Syringe filling and delivery device

摘要

A fluid transfer device for accessing fluid from vials and ampoules includes a cannula assembly (121) including a cannula (122) having a lumen therethrough connected to a hub (128) having an open proximal end (129). A filling straw (134) includes a housing (139) at its proximal end, a needle portion at its distal end and a shaft portion (143) therebetween. The housing includes a cavity (144) in its proximal end in fluid communication with a passageway (138) running through the filling straw (134). A cutting edge (145) is provided at the distal end of the needle portion (141) for piercing a vial stopper. The cannula assembly (121) is removably engaged with the housing (139) so that the open proximal end of the hub is in fluid communication with the passageway (138) of the filling straw (134). An elongate shield (155) having an open proximal end (157) and a recess (161) therein is removably connected to the straw (134) so that the shaft portion (143) and the needle portion (141) of the straw are contained within the recess (161).
