1. A drug vial spiking assembly, comprising:
- a drug vial spike device comprising a spike extending from a base, the spike having a tip opposite the base; and
a cover secured to the drug vial spike device, the cover being movable toward the base from a first position in which the cover at least partially covers the tip of the spike to a second position in which the tip of the spike is fully exposed,wherein a plurality of circumferentially spaced projections extend from a surface of the cover, and the circumferentially spaced projections and one or more portions of a cap of a drug vial are configured to dent a rubber seal of the drug vial when the drug vial is pressed against the cover with sufficient force to cause the cover to move from the first position to the second position.

18. A fluid line set, comprising:
-
a plurality of fluid lines; a plurality of drug vial spike devices, each of the drug vial spike devices connected to one of the fluid lines, and each of the drug vial spike devices comprising a spike extending from a base, the spike of each drug vial spike device having a tip opposite the base; and a plurality of covers, each of the covers secured to one the drug vial spike devices, each cover being movable toward the base from a first position in which the cover at least partially covers the tip of the spike of the spike device to which the cover is secured to a second position in which the tip of the spike of the spike device to which the cover is secured is fully exposed, wherein a plurality of circumferentially spaced projections extend from each of the covers, and the circumferentially spaced projections and one or more portions of a cap of a drug vial are configured to dent a rubber seal of the drug vial when the drug vial is pressed against each of the covers with sufficient force to cause the cover to move from the first position to the second position. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
