Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a fluid communication device for mixing and transferring solutions. More particularly, it pertains to a device especially useful in high speed compounding of hyperalimentation solutions.
  • Hyperalimentation therapy is the intravenous feeding of, for example, a protein-carbohydrate mixture to a patient. It is used primarily to meet the patient's protein and caloric require- ments which are unable to be satisfied by oral feeding.
  • the protein may be in the form of free- a ino acids or protein hydrolysate and the carbo ⁇ hydrate commonly is dextrose.
  • vitamins water-soluble and fat-soluble
  • electrolytes also can be sup ⁇ plied in this therapy.
  • each of these parenteral ingredients and the combination thereof are particularly susceptible to the growth of deleterious organisms and it is desirable that they be administered to the patient in a sterile condition.
  • these pro ⁇ tein and carbohydrate solutions cannot be pre-com- pounded by the manufacturer, but * must be combined at the time of their use, their compounding must be performed under sterile conditions to avoid organism growth.
  • a known apparatus and process for compounding hyperalimentation solutions utilizes a solution transfer system including a receiving container and a Y-transfer set.
  • the Y-transfer set includes two separate tubes, each having an end attached to a common juncture by which solutions delivered through the tubes will pass through the juncture into the receiving container.
  • the other end of one tube of the set is attached to the protein holding container and of the other tube of the set to the carbohydrate holding container.
  • the de ⁇ sired volume of each solution being transferred to the container is controlled by a clamp placed on each tube.
  • the solutions may be allowed to flow into the receiving container by gravity flow.
  • Laminar flow hoods are used for reducing the risk of airborne contamina ⁇ tion of such solutions. These units operate by taking room air and passing it through a pre-fil- ter to remove gross contaminates, such as dust and lint. The air is then compressed and channeled through a bacterial retentive filter in the hood in a laminar flow fashion. The purified air flows out over the entire work surface of the hood in parallel lines at a uniform velocity.
  • the bacte- rial retentive type of filter is designed to re ⁇ move all bacteria from the air being filtered.
  • the device of the present invention provides a unitized, sterile, quick and economical fluid path to be used with the aforementioned HIGH SPEED BULK COMPOUNDER. Also, the device is arranged to provide proper orientation with respect to the compounding apparatus.
  • a device for fluid communication is provided to be used with an apparatus for compounding a plurality of solutions, preferably under sterile condi ⁇ tions.
  • the device of the present invention in ⁇ cludes a plurality of fluid container connectors
  • each container containing a solution to be compounded.
  • Fluid lines sealingly connect each container connector to a respective inlet pump fitting for providing fluid flow from the solution containers to a respective pump tube.
  • the pump tubes are elastomeric bodies fluidly connecting respective inlet pump fittings to exit pump fittings.
  • the pump fittings include grips about their periphery to facilitate putting the pump tubes in tension about pump rollers of peri ⁇ staltic pumps of the compounder. Tension of the pump tubes is maintained by placing the pump fit ⁇ tings in respective inlets and exits provided in the housing of the compounder.
  • the exit pump fittings are sealingly connect ⁇ ed to further fluid lines to provide a fluid path to a common junction block.
  • the junction block separately receives each of the plurality of fur- ther fluid lines in a substantially parallel, ver ⁇ tically spaced manner so as not to inhibit fluid flow by crimping of the lines.
  • the common junction block provides an exit port for sealingly and sterilely receiving a fur- ther fluid connector to provide a path to a re ⁇ ceiving container.
  • the exit port is preferably at right angles to the entrance of the plurality of further fluid lines.
  • the common junction block also has a closure member associated therewith to cover the exit port and protect it from contamination when not in use.
  • the closure member includes a retaining ring, securing the member to the block, connected to a closure by a flexible member. In the block use or uncovered position, the ring, flexible
  • OMPI member and closure lie in a substantially common plane with the internal side of the closure facing downward to prevent collecton of particulate con ⁇ tamination on the interior thereof.
  • the flexible member In the block non-use or covered position, the flexible member is rotated to allow the interior of the closure to cover the exit port.
  • each set of inlet and exit pump fit ⁇ tings are color or numerically coded to correspond to a respective pump of the compounder to provide proper orientation of the present invention with respect to the compounder.
  • the fluid lines are sized to provide the exact requirements of length for the compounder.
  • the de- vice is constructed to accommodate three solutions to be compounded.
  • the device of the present in ⁇ vention provides a sterile, unitized, economical fluid path between solution containers containing solutions to be compounded and a receiving con- tainer.
