Abstract

A reconstitution device is disclosed and includes a first container receiver having a first component cannula disposed therein, the first component cannula having a withdrawal port and a first transfer port formed thereon, a second container receiver having a second component cannula disposed thereon, the second component cannula having a vent port and a second transfer port formed thereon, a device body coupling the first container receiver to the second container receiver and having a transfer lumen formed therein, the transfer lumen in fluid communication with the first and second transfer ports, a selectively sealing interface secured to the device body and in fluid communication with the withdrawal port, and a venting member in communication with the vent port through a vent lumen.

Claims

1. A reconstitution device, comprising:

a first container receiver having a first component cannula disposed therein, the first component cannula having a withdrawal port and a first transfer port formed thereon;

a second container receiver having a second component cannula disposed thereon, the second component cannula having a vent port and a second transfer port formed thereon;

a device body coupling the first container receiver to the second container receiver and having a transfer lumen formed therein, the transfer lumen in fluid communication with the first and second transfer ports;

a selectively sealing interface secured to the device body and in fluid communication with the withdrawal port; and

a venting member in communication with the vent port through a vent lumen.

2. The device of claim 1 further comprising a telescoping extension positioned within the transfer lumen and configured to controllably extend into the first container receiver.

3. The device of claim 1 wherein the first cannula is configured to be positioned proximate to a base of a container attached thereto.

4. The device of claim 3 wherein the withdrawal port is positioned proximate to the device body.

5. The device of claim 1 further comprising a first container stop and a first container collar both defining a first container orifice.

6. The device of claim 1 further comprising at least one first container locking member positioned on the first container collar and configured to detachably couple a first container to the reconstitution device.

7. The device of claim 1 further comprising a second container stop and a second container collar both defining a second container orifice.

8. The device of claim 1 further comprising at least one second container locking member positioned on the second container collar and configured to detachably couple a second container to the reconstitution device.

9. The device of claim 1 further comprising a removable cap configured detachably couple to the selectively sealing interface.

10. The device of claim 1 further comprising a filter secured to the venting port and configured to filter air traversing therethrough.

11-13. -13. (canceled)

14. A reconstitution device, comprising:

a first container receiver having a first component cannula disposed therein, the first component cannula having a withdrawal port and a first transfer port formed thereon;

a second container receiver having a second component cannula disposed thereon, the second component cannula having a vent port and a second transfer port formed thereon;

a device body coupling the first container receiver to the second container receiver and having a transfer lumen formed therein, the transfer lumen in fluid communication with the first and second transfer ports;

a telescoping extension positioned within the transfer lumen and configured to controllably extend into the first container receiver;

a selectively sealing interface secured to the device body and in fluid communication with the withdrawal port; and

a venting member in communication with the vent port through a vent lumen.

15. The device of claim 14 further comprising a extension stop positioned within the transfer lumen and configured to retain at least a portion of the telescoping extension within the transfer lumen.

16. A reconstitution device, comprising:

a first container receiver having a first component cannula configured to be positioned proximate to a base of a container attached thereto disposed therein, the first component cannula having a withdrawal port and a first transfer port formed thereon;

a second container receiver having a second component cannula disposed thereon, the second component cannula having a vent port and a second transfer port formed thereon;

a device body coupling the first container receiver to the second container receiver and having a transfer lumen formed therein, the transfer lumen in fluid communication with the first and second transfer ports;

a selectively sealing interface secured to the device body and in fluid communication with the withdrawal port; and

a venting member in communication with the vent port through a vent lumen.
