Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transfer device for transferring a substance from one vessel such as a vial or the like to another vessel while avoiding leakage of liquid and/or gas contaminants, more particularly to a medical transfer device comprising a connector for attaching to a vial and a piercing device.
  • the medical transfer device is enhanced with locking arrangements that prevents potential leakage of hazardous drug or vapor concentrations outside said vial and minimizes the risk of users being accidentally exposed to said hazardous content even when an excessive torque is accidentally applied to said medical transfer device.
  • Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways that allow them to grow out of control and become invasive. One important difference is that cancer cells are less specialized than normal cells Inhibition of the growth and proliferation of microbes or tumor cells or eliminating them where possible, without damaging the normal cells of the patient or the host with the anti-neoplastic drugs used in cancer treatment is the main principle of the treatment.
  • the amount of medicine should be precisely adjusted according to the patient's weight and length.
  • the dose is adjusted by taking the required amount of liquid medicine from the vessel with the help of an injector and transferred into the infusion bag. If the health staff engaged in the transfer of this drug is exposed to the drug (via respiratory tract or skin) during this process, then user may be exposed to the drug's carcinogenic effects.
  • Transferring of anti-neoplastic drugs form one vessel to another vessel, staff may be exposed to the medical fluid by means of contamination. Such contamination may be vaporized medical fluid or aerosol in the air. The contaminations may contaminate the staff trough their lungs or vaporized medical fluid or aerosol in the air which condensates on the skin to thereafter penetrate the skin of the staff.
