A vial adapter assembly that includes a housing, a first receptacle formed within the housing and configured to receive a first vial within the housing, and a second receptacle formed within the housing and configured to receive a second vial within the housing. An opening of the first receptacle and an opening of the second receptacle is in fluid communication with the upper surface of the housing. The vial adapter assembly includes a cap that is coupled and movable relative to the housing from a closed configuration to an open configuration. In the closed configuration, the cap is configured to cover the opening of the first receptacle and the opening of the second receptacle on the upper surface. In the open configuration, the cap is configured to uncover the opening of the first receptacle and the opening of the second receptacle, and expose the upper surface.

A system and method is described for printing a label with an RFID tag. The system includes an RFID reader that queries a first RFID tag coupled to a first medicinal container that includes a medication. In response, the system receives a first unique identifier and uses the first unique identifier to determine a status of the medication, associate the first medicinal container with a medical provider and print a second label that includes a second RFID tag for a second medicinal container.

An injectable medication tab used to track expiration dates has an informative tab, a release string, an adhesive liner, and a quick release fastener. The informative tab provides visually accessible information about a bottle to which the injectable medication tab is attached. An expiration information portion of the informative tab protrudes from the exterior surface of the bottle after being opened. The adhesive liner is superimposed onto a mounting surface of the informative tab and attaches the informative tab to the bottle. The quick release fastener is a coupling mechanism that connects between an edge of the informative tab and the release string. The release string forms a detachable connection holding the expiration information portion against the bottle until the bottle is opened. Once opened, the expiration information section to protrudes from the bottle until the expiration information is recorded and the medical information portion is adhered to the bottle.

A shield for a port closure of a medical container includes housing comprising two movably connected housing segments, each having a hollow interior and an open end, movable between open and closed orientations. A lock assembly is structured to define a fixed locked connection between the housing segments in the closed orientation and includes first and second lock members connected within different ones of the housing segments in a non-accessible location when the housing segments are in the closed orientation. A retainer is disposed within the housing in a capturing orientation relative to the closure therein, concurrent to the closed orientation. A latch assembly is connected to the housing segments and structured to retain said housing segments in said closed orientation, independently of and concurrently with the fixed locked connection of the lock assembly.

In one aspect of the subject invention, a labeling shell is provided for a drug vial having a glass reservoir and an opening sealed by an elastomeric stopper, the labeling shell including: a polymeric tubular body formed to accommodate the reservoir of the drug vial, the tubular body having a first open end defining a first opening smaller than a diameter of the reservoir of the drug vial so as to prevent passage therethrough of the reservoir, wherein the elastomeric stopper is exposed through the first end with the reservoir being accommodated in the tubular body; and, a polymeric cap removably mountable to the tubular body to selectively cover the elastomeric stopper of the drug vial with the reservoir being accommodated in the tubular body. Advantageously, the subject invention provides a labeling surface for a drug vial, while also providing restricted access to the drug vial to limit tampering therewith.
