Abstract: A fluid management system adapted to automatically supply fluid for injection into a patient is disclosed. The fluid management system includes a fluid management device, a fluid transfer system and a fluid injector. The fluid management device serves to store and administrate multi-dose containers. The fluid transfer system connects an outlet of these containers to the injector which withdraws a fluid from the containers via the fluid transfer system and injects the fluid to an administration device at the patient. The fluid management device includes at least one rotating carousel having a vertical axis of rotation, at least two container holders attached to the rotating carousel and adapted to position the container vertically with a septum covered end facing downwards, and a spike holder mounted below the rotating carousel and oriented so the spike holder axially aligns a spike connected to the spike holder with the axis of the container.

The fluid transfer system connects the outlet of the containers stored within the fluid management device to the injector and the injector withdraws the fluid via fluid transfer system from the containers and injects the fluid to an administration device at the patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a removal device of an infusion system, with a holder part and with at least two penetrating parts protruding from the latter by different lengths, of which the shortest protruding penetrating part comprises a liquid channel, and of which the longest protruding penetrating part comprises at least an air channel. All the penetrating parts are arranged adjacent and parallel to one another. They have a shaft with a nominal cross-sectional area. Moreover, the inner cross-sectional area of the liquid channel is at least 60% of the greatest nominal cross-sectional area of the penetrating parts, at least in the region of the shaft. With the present invention, a removal device is developed which permits safe piercing of the stopper and which ensures a substantial volumetric flow rate of the liquid, while maintaining the standard dimensions.
