle tip extends into the distal adaptor when the proximal connection part of the inner deformable cover engages the distal tip of the barrel. The outer rigid cover is fixed to the inner deformable cover. The inner deformable cover is compressible between a relaxed configuration and a compressed configuration.

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 closure removably coupled to the container and an anti-suction valve fixed to the container that is configured to minimize formation of a complete seal between a user's mouth and an upper surface of the anti-suction valve so that sufficient suction to remove fluid from the container is blocked.

A connecting system for providing a fluidic connection, preferably between containers, wherein the connecting system has at least two connecting arrangements configured to produce the fluidic connection, the connecting arrangements each having an opening region which is fluidically sealed in an initial state and is, in particular, film-shaped, brittle, fragile and/or unstable, and wherein the opening regions are each covered in sterile or sterilizable manner.

A locking element for a connector configured to connect two components of a fluid transfer system and a connector that comprises the locking element are described. The connector comprising the locking element is configured to provide continuous fluid channels between a first component and a second component of a fluid transfer system, the fluid is a hazardous drug and the connector is designated for safe and contamination-free transfer of said hazardous drug from first to second container while isolating the needle tips and causing no dangerous and harmful leaks.

A liquid transfer device is described. The liquid transfer device comprising a vial adapter comprising a puncturing cannula for puncturing an injection vial stopper, an IV spike and a substitute IV port holder for receiving a substitute IV port, and a flow control member port. The IV spike, the substitute IV port holder and the puncturing cannula are in flow communication with the flow control member port. The liquid transfer device comprising a flow control member sealingly inserted in the flow control member port. Rotation of the flow control member between a plurality of positions controls flow communication of the liquid transfer device, the positions comprising a mixing position for enabling flow communication between the IV spike and the puncturing cannula; and an administering position for enabling flow communication between the IV spike and the substitute IV port holder.

A medicament transport system includes a syringe adapter assembly; and a vial adapter assembly including a base defining an opening having a seal member disposed therewithin, a stem extending from the base and defining a lumen therethrough and an opening through a wall thereof, a needle shuttle valve slidably disposed within the lumen of the stem and supporting a transfer needle and a vacuum needle; and a vacuum cup slidably supported on the stem, wherein a vacuum chamber is defined in the space between the base, the stem and the vacuum cup. The medicament transport system includes a condition where the transfer needle and the vacuum needles penetrate the seal member of the vial adapter assembly, and the vacuum cup is moved to draw a vacuum through the vacuum needle. An automation system is provided that utilizes a medicament transport system for forming a medicament solution from a liquid/non-liquid solution.

A container system having at least two containers, wherein the container system comprises a light member which is configured to provide information through the emission of light, wherein the container system is configured to provide or trigger the light member to provide the information through the emission of light when a step related to preparing a mixture of contents of the containers is performed. In particular, triggering occurs when the containers are separated from one another and/or when a fluidic connection is created between the containers.
