Abstract: A container for housing an injectable fluid vial. The container includes a calculation aid formed specific to the injectable fluid vial. The container is formed from a bottom, a top, and an inset side wall therebetween with a resealable lid. The top includes an opening constructed and arranged to receive the fluid vial housing. Alternatively, the container is formed from two half sections that are hinged together for holding the fluid vial housing therebetween. An inner label is permanently attached to the sidewall having at least one row of dosing indicia coordinated with a base line indicia selected from the group of weight, age, fluid volume or area. An outer label is rotatably secured over said inner label with at least one transparent window allowing selective viewing of the dosing and base line indicia and predetermined dosing rate.

Abstract: A top loading container for housing a fluid vial is described. The top loading container includes a calculation aid formed specific to the fluid vial. The top loading container is formed from a bottom, a top, and an inset side wall there between. The top is adapted to be securable to a fluid vial so that the fluid vial rests in a suspended position within the interior of the top loading container. An inner label is permanently attached to the sidewall having at least one row of dosing indicia coordinated with a base line indicia selected from the group of weight, age, fluid volume or area. An outer label is rotatably secured over the inner label with at least one transparent window allowing selective viewing of the dosing and base line indicia and predetermined dosing rate.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a method of administering an oral solution containing one or more active ingredients, preferably formulations for non-prescription medicines, vital fluids, and/or nutritional supplements, optimally dosed based upon a patient's weight. The method includes providing an oral solution having an effective amount of one or more active ingredients; determining the weight of the individual, preferably to an individual less than 12 years old; and administrating an appropriate amount of the oral solution in a single dose dispensing unit in accordance with the weight determination of the individual, whereby the total amount of active ingredient administered corresponds to an effective amount of the active ingredient based on the individual's weight.

Abstract: A fluid safety dispenser system having a fluid storage container keyed to a fluid dispenser. The container having a valve body positionable in the opening of the container, the valve body having a plug member biased to allow fluid passage through the opening of the container when in a displaced position and to eliminate fluid passage through the opening of the container when the plug member is in a seated position. The keyed fluid dispenser assimilates a syringe and is releasably securable to the valve body for use in depressing the plug member by movement of a leaf spring when the keyed fluid dispenser is in position. The keyed fluid dispenser has indicia to provide for exact measurement and can be temporarily coupled to the container to provide ease of fluid transfer.

Abstract: A fluid safety dispenser system having a fluid storage container keyed to a fluid dispenser. The container having a valve body positionable in the opening of the container, the valve body having a spring loaded displacement valve to allow fluid passage through the opening of the container when in a displaced and to eliminate fluid passage through the opening of the container when the displacement valve is seated. The keyed fluid dispenser assimilates a syringe and is releasably securable to the valve body for use in depressing the displacement valve by compression of a spring when the keyed fluid dispenser is in position. The keyed fluid dispenser has indicia to provide for exact measurement and can be temporarily coupled to the container to provide a dripless transfer of fluids.

The keyed fluid dispenser assimilates a syringe and is releasably securable to the valve body for use in depressing the plug member by movement of a biasing member when the keyed fluid dispenser is in position. The keyed fluid dispenser has indicia to provide for exact measurement and can be temporarily coupled to the container to provide ease of fluid transfer.

Abstract: A fluid safety dispenser system for use with fluid storage. The dispenser system includes a dispensing valve positionable in the opening of the container, the dispensing valve having a directional chamber capable of rotation between an open position to allow fluid passage through the opening of the container and a closed position to eliminate fluid passage through the opening of the container. A fluid dispenser which assimilates a syringe is releasably securable to the dispensing valve for use in drawing fluid from the container when the fluid dispenser is in the open position. The fluid dispenser has indicia to provide for exact measurement and a locking mechanism to assure the container is closed when the fluid dispenser is detached from the container.
