Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of handling hazardous materials, including but not limited to materials such as drugs used for medical purposes. More particularly, this invention relates to a means and method for enabling a user to transfer a hazardous material from a sealed vial or container without allowing significant leakage of the material to the environment.
  • hazardous materials to which the invention is particularly applicable include but are not limited to liquid, freeze dried or powdered cytotoxic drugs that are used extensively in chemotherapy treatment of cancer patients and radiographic materials.
  • High toxicity materials including cytotoxic drugs and radiographic materials, are often enclosed in small bottles or vials that have an opening sealed by an elastomeric plug. It is highly desirable to prevent spillage or escape of even minimal amounts of hazardous materials in either liquid or gas form. Small droplets of materials could undesirably contaminate the ambient environment or come in contact with the person administering the substance.
  • the user utilizes a sharp needle attached to a syringe to pierce an elastomeric plug or other cap that seals the vial and draw the drug out, often after injecting a suitable solvent or diluents into the vial.
  • the user then injects the drug into a reseal element on an intravenous (IV) container from which the drug is delivered to the patient.
  • IV intravenous
  • a principal object of this invention is to provide a method and means for securing a vial within an impermeable isolation enclosure.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a method and means for piercing a vial within the impermeable isolation enclosure in a fixed position; and selectively accessing the contents of the vial.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method and means for safely transferring a portion of the vial contents, while the vial remains pierced within an impermeable isolation enclosure.
  • a method and system for handling hazardous materials contained in a vial includes an isolation enclosure having an opening selectively sealable about the vial, a bag body portion, and a cap portion.
  • a latching extraction element is attached to the cap portion and has a preceding engaging member to secure the vial to the isolation enclosure, an extraction member adapted to be inserted into the vial and remove material therefrom, and a primary engaging member to secure the vial to the extraction member.
  • a valve mounted outside the isolation enclosure controls the flow of fluid from the vial.
  • An adaptor having a reseal member permits flow when coupled to the valve and restricts flow when uncoupled from the valve. Once uncoupled, the adaptor is removably associated with a second valve located remotely from the isolation enclosure, allowing fluid to pass into the second valve.

  • a valve 54 is mounted to the outlet port 19 of the cap portion 17 , outside the isolation enclosure 14 .
  • the valve 54 is in fluid communication with the fluid passage 44 and controls the flow of fluid to and from the vial 12 .
  • the valve 54 has a threaded outer surface 56 , a hollow spiked pin 58 connected in fluid flow communication with the fluid passage 44 , and a seal member 60 positioned about the hollow spiked pin 58 to selectively restrict flow through the hollow spiked pin 58 .
