Abstract:
This invention is a protective shield (18) for a blood sampling unit that is movably engaged to an adapter (10) having a needle (12) attached. The shield attaches to a tube holder when the needle is covered by the shield. Longitudinal grooves (56) on the adapter (52) guide the shield between a first position, covering the needle, and a second position, exposing the needle. The shield can be locked in either the first position or the second position. The blood sampling unit is safely disassembled or re-assembled when the needle is covered by the shield. In an embodiment of the invention, a tip protector (42), removably attached to the adapter, extends through the length of the tube holder (44) to prevent needlesticks. The blood sampling unit and the tube holder can be assembled and disassembled when the tip protector is attached to the adapter, covering the needle. The tip protector is removed during a clinical procedure and then replaced after the clinical procedure is finished.
Abstract:
An injection site usable with a blunt cannula, comprises an injection site (812) having a pre-slit sealing member, the injection site being integrally formed with a spike connector (814) for insertion through the stopper of a vial, for connecting a cannula, through the injection site and spike connector, with the vial. The spike connector has a barb (818) which holds the connector in place in the vial and preferably has a solid centre point.

Abstract:
A cannula assembly adapted to pierce a solid or unslit closure is disclosed and includes a blunt cannula and a piercing member held in cooperation with or contained within the flow channel of the cannula. Generally, the piercing member includes a tip capable of piercing an unslit stopper or closure and a means to temporarily retain the piercing member from the cannula and prevent inadvertent disengagement of the piercing member from the blunt cannula.

Abstract:
Esta invencion es una coraza protectora (18) para una unidad para tomar muestras de sangre que está acoplada de manera movil a un adaptador (10) que tiene una aguja (12) unida. La coraza su une aun portatubo cuando la aguja es cubierta por la coraza. Las ranuras longitudinales (56) sobre el adaptador (52) guían la coraza entre un primer posicion, cubriendo la aguja, y una segunda posicion, exponiendo la aguja. La coraza puede ser inmovilizada ya sea en el primer posicion o en la segunda posicion. La unidad para tomar muestras de sangre desmonta o se vuelve a montar de manera segura cuando la aguja es cubierta por la coraza. En una modalidad de la invencion, un protector de la punta (42), unido de manera removible al adaptador, se extiende a todo lo largo del portatubo (44) para evitar los piquetes de agujas. La unidad para tomar muestras de sangre y el portatubo pueden montarse y desmontarse cuando el protector de la punta está unido al adaptador, cubriendo la aguja. El protector de la punta se remueve durante un procedimiento clínico y se reemplaza después de que el procedimiento clínico finaliza.
