Description

TWO WAY FLUID CONTROL DEVICE
Field of the Invention
The invention pertains to two way fluid control devices. Background of the Invention
Commonly owned US Patent No. 6,379,340 entitled Fluid Control Device to Zinger et al. discloses two way fluid control devices for use with a pair of medicinal vials and a needleless syringe for preparation of a liquid drug for aspiration to the needleless syringe for administration purposes (see Figures 23 to 28). The two way fluid control devices have a rigid T-shaped housing including an inline configuration of two opposite vial adapters for telescopic mounting on a pair of medicinal vials and a syringe port perpendicular thereto for receiving a needleless syringe. The vial adapters are formed with puncturing cannulas for puncturing a vial stopper on telescopic mounting on a medicinal vial. The syringe port is integrally formed with a flow control member manually rotatable between two operative positions for controlling flow communication between the two opposite vial adapters and the syringe port.
US Patent No. 6,379,340 Figures 23 to 25 disclose a two way fluid control device particularly suitable for use with medicinal vials containing a powdered drug under negative pressure. The two way fluid control device includes a flow control member having a semi-circular peripheral groove for enabling direct flow communication between its two opposite vial adapters for enabling negative pressure drawing of liquid contents from a medicinal vial containing liquid contents to a medicinal vial containing powdered drug contents under negative pressure for forming a liquid drug in the latter medicinal vial. The flow control member also includes an L-shaped lumen for enabling operation of the needleless syringe to aspirate the liquid drug to the needleless syringe. US Patent No. 6,379,340 Figures 26 and 27 disclose a two way fluid control device similar to the former two way fluid control device except without the semi-circular peripheral groove. The latter two way fluid control device requires additional steps of aspirating the liquid contents from the medicinal vial containing liquid contents to the needleless syringe and injecting the liquid contents to the medicinal vial containing powdered drug contents for forming a liquid drug ready for aspiration to the needleless syringe. The latter two way fluid control device is typically employed for medicinal vials containing liquid drug contents or powdered drug contents not under negative pressure.
Both two way fluid control devices require a user to hold a fluid control device in one hand and a needleless syringe in his other hand and operate the needleless syringe in a transverse direction to the fluid control device. Some professional users and particularly non-professional users may find such handling inconvenient and unintuitive.
There is a need for a two way fluid control device for use with a pair of medicinal vials and a needleless syringe for preparation of a liquid drug for aspiration to the needleless syringe for administration purposes which is more convenient and intuitive to use than the hitherto described fluid control devices. Summary of the Invention
The present invention is directed toward a two way fluid control device for use with a liquid vial, a drug vial under negative pressure, and a needleless syringe for preparation of a liquid drug in the drug vial for inline aspiration to the needleless syringe for administration purposes. The two way fluid control device includes a rigid L- shaped housing having a liquid vial adapter for telescopic mounting on the liquid vial and a syringe port for receiving the needleless syringe, a drug vial adapter for telescopic mounting on the drug vial and a flow control member rotatable in the L- shaped housing for enabling flow communication between the drug vial adapter and either the liquid vial adapter or the syringe port. The two way fluid control device undergoes manipulation from an initial T-shaped configuration with the drug vial adapter inline with the liquid vial adapter to a final T-shaped configuration with the drug vial adapter inline with the syringe port for affording convenient and intuitive operation of the needleless syringe for inline aspiration of the liquid drug from the drug vial to the needleless syringe for administration purposes.

The drug vial 10 contains a drug component 14 under negative pressure. The liquid vial 20 has a longitudinal drug vial axis 20A and includes a liquid vial bottle 21 having a liquid vial opening 22 sealed by a liquid vial stopper 23. The liquid vial 20 is filled with a liquid component 24. The liquid component 24 can be diluent only. Alternatively, the liquid component 24 can include an active component. The syringe 30 includes a barrel 31 with a plunger 32 and a male connector 33. The male connector 33 is preferably a male Luer lock connector.
Figures 1 to 6 show the fluid control device 100 includes a rigid L-shaped housing 101 defining an imaginary plane. The L-shaped housing 101 includes a tubular manifold 102 with a longitudinal manifold axis 102 A perpendicular to the imaginary plane. The manifold 102 includes a peripheral manifold wall 103 and opposite manifold end faces 104 A and 104B. The manifold 102 is integrally formed with a liquid vial adapter 106 for telescopic mounting on the liquid vial 20 and a syringe port 107 for receiving the needleless syringe 30. The liquid vial adapter 106 is formed with a puncturing cannula 108 for puncturing the liquid vial stopper 23. The syringe port 107 is formed as a female connector 109 for sealingly receiving the male connector 33. The female connector 109 is preferably formed as a female Luer connector.
The manifold wall 103 is formed with a generally quarter turn throughgoing slot 111 at the opposite side to liquid vial adapter 106 and the syringe port 107. The throughgoing slot 111 has a first slot end 111 A opposite the liquid vial adapter 106 and a second slot end 11 IB opposite the syringe port 107. The manifold wall 103 is formed with a first throughgoing bore 112 opposite the first slot end 111 A and in flow communication with the puncturing cannula 108. The manifold wall 103 is formed with a second throughgoing bore
