A disposable transfer device has an injection device support surface for receiving an on-body injection device thereon and a flow path arrangement for transfer of fluid into the injection device, the transfer device being configured to define preferential gripping areas for user gripping of an injection device when such device is located on the support surface and interfering areas for interfering with user gripping of the injection device in the interfering areas.

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 device holder (20) that holds a transfer device (800) is provided on a stage (10). The device (800) includes a first connector (810) to which a first container (910) is connectable, a second connector (820) to which a second container (950) is connectable, and a connection port (850) to which a syringe (980) is connectable. The stage (10) can be turned to a first turning position where the first connector (810) is located higher than the second connector (820) and a second turning position where the second connector (820) is located higher than the first connector (810). A second container holder (50) that holds the second container (950) coaxially with the second connector (820) turns together with the stage (10) and can be linearly moved along a direction of an axis of the second connector (820).

A drug mixing system including at least one receptacle port adaptor adapted to be inserted into a port of a fluid receptacle, at least one syringe adaptor adapted to be attached to a syringe and to the at least one receptacle port adaptor and at least one vial adaptor adapted for connection to a vial containing a drug and adapted for connection to the at least one syringe adaptor, the system being characterized in that at least one of the receptacle port adaptor, the at least one syringe adaptor and the at least one vial adaptor being vented to the atmosphere in a manner which prevents release to the atmosphere of possibly harmful contents of the vial in a liquid, solid or gaseous form.

Systems and devices for interfacing between a medicinal vial, a hypodermic needle, and an injection device such as a syringe, comprising a valve, functionally associated with said vial adaptor, said injection device port, and said needle, said valve having a first orientation wherein said injection device port is in fluid flow communication with said vial adaptor and a second orientation wherein said injection device port is in fluid flow communication with said hypodermic needle, wherein rotation of said injection device port between a first position and a second position thereof, drives transition of said valve from said first orientation to said second orientation.

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 system for drawing a solution is provided. The system includes a filter, a vacuum source, and an actuator. The filter has an input port, a first output port, a second output port, and a flow path defined in part by the input port and the second output port. The vacuum source is in fluid communication with the first output port and operative to apply a vacuum to the flow path. The actuator is operative to facilitate movement of the solution along the flow path.

A valve (116, 216) for an injection device (100) is disclosed, which valve is arranged to provide a fluid communication between a drug-filled container (102, 202) and a drug distribution system (101) for distributing a drug to an injection site during use of the device, wherein the valve is substantially cylindrically shaped and is arranged to be at least partly positioned within an outlet portion (123, 223) of the container so that, in an initial configuration, the valve tightly closes the outlet portion, wherein the valve is arranged to be moved through a first distance in a first direction partly into the con-tainer, whereby fluid communication is established through the outlet portion of the container, and wherein the valve is further arranged to be moved through a second distance in a second direction opposite of the first direction. Furthermore, an injection device (100) comprising such a valve (116, 126) is disclosed.
