Liquid transfer device with dual lumen iv spike

Abstract

A liquid transfer device includes a barrel to fluidly connect to an infusion set, a vial adapter in communication with a vial adapter lumen and having a vial spike, and an intravenous (IV) spike to be sealingly inserted into an intravenous administration port of a container of an infusion liquid. The vial spike punctures a stopper of a vial containing a medicament. The IV spike has a first IV spike lumen fluidly connected to the vial adapter lumen and a second IV spike lumen fluidly connected to the infusion set. The liquid transfer device defines a first fluid path through the vial adapter lumen and the first IV spike lumen to introduce medicament from the vial to the container. The liquid transfer device also defines a second fluid path through the second IV spike lumen to pass the medicated infusion liquid from the container to the infusion set.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A liquid transfer device comprising:
 a barrel configured to fluidly connect to an infusion set;   a vial adapter in communication with a vial adapter lumen and having a vial spike, the vial spike being configured to puncture a stopper of a vial containing a medicament, and the vial adapter being configured to receive the vial; and   an intravenous (IV) spike configured to be sealingly inserted into an intravenous administration port of a container of an infusion liquid, the IV spike having a first IV spike lumen fluidly connected to the vial adapter lumen, and a second IV spike lumen fluidly connected to the infusion set,   wherein the liquid transfer device defines a first fluid path and a second fluid path, the first fluid path is through the vial adapter lumen and the first IV spike lumen to introduce medicament from the vial to the container for mixing with the infusion liquid to form a medicated infusion liquid, and the second fluid path is through the second IV spike lumen to pass the medicated infusion liquid from the container to the infusion set.   
     
     
         2 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , comprising a monolithic trifurcated connector body including at least one of the barrel, the vial adapter, and/or the IV spike. 
     
     
         3 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , wherein the first IV spike lumen has a first peripherally disposed distal aperture, the second IV spike lumen has a second peripherally disposed distal aperture, and the first peripherally disposed distal aperture is distal of the second peripherally disposed distal aperture along the IV spike. 
     
     
         4 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , wherein the barrel is connected to an IV port configured to sealingly receive a port spike of the infusion set to connect to the infusion set. 
     
     
         5 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 4 , wherein the IV port is integrally formed or permanently secured to the barrel. 
     
     
         6 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 4 , wherein the IV port includes a septum configured to be punctured by the port spike of the infusion set. 
     
     
         7 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 6 , wherein the IV port includes a removable member proximal of the septum. 
     
     
         8 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , wherein the first IV spike lumen and the second IV spike lumen extend parallel to one another. 
     
     
         9 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , further comprising a flat surface distal of the second IV spike lumen. 
     
     
         10 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , wherein the vial adapter has a flexible and/or flared skirt. 
     
     
         11 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , wherein the vial adapter is configured to snap onto the vial. 
     
     
         12 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , further comprising a valve in the first fluid path or the second fluid path. 
     
     
         13 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 12 , further comprising an IV port fluidly connected with the second IV spike lumen with the valve in an open position and fluidly disconnected from the second IV spike lumen with the valve in a closed position. 
     
     
         14 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , wherein the barrel is aligned with the IV spike, and the vial adapter angularly bifurcated from the IV spike. 
     
     
         15 . The liquid transfer device of  claim 1 , wherein the vial spike is integral to the vial adapter.
