A coupling device for coupling a vial connector to a drug vial, comprising actuating means (112'), for bringing the drug vial and/or the vial connector (105') into a third position in which a cannula (108') penetrates a seal (104') of the drug vial in a direction along an axis (A) substantially perpendicular (alpha≈90°) to a main plane (P) of the seal (104'), and guiding means (113) controlling the direction. The actuating means (112') are designed for applying a force on the drug vial and/or the vial connector (105') enabling the locking means (106', 107') to become permanently locked around the neck (102'). The first positioning means (110') are adjustable for holding drug vials (101') of several different dimensions and/or the second positioning means (111') are adjustable for holding vial connectors (105') of several different dimensions. The coupling device allows the positioning means to release the vial and the vial connector, and can be utilised in connection with aseptic preparation and handling of drugs. |
