Abstract: Dual vial adapter assemblages including two identical twin vial adapters each having an upright vial adapter connector of a first connector type and a dual ended liquid transfer coupler interdisposed between the two identical twin vial adapters and having a pair of opposite coupler ends in the form of twin connectors of a second connector type for sealed engagement with the vial adapter connectors of the first connector type.

Abstract: Liquid transfer devices with an integral telescopic vial adapter for use with an infusion liquid container and an initially non-punctured intact discrete injection vial. The integral telescopic vial adapter is configured for initial telescopic snap mounting on a discrete injection vial leaving its injection vial stopper non-punctured until a subsequent compaction for puncturing the injection vial stopper. The integral telescopic vial adapter includes a safety catch mechanism for precluding advertent compaction from a pre-compacted state to a compacted state. The integral telescopic vial adapter includes a clamping arrangement for irreversibly clamping same in its final compacted state.

Abstract: A multi-focal, multi-camera endoscope having a tip section including a first optical assembly for generating a first image of a body cavity; a second optical assembly for generating a second image of a body cavity; at least one illuminator associated with each of the first optical assembly and second optical assembly; and a processing system configured to: zoom the first optical assembly and thereby generate a zoomed first image in place of the first image; and automatically cause a physical display to eliminate a display of the second image and to only display said zoomed first image. To eliminate the display of the second image, the processing system reduces a power supply to the second optical assembly, reduces an illumination intensity of an illuminator associated with the second optical assembly or causes the physical display to power off, darken, or blacken.

Abstract: A liquid drug transfer device that includes a vial adapter having at least two non-adjacent vial retention flex members and at least two non-adjacent vial guidance flex members. The vial guidance flex members are each provisioned with a purpose design hinged zone distanced from a vial adapter top wall for intentionally being hinged thereat on telescopic snap fitting on an injection vial. The vial retention flex members can double as vial guidance flex members with the condition that their hinged zones are distal to their inwardly protruding vial retention ribs relative to the vial adapter top wall.

Abstract: Syringe assemblies including a syringe pre-equipped with an integral liquid drug administration device for enabling administration of liquid drug contents and a drug vial adapter for telescopic mounting on a drug vial containing liquid drug contents. The drug vial adapter is initially mounted on the syringe and is intended to be manually detached therefrom to expose the integral liquid drug administration device. The syringe includes a flow control member having an initial flow path position for enabling filling the syringe with liquid drug contents from the drug vial and a final flow path position for enabling administration of liquid drug contents. Detachment of the drug vial adapter from the syringe urges the flow control member from its initial flow path position to its final flow path position.

Abstract: Dual vial adapter assemblages similar to U.S. Pat. No. 6,558,365 to Zinger et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 8,752,598 to Denenburg et al. and including a quick release drug vial adapter with an upright finger grip extension pair oppositely for manually urging inwards towards one another for releasing same from a drug vial. The quick release drug vial adapter ensures correct usage of a dual vial adapter assemblage by preventing immediate removal of a drug vial adapter from a drug vial after forming a liquid drug therein thereby assisting a healthcare provider to follow an administration protocol requiring an initial aspiration of some liquid drug for immediate administration purposes to a patient prior to subsequent infusion of the liquid drug remainder.

Abstract: Dual vial adapter assemblage modified including a drug vial adapter having a female connector fitted with a normally closed needlefree swabable self-sealing access valve, a liquid vial adapter with a male connector and a manually operable flow control arrangement. The flow control arrangement has three operative positions including an initial extended set-up position, an intermediate compacted flow communication position and a final detachment position for separating the drug vial adapter and the liquid vial adapter. The liquid vial adapter and the drug vial adapter are engaged in the initial extended set-up position and the intermediate compacted flow communication position. The self-sealing access valve is closed in the initial extended set-up position and compressed open in the intermediate compacted flow communication position.

Abstract: Fluid transfer devices for filling a drug pump cartridge with liquid drug contents for administration purposes. Fluid transfer device includes a dual open ended barrel partitioned by a transverse partition into a drug vial port for telescopic mounting on a drug vial and an open ended piston cylinder for slidingly receiving a piston head including a drug pump cartridge port for telescopic mounting on a leading cartridge end of a drug pump cartridge. Sliding insertion of the piston head into the piston cylinder to butt against the transverse partition urges air trapped in the compression chamber into the drug vial which in turn urges its liquid drug contents into the vented drug pump cartridge.

Abstract: A liquid drug transfer device for use with an injection vial which includes a vial adapter having a puncturing cannula for puncturing a vial stopper and a fluid transfer port in flow communication with the puncturing cannula. The vial adapter includes set-up vial retention flex members for vial retention purposes in a set-up position without puncturing an injection vial and activation vial retention flex members for vial retention purposes in an activation position puncturing the injection vial.
