DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Device Overview
The Vial Adapter (VA) 20mm is a single-use device that allows for the transfer of drugs contained in a vial.
The device is a one-piece polycarbonate molded part with a standard female Luer port for the connection of a syringe. Puncturing the elastomeric closure of a drug vial is achieved by means of an integral plastic cannulated spike located in the center of the Vial Adapter component. The VA 20mm device is supplied with or without an inline filter, based on catalog number.
The VA is sterilized utilizing gamma irradiation and is packaged in a Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) blister enclosure. The VA 20mm is packaged in either a Vial First (VF) or a Syringe First (SF) orientation, which function as follows:
The VF packaging orientation allows the VA 20mm device to be attached to a vial immediately after the removal of the packaging Tyvek® lid stock, while still cradled by the blister pack. The blister package is then removed leaving the VA 20mm attached to the vial.
The SF packaging orientation allows the VA 20mm device to be attached to a syringe immediately after the removal of the packaging Tyvek® lid stock, while still cradled by the blister pack. Using the syringe, the VA 20mm device is then removed from the blister packaging.
The device does not contain any medicinal substances or moving parts and is intended for use with standard drug vials having a neck diameter of 20mm.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Principle of Operation
The VA 20mm device is operated by a manual process. The subject device connects to a drug vial (supplied by the Drug Manufacturer) having a neck diameter of 20mm, along with a female Luer Lock. The VA 20mm contains an integral plastic cannulated spike located in the center of the VA, intended to puncture the vial stopper membrane allowing access to the vial contents. This piercing cannulated spike then facilitates the transfer of the drug between the vial and syringe. Depending on the catalog number ordered, the VA 20mm cannulated spike may be provided lubricated with a sterile silicone compound.
For the Syringe First (SF) Female Luer Lock (FLL) Vial Adapter, a prefilled slip syringe is connected to the female Luer Lock port located on the SF FLL VA by turning the syringe clockwise until secure. Once the vial and syringe are firmly attached to the SF FLL VA, the diluent is then injected into the vial. The drug is then aspirated back into the syringe by means of inverting SF FLL VA with the vial up and pulling the plunger downward. The vial and device are then inverted with the vial down and the syringe is then manually rotated in a counterclockwise direction, allowing the syringe to be removed from the SF FLL VA. The drug is then ready for administration per the instructions in the drug manufacturer's packaging insert.
For the Vial First (VF) Female Luer Lock (FLL) Vial Adapter, the VF FLL VA is firmly attached to the vial. A prefilled slip syringe is connected to the VF FLL VA, interfacing with the female Luer Lock port located on the top of the VF FLL VA, by turning the syringe clockwise until a secure connection is obtained. The diluent is then injected into the vial. The drug is then aspirated back into the syringe by means of inverting VF VA with the vial up (vertical) and pulling the plunger downward. The vial and subject device are then inverted with the vial down and the Syringe is then manually rotated in a counterclockwise direction, allowing the syringe to be removed from the VF FLL VA. The drug is then ready for administration per the instructions in the drug manufacturer's packaging insert.
