    Abstract: Systems and devices are provided to facilitate safe handling and injection of medicaments contained in vials. A vial handling system has at least one vial gripping member to hold a vial, and a filler pin movable relative to the vial gripping member for piercing a membrane seal on the vial. At least one window is provided in the vial handling system to permit access to remove a cap on the vial, while preventing needle access to the membrane seal through the window. In some embodiments, the vial contents are removed through a male end connector portion of a unique connector pair. A female end connector portion has a female socket with an inner fluid tube in fluid communication with a body of a syringe, while the male end connector portion has an engaging end dimensioned to fit within the female socket and securely overlap the inner fluid tube.
