Abstract: A fluid transfer assembly, drug container, and method for enabling fluid transfer in an infusion system is taught. The assembly includes a fluid container containing an infusion fluid, and a drug container. The fluid container has at least one inlet port for receiving a medical substance from the drug container. The assembly further includes at least one fluid barrier controlling fluid passage between the drug container and the fluid container. The inlet port exhibits a first luer-lock connector, and the drug a container is sealed by a cap exhibiting a second luer-lock connector for attachment to the first luer-lock connector. The fluid barrier is designed and arranged to be ruptured by an external force to allow the fluid passage.

Abstract: A fluid transfer device for transferring fluid from a first fluid container to a second fluid container such as a piercing member protection device. The fluid transfer device can comprise a longitudinal axis A and a first connection part comprising a connector that connects to the first fluid container. The fluid transfer device can further comprise a second connection part rotatably mounted to the first connection part by a mounting element, and the second connection part can further comprise a threaded coupling that connects the second fluid container. The mounting element can enable turning of the second connection part with respect to the first connection part. Such a device can allow a user to safely turn e.g., a syringe after assembly to read a volume indication or similar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a piercing member protection device (9) which comprises a first, a second and a third cylindrical member (100, 200, 300). The first cylindrical member (100) is at least partly encompassed by the second cylindrical member (200), and the second cylindrical member (200) is at least partly encompassed by the third cylindrical member (300). The third cylindrical member (300) comprises a piercing member (400) having a piercing tip (401). A first locking arrangement (250) is arranged to enable or prevent the turning of the first and third cylindrical member, with respect to the second cylindrical member, while a second locking arrangement (350) is arranged to enable or prevent movement of the piercing member (400) along the longitudinal center axis A, so as to expose the piercing tip (401) of the piercing member (400). The piercing member protection device (9) provides a safe device which reduces the risk of accidental exposure of the piercing tip (401) and contamination for a user.
