Patent number: 11690788Abstract: A system for the closed transfer of fluids that provides substantially leak-proof sealing and pressure equalization during engagement of a cannula with a vial, during transfer of a substance from a vial chamber to a barrel chamber via the cannula, and during disengagement of the cannula from the vial is disclosed. The leak-proof sealing of the system substantially prevents leakage of both air and liquid during use of the system. The system of the present disclosure also permits pressure equalization between a vial and the system when the system is attached to the vial. The system is compatible with a needle and syringe assembly for accessing a medication contained within a vial for administering the medication to a patient.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Becton Dickinson and Company Ltd.Inventors: Milan Ivosevic, Paul Paia Marici

Patent number: 11077976Abstract: A device for transferring fluids includes a piercing member having a distal end and a proximal end and defines a longitudinal fluid channel. An opening is positioned at the distal end of the piercing member with the opening in fluid communication with the longitudinal fluid channel. Further, a sleeve having a proximal end and a distal end includes an extended position where the sleeve surrounds the piercing member and a retracted position where the sleeve is retracted from the distal end of the piercing member. The sleeve defines an opening at the distal end of the sleeve with a gap defined between the retractable sleeve and the piercing member.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Becton Dickinson and Company Ltd.Inventors: Milan Ivosevic, Paul Paia Marici

Patent number: 10925807Abstract: A connection system for connecting a first medical device component to a second medical device component is disclosed. The connection system of the present disclosure provides for quick and intuitive coupling and decoupling of two opposing medical device components through the use of a connection path and a disconnection path, the connection path being distinct from the disconnection path. Furthermore, the connection system of the present disclosure provides audible and tactile connection feedback through the use of elastically deformable connection elements.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Becton Dickinson and Company Ltd.Inventors: Milan Ivosevic, Paul Paia Marici

Patent number: 10434034Abstract: A vial access device includes a housing having first and second connectors, with the first connector configured to be secured to a first container and the second connector configured to be secured to a second container. The device also includes a spike member extending from the housing and having a proximal end and a distal end. The spike member defines a vent lumen and a fluid lumen spaced from the vent lumen, with each of the vent lumen and the fluid lumen having a distal opening. The distal openings of the vent lumen and the fluid lumen are each defined by a top edge and a bottom edge spaced axially from the top edge. The bottom edge of the fluid lumen is positioned above the distal opening of the vent lumen in a direction extending along a longitudinal axis of the spike member.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2015Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Becton Dickinson and Company Ltd.Inventor: Alexander Cederschiöld
