Publication number: 20230301874Abstract: A device and method for fluidly connecting a drug container with a solution container in a closed state, and for combining contents of the drug container and the solution container in an activated state. The device has a connector body with a first coupling and first fluid passage that connect with the drug container. The connector body also has a second coupling and second fluid passage that connect with the solution container. A control valve has a movable valve body that defines a third fluid passage. The valve body is positionable relative to the connector body in a first position that blocks fluid communication between the first fluid passage and second fluid passage. The valve body is also positionable in a second position that permits fluid communication between the first fluid passage and second fluid passage.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Nick Panick, Bruce Brunetti, Michael Janders, Alan Wentzell
