Abstract
A system for priming an intravenous line includes a closed system transfer device having a first connector and a second connector, a connector device having a first connector and a second connector, a collection device having a first connector, a cannula having a distal end, and a sleeve having a first position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned within the sleeve and a second position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned outside of the sleeve, and at least one collection container having a closure. The collection container defines a volume having a negative pressure, with the cannula of the collection device configured to pierce the closure of the collection container.
Claims17
A system for priming an intravenous line comprising:
- a closed system transfer device comprising a first connector, a second connector, and a cannula extending at least partially between the first connector and the second connector, the first connector of the closed system transfer device configured to be connected to a connector of an intravenous line;
- a connector device comprising a first connector and a second connector, the first connector of the connector device configured to be received within and connected to the second connector of the closed system transfer device;
- a collection device comprising a first connector, a cannula having a distal end, and a sleeve having a first position where the distal end of the cannula of the collection device is positioned within the sleeve and a second position where the distal end of the cannula of the collection device is positioned outside of the sleeve, the first connector of the collection device configured to be connected to the second connector of the connector device;
- and
- at least one collection container comprising a closure, the at least one collection container defining a volume having a negative pressure,
- wherein the cannula of the collection device is configured to pierce the closure of the collection container, and
- wherein the second connector of the closed system transfer device comprises a membrane,
- wherein, in a sealed position, a distal end of the cannula of the closed system transfer device is held at least partially within the membrane of the second connector of the closed system transfer device,
- wherein the first connector of the connector device comprises a membrane, the membrane of the second connector of the closed system transfer device configured to engage the membrane of the first connector of the connector device, and
- wherein, in a transfer position, the first connector of the connector device is received within the second connector of the closed system transfer device thereby causing the cannula of the closed system transfer device to extend through at least the membrane of the second connector of the closed system transfer device to establish fluid communication between the closed system transfer device and the connector device.

A method of priming an intravenous line, the method comprising:
- providing an intravenous line and a closed system transfer device comprising a first connector, a second connector, and a cannula extending at least partially between the first connector and the second connector;
- connecting the closed system transfer device to the intravenous line;
- providing a connector device comprising a first connector and a second connector;
- providing a collection device comprising a first connector, a cannula having a distal end, and a sleeve having a first position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned within the sleeve, and a second position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned outside of the sleeve;
- connecting the connector device to the collection device;
- connecting the closed system transfer device to the connector device by securing the first connector of the connector device within the second connector of the closed system transfer device, thereby engaging a membrane of the second connector of the closed system transfer device with a membrane of the first connector of the connector device and causing the cannula of the closed system transfer device to extend through the membrane of the second connector of the closed system transfer device;
- providing a collection container comprising a closure, the collection container defining a volume having a negative pressure;
- and
- priming the intravenous line by inserting the collection container into the collection device such that the cannula of the collection device pierces the closure of the collection container.
