RECEPTACLE FOR USE IN ADDING A BENEFICIAL AGENT TO FLUID IN AN ADMINISTRATION SET

摘要

The receptacle comprises a fluid passage (78) with an inlet (70) and outlet (72) for passage of fluid from a source to a patient in an administration set. A pierceable situs (80) is provided for connecting the passage through hollow cannulas with a chamber containing beneficial agent. A resilient bushing (92) is mounted in the receptacle upstream of the outlet (72), in alignment with the situs (80) and offset from the inlet (70). A cannular is insertable through the situs to be received in the bushing (92) and can sealingly engage in the bushing so as block flow along the passage (78) to the outlet. This permits flow to be directed from the passage through a second cannula to the chamber, and back through the first cannula to the outlet.
