VIAL ADAPTER FOR DRAWING DRUGS FROM A VIAL
A vial adapter for reconstituting a drug and drawing a drug from a vial. The vial adapter includes a passageway for passage of a diluent into the vial to mix with and reconstitute the drug and a chamber containing the reconstituted drug drawn from the vial. A vacuum is applied through the adapter to draw the reconstituted drug from the vial. The reconstituted drug can be accessed in one or two ways, either via a luer locked syringe or via a needled syringe.
BONE FRAGMENT AND TISSUE PROCESSING SYSTEM
A tissue collection and processing system for collecting bone fragments and tissue aspirated from a bone. The tissue collection and processing system includes a collection vessel, a collection vessel cap, a processing cover, a first tubing and a fluid withdrawal mechanism. The collection vessel has an opening formed therein to receive bone fragments and tissue aspirated from the bone. The collection vessel cap is capable of engaging the collection vessel to substantially seal the opening. The collection vessel cap or the collection vessel has a first port. The processing cover has an upper surface and a lower surface. The processing cover has a connection port and a bore. The connection port is proximate the upper surface. The bore is fluidly connected to the connection port and extends toward the lower surface. The processing cover has a density that is less than a density of fluid in the aspirated bone fragments and tissue. The fluid withdrawal mechanism is fluidly connected to the connection port with the first tubing to withdraw the fluid from the collection vessel. As fluid is withdrawn from the collection vessel, the processing cover is slidable in the collection vessel.
SYSTEMS AND APPROACHES FOR DRUG DELIVERY DEVICE RECONSTITUTION
Methods of preparing a drug for delivery and drug delivery systems for achieving the same are disclosed. A method of preparing a drug for delivery may include providing a diluent contained in a diluent container and providing a drug product contained within a drug product container. The method may further include fluidly connecting the diluent container and the drug product container. Additionally the method may include urging, via a pump, at least a portion of the diluent from the diluent container into the drug product container to at least partially reconstitute the drug product.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING MIXTURES
A system for producing a mixture to deliver to a treatment site. A multi-lumen chamber can be connected to a proximal end of a mixing lumen and include a first lumen aligned and adjacent a second lumen. The first lumen can be configured to include a first constituent in a proximal portion of the first lumen and a second constituent in a distal portion of the first lumen. A first plunger can be internally positioned within the first lumen to distally move the first constituent into the distal portion to mix with the second constituent in a first state to form a first mixture. The first lumen can terminate in a first port. The second lumen is configured to include a third constituent. A second plunger is internally positioned within the second lumen to distally move the third constituent and the first mixture.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING MIXTURES
A system is disclosed for producing a mixture to deliver to a treatment site. The system includes a mixing lumen attachable to a proximal end of a delivery system. A multi-lumen chamber can be removably connected to a proximal end of the mixing lumen and include a first lumen aligned with a second lumen. The first lumen can be configured to comprise a first constituent in a first state. The first lumen can include a first plunger to move the first constituent from the first lumen to the mixing lumen. The first lumen can terminate in a first port. The second lumen can be configured to include a second constituent. The second lumen can include a second plunger to distally move the second constituent and terminate in a second port. A vial adaptor can be included with a vial having a third constituent.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING MIXTURES
A system is disclosed for producing a mixture to deliver to a treatment site. The system can include a first chamber with an inner cavity including a first constituent and an outer cavity concentric with the first cavity and including a second constituent. A partition can be openable and separate the first and second cavities. A second chamber can include a third constituent and be concentric with the first chamber. Moving the first chamber and/or the second chamber relative to the other can cause the partition to open so that the first constituent and the second constituent mix with each other to form a first mixture. Applying a force to the system can cause the first mixture and the third constituent to egress through distal portions of the first and second chambers and mix together to form the mixture for delivery to the treatment site.
Bag containing a biopharmaceutical product and probe holder port for such a product
A bag for containing a biopharmaceutical product includes at least one fluid input/output port and a measurement opening remote from the fluid port. A probe holder port has a body with an axial through-bore and a peripheral collar with a second fastening zone and defining a fastening plane. A contact probe, extending in the axial through-bore, is assembled on the probe holder port, has an active measurement end portion in contact with the product, and has an end portion opposite the end portion. The probe holder port includes a transition portion between the body and the collar, which extends between a radially central end portion of the collar and a first axial end portion of the body. The first axial end portion is the axial end portion closest to the radially central end portion of the collar. The first axial end portion is disposed on the outer side relative to the fastening plane, and the active measurement end portion is axially disposed on the outer side relative to the fastening plane.
Liquid medication dispenser
A liquid medication dispenser is provided having a dispenser housing with a housing interior. A plurality of syringe openings may be provided in the dispenser housing. A housing lid may be carried by the dispenser housing. A plurality of medication container seats may be provided in the housing lid. A plurality of medication dispensing openings may be provided in the plurality of medication container seats, respectively. A face plate may be carried by the dispenser housing. A plurality of syringe barrel cavities may be provided in the face plate and disposed in aligned or registering relationship with respect to the plurality of syringe openings, respectively. The syringe barrel cavities may have different sizes. A plurality of medication distribution assemblies may establish fluid communication between the plurality of medication dispensing openings, respectively, and the plurality of syringe openings, respectively.
RECONSTITUTION VIAL MIXING APPARATUS
A medicinal vial reconstitution and IV dispensing device includes a bifurcated receptacle adapted to engage a medicinal vial, and a valve or barrier for selectively opening and closing the medicinal vial from fluidic communication with the patient IV line. The reconstitution device mixes medication with saline solution from an IV bag through a dedicated channel. The reconstitution device receives a medication vial containing the powdered medication. The reconstituted medication is then passed back into the IV bag for uniform mixing. A flow control element ensures fluid flow only from the vial to the bag. Once mixed, the reconstituted medication achieves a desired concentration in the IV bag. The (now medicated) saline solution in the IV bag is dispensed back through the reconstitution device via an IV line to the patient, and the flow control element redirects fluid only to the IV line and prevents any backflow with the vial.
Needleless cartridge for automatic drug compounder
Various aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a compounder system having a cartridge that includes fluid pathways controllable by valves of the cartridge. A pump component within the cartridge is actuable to move fluid through the controllable fluid pathways. The cartridge includes a needleless fluid port and a needleless vent port for fluid coupling to a vial via a vial puck. The vial puck includes corresponding needleless fluid and vent ports and a cannula. The cannula is extendible, by insertion of a protrusion on the cartridge into a shaft of the vial puck, into the vial to couple the vial to the needleless fluid and vent ports.
