Description
- The present invention relates to a fluid access assembly as defined in the preamble of
claim 1 and a method for preparing a liquid drug. - In EP 0 637 443, there is illustrated and described a fluid access assembly (10) having a vial access pin (12) and an ampoule access tube (14) for enabling access to a liquid drug contained either in a vial or an ampoule, respectively. The vial access pin (12) has a mounting hub (20) constituted by a female Luer connector, a flange (30) and a cannula (36) with a piercing end and on which the ampoule access tube (14) is sealingly and detachably mounted for aspiration of an ampoule's contents. The fluid access assembly does not facilitate neither the handling nor the discarding of a spent vessel and particularly an ampoule. In particular, it is relatively difficult to slide an opened ampoule's opened end which is of a small cross section area onto the ampoule access tube whilst its attendant exposed sharp edge when opened further militates against convenient use and its discarding when spent.
- In one procedure to prepare a syringe with a liquid drug, a needle is typically attached to an initially empty syringe for insertion into a previously opened ampoule for aspirating its contents thereinto. Thereafter, the syringe is employed for puncturing a vial's stopper so that the syringe's contents can be injected thereinto for mixing with the vial's contents. Finally, the vial's contents are aspirated into the syringe for injection to a patient, another vial or a Y-site fitting of an intravenous set. In this procedure, in addition to the above mentioned difficulties, the needle which is required for a subsequent step is often shorter than an ampoule and therefore militates against aspirating all of its contents.
- In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fluid access assembly for use with a syringe in accordance with
claim 1. - The ampoule adapter of the present invention affords easier handling of an ampoule by virtue of its gripping members which facilitates sliding an ampoule onto its cannula. Additionally, the body portion of the ampoule adapter precludes injury from an opened ampoule's exposed sharp edge during handling and also provides for safer discarding of a spent ampoule together therewith. The fluid access assembly of the present invention can be employed as a universal adapter for use with either an ampoule or a vial and can be employed for mixing liquid drugs in a convenient manner.
- In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing a syringe with a liquid drug from one component contained in a vial having a stopper and another component contained in an ampoule having a frangible end and a sealed end, in accordance with
claim 9. - The method of the present invention provides for a convenient preparation of a liquid drug mixed from at least two components by the fluid access assembly of the present invention thereby affording safer and easier handling of spent parts and in particular a spent ampoule.
- In order to understand the invention and to see how it may be carried out in practice, preferred embodiments will now be described, by way of non-limiting examples only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 is a pictorial view of a vial, an ampoule and an empty syringe for use with a fluid access assembly of the present invention for the preparation of the syringe with a liquid drug;

- In Figure 1, a
fluid access assembly 1 includes avial adapter 2 and anampoule adapter 3 for preparing asyringe 4 with a liquid drug mixed from a first component stored in avial 6 having a mouth portion 7 housing arubber stopper 8 and a second component stored in anampoule 9 having afrangible end 10 and a sealedend 11. In this case, thevial 6 contains a dry powder, however, it can equally contain a liquid component. - In Figure 2, the
vial adapter 2 has afirst cannula 12 having a female Luer® connector 13 (constituting a proximal portion) for sealingly receiving a syringe's male Luer® connector and a puncturing member 14 (constituting a distal portion) for piercing the vial'sstopper 8. Thefirst cannula 12 has aflange 16 disposed along a central portion thereof, theflange 16 having four resilientlyflexible gripping members 17 shaped and dimensioned to snap fit under the vial's mouth portion 7 on the insertion of thevial 6 into the vial adapter 2 (see Figure 4). Thefirst cannula 12 is dimensioned so as to be slightly longer than the thickness of the vial's stopper 8 (see Figure 4) for facilitating aspiration all of the vial's contents. - The
