Definitions
- Device for mixing medical fluids and method for enabling such mixing.
- the present invention relates to a device for mixing medical fluids, wherein the mixing device is of a type exhibiting an inlet port for receiving at least a first medical fluid, an injection port for injection of a second medical fluid, an outlet port for exit of a mixed flow of the first and second medical fluids, a first duct extending between the injection port and the inlet port, and a second duct extending between the inlet port and the outlet port, and where the injection port is sealed by a fluid-proof membrane which can be penetrated by an injection needle when injecting the second medical fluid.
- the invention further relates to a method for enabling mixing of medical fluids by means of the device.
- a serious problem in connection with drug preparation, drug administration, and other similar handling is the risk that medical and pharmacological staff are exposed to drugs or solvents which might escape into the ambient air. This problem is particularly serious when the preparation of cytotoxins, antiviral drugs, antibiotics and radiopharmaceuticals are concerned.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,564,054 discloses a fluid transfer device for transferring a substance from one vessel to another vessel avoiding leakage of liquid and gas contaminants.
- the disclosed device comprises a first member designed as a hollow sleeve and having a piercing member provided with a passageway.
- the piercing member is attached to the first member which has a first barrier member at one end just opposite the tip of the piercing member. Thereby, the piercing member can be passed and retracted through the first barrier member which seals one end of the first member.
- the fluid transfer device further comprises a second member which is attached to or attachable to one of the vessels or to means arranged to communicate therewith.
- the second member has a second barrier member, and mating connection means arranged on the first and second members for providing a releasable locking of the members with respect to each other.
- the barrier members are liquid and gas-proof sealing members which seal tightly after penetration and retraction of the piercing member and prevent leakage of liquid as well as gas contaminants. In the connected position of the first and second members, the barrier members are located in such a way with respect to each other that the piercing member can be passed therethrough.
- the above- mentioned piercing member is a needle arranged for puncturing the first and the second barrier members, wherein the end opposite to the one end of the first member has means for sealingly receiving or being permanently attached to an injection syringe or the like for withdrawing and/or adding substance to the vessel attached to the second member.
- the injection syringe or the like communicates with the passageway of the needle, so that in the retracted position the needle is hermetically enclosed in the first member having the injection syringe or the like connected thereto.
- WO 99/27886 discloses a connector device intended for establishing fluid communication between a first container and a second container.
- the connector device comprises a first sleeve member having a first and a second end, wherein the first sleeve member has a first attaching member at the first end which is adapted to attach to the first container.
- the connector device further comprises a second sleeve member which has a first end and a second end.
- the second sleeve member is associated to the first sleeve member and movable with respect thereto from an inactivated position to an activated position, wherein the second sleeve member has a second attaching member at the second end adapted to attach the second sleeve member to the second container.
- the connector device further comprises a first and second piercing member projecting from one of the first and second sleeve members for providing a fluid flow path from the first container to the second container, and means for independently hermetically sealing the first and second members.
- a typical gravity feeding system for infusion therapy includes a container, e.g. a plastic bag, for the parental solution, a tube extending from the bag and connected to a Y-injection site, and a tube from the Y-injection site to a needle or catheter which is inserted into a vein of the patient.
- the infusion fluid line is connected to the infusion bag by means of a so-called spike device.
- a rigid spike member penetrates a septum sealing a fluid transfer port of the infusion bag in order to establish fluid communication between the infusion bag and the infusion line on which one or several injection sites or ports can be provided.
- the injection of a drug into the infusion fluid normally is accomplished by means of penetrating a septum sealing the injection port using a conventional hypodermic needle.
- the international patent publication WO 98/19724 discloses an improved device for administrating a toxic fluid.
- the device comprises an infusion device for connection to an infusion bag and is provided with an insertion portion for connecting the bag, and an infusion chamber for dosing a fluid flow via a flow duct in the insertion portion from the bag to an outlet arranged on the chamber.
- the insertion portion also comprises a ventilating duct which extends between the bag and the outside of the infusion device and ends in a connection arranged on the side of the infusion device for supplying the fluid to be administrated, wherein the connection is provided with at least one membrane which is air tight and penetrable by an injection needle.
- Another drawback of the devices according to prior art is the use of glue or adhesive connections between the different components needed in order to establish a fluid communication between an infusion fluid container and an infusion line connected to a patient.
- the extensive use of glue or adhesive for these connections is a disadvantage, both since it creates problems with the working environment in the manufacturing plant and also since it increases the manufacturing cost.

- the device includes at least a first portion made of a first material and a second portion made of a second material, wherein the second material is substantially more resilient than the first material, and the inlet port and the injection port are included in the first portion and the outlet port is included in the second portion, and the first and second portions are attached to each other by means of a combined friction coupling and snap connection providing a first retention force.
- a second object is to provide a method enabling mixing of medical fluids by means of the device according to the invention.
- this second object is achieved by means of a method which includes to provide a mixing device exhibiting an inlet port, an injection port, and an outlet port, and to couple the inlet port to a fluid transfer port of a fluid container containing a first medical fluid.
- the method also includes to connect a fluid transfer device having an injection needle to the injection port by means of a double- membrane bayonet coupling, to penetrate fluid-proof membranes included in the double-membrane bayonet coupling by means of the injection needle, to inject a second medical fluid from a second medical fluid-reservoir connected to the fluid transfer device into the first medical fluid, and to pass a mixed flow of the first and second medical fluids through the outlet port into an infusion line.
- the method includes to provide a combined friction coupling and snap connection in the device between a first portion which is made of a first material and exhibits the inlet port and the injection port, and a second portion which is made of a second material being substantially more resilient than the first material and which exhibits the outlet port.
