Needle-free IV Bag Spike
Many IV sets have a spike on one end and an injection site on the other.  The injection site is used to transfer medications directly into the IV bag.  The use of a needle creates an unnecessary sharps exposure for healthcare workers and also provides an unnecessary risk to toxic medications.  Needle-free systems are available that eliminate these risks.

Vial2Bag™ Needleless System

 

 Vial2Bag™ Needleless System

The Vial2Bag needleless system enables safe reconstitution and transfer of a drug between a vial or syringe and any solution-filled IV bag. The needle-free system connects to standard IV bags through the IV set port so it can be used with all manufacturers’ bags.

            The drug vial connects to the Vial2Bag system with a standard vial adapter. The diluent is transferred from the IV bag to the vial for drug reconstitution. The reconstituted drug is then transferred from the vial back to the bag. The system helps provide transfer of the full dose to the IV bag for administration. Standard syringes can also be connected to the Vial2Bag system.
