Sterile resealable vial connector assembly

摘要

A resealable vial connector assembly (10) includes a transfer set (30) having a body (32) dimensioned for slidable insertion into a vial (12). The body (32) includes an axial passageway (38) for fluid communication into or out of the vial (12). A stopper support (46) extends downwardly from the body (32) and is dimensioned for receiving spaced apart upper and lower vial stoppers (72,74). The stopper support (46) includes at least one passageway (50) communicating with the axial space between the stoppers and with the passageway (38) through the body. Upper portions of the transfer set (30) are configured for threaded engagement with a luer collar of a medical fluid delivery instrument such as a hypodermic syringe or intravenous bag. The transfer set (30) is configured for releasable locking engagement with the vial (12) in a first position where both stoppers (72,74) seal the entrance to the vial (12) and in a second position where the lower stopper (74) permits fluid communication between the vial (12) and the passageway (38) through the transfer set (30).
