Abstract:
A formed, filled, and sealed container (100), access port (200, 300, 400, 500) and method for establishing fluid flow from the container to an administrative set is provided. The container (100) is collapsible and has an inlet (120) and an outlet (130). A hollow port (160) is sealed to the container and a perforator inside the port pierces and becomes embedded in the container. Solution in the container is withdrawn into the port. A line (140) attached to the port and an administrative set further establishes flow between the container and the administration set. The port may be operated with a single-hand to establish fluid flow from the container to the administrative set. After the perforator is embedded in the container,a lock on the port prevents the perforator from removal from the container. Activation of the lock produces an audible and/or visible notification.
Abstract:
A port (400) for establishing fluid flow from a container to an administration set is described. The port comprises: a valve (402) having a shaft (410) wherein the valve seals to the container; a perforator (404) in the shaft of the valve; a beam (436) on the perforator, the beam having an arm (442) provided with a catch (438); a latch (416) on the valve that mates with the catch to lock the perforator in an activated position; and a tamper proof tab (444) removably attached to the arm to lock the perforator in a standby position to prevent unintended activation.
Abstract:
A container (1) comprising a peripheral wall or walls defining an interior, wherein the interior holds a solution. The container also comprises a port, a septum, a support ring, a cap and a lip.
Abstract:
A multichambered container comprising: a first sidewall (44) and an opposing second sidewall (46); a peripheral seal (16) sealing the sidewalls along a common peripheral edge (14); a peelable seal (26) connecting the first sidewall and the second sidewall to form chambers (22,24) in the container; and the peelable seal having a serrated portion (42), the serrated portion not in contact with the peripheral seal.