ampoule adapter 3 has atubular shroud 18 constituting a body portion and attached to asecond cannula 19 having aproximal portion 19A and adistal portion 19B terminating in a V-shaped tip 21, theshroud 18 having aflange 22 with a downward dependingrim 23 substantially co-directional with thesecond cannula 19. Two pairs of oppositely disposed grippingmembers 24 downwardly depend from therim 23 and are co-directional with thesecond cannula 19. Theampoule adapter 3 is longitudinally dimensioned to receive substantially the entire openedampoule 6 when fully inserted therein i.e. when further insertion is prevented by thecannula tip 21 abutting against the ampoule's sealedend 11. On such insertion, the ampoule's opened end is received in theshroud 18 and the grippingmembers 24 friction fit grip substantially its entire periphery (see Figure 3). - In the assembled state of the
fluid access assembly 1, theampoule adapter 3 is detachably mounted on thevial adapter 2 by means of its second cannula'sproximal portion 19A being initially sealingly and detachably mounted on thepuncturing member 14. - The use of the
fluid access assembly 1 for preparing an initially empty syringe with a reconstituted drug is now described with reference to Figures 5A-5F. Thesyringe 4 is inserted into the ampoule adapter's female Luer ® connector 13 (see Figure 5A). Theampoule 9 is broken open and fully slided up thesecond cannula 19 until the cannula'stip 21 abuts against its sealedend 11 whereby its openedend 10 is contained within the ampoule adapter'sshroud 18 and its lower portion is gripped by the gripping members 24 (see Figure 5A). The ampoule's contents are aspirated into the syringe 4 (see Figure 5B). Theampoule adapter 3 is detached from thevial adapter 2 together with thespent ampoule 9 and discarded (see Figure 5C). Thevial 6 is positively inserted into thevial adapter 2 so that itspuncturing member 14 punctures the vial's stopper 8 (see Figure 5D). The syringe's contents are injected into thevial 6 which is then shaken so as to reconstitute the dry powder concentrate contained therein. The reconstituted drug is aspirated into thesyringe 4 which is then removed from thevial adapter 2 which is then discarded together with thespent vial 6. - While the invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, it will be appreciated that many variations, modifications and other applications of the invention can be made by those ordinarily skilled in the art.
- In particular, an ampoule adapter can have a telescopic second cannula whereby it is suitable for use with ampoules of different lengths. In particular, Figures 6A and 6B show an
ampoule adapter 26 having asecond cannula 27 with aproximal portion 27A rigidly attached to itsshroud 18 and adistal portion 27B slidingly mounted on theproximal portion 27A, thedistal portion 27B being initially extendingly mounted on theproximal portion 27A for sliding up thereon on the full insertion of ashort ampoule 28 into theampoule adapter 26. In a similar fashion, Figures 7A and 7B show anampoule adapter 29 having asecond cannula 31 with an initially extended compressible bellows-like portion 31A whereupon the bellows-like portion 31A is at least partly compacted on the full insertion of theshort ampoule 28 into theampoule adapter 29. - In addition, an ampoule adapter has gripping members which can be suitable for use with ampoules of different widths. In particular, Figures 8A-8C show an
ampoule adapter 32 withgripping members 33 each having alower portion 33A urgable from a normal inwardly radially disposed state toward thesecond cannula 19 for gripping a small diameter ampoule 34 (see Figure 8B) to a flexed outwardly radially disposed state for gripping a large diameter ampoule 36 (see Figure 8C). Alternatively, Figures 9A-9D shows anampoule adapter 37 with grippingmembers 38 each having aflange portion 38A substantially co-extensive therewith and resiliently foldable from a normally inwardly radially disposed state for gripping the small diameter ampoule 34 (see Figures 9A and 9B) to a flexed circumferentially disposed state for gripping the large diameter ampoule 36 (see Figures 9C and 9D). - In connection with the second aspect of the present invention, the syringe can initially contain a liquid drug component whilst the ampoule can contain a dry powder. In addition, rather than the syringe being removed from the vial adapter, the spent vial can be removed whereby the vial adapter can then be inserted into another vial or a Y-site fitting of an intravenous set
