The first port is in fluid communication with the connection portion. The anchor component is configured to securely connect the infusion adapter to the infusion fluid container to substantially prevent disconnection of the infusion adapter from the infusion fluid container once the infusion adapter is connected to the infusion fluid container. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An infusion adapter for connection with an infusion fluid container, the infusion adapter comprising: a connection portion including an anchor component for connecting to an injection port of the infusion fluid container; and a first port adapted for connection with a syringe assembly containing a medication fluid, the first port in fluid communication with the connection portion, wherein the anchor component is configured to securely connect the infusion adapter to the infusion fluid container to substantially prevent disconnection of the infusion adapter from the infusion fluid container once the infusion adapter is connected to the infusion fluid container. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The infusion adapter of claim 1, further comprising a second port adapted for connection with an intravenous line adapted for connection to a bloodstream of a patient, the second port in fluid communication with the connection portion. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The infusion adapter of claim 1, wherein the anchor component comprises a helical thread. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The infusion adapter of claim 3, wherein the helical thread extends about an entire length of the connection portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The infusion adapter of claim 4, wherein the helical thread only extends one revolution circumferentially around the connection portion. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The infusion adapter of claim 1, wherein the anchor component reduces a force required by a user to pierce a fluid barrier member of the injection port of the infusion fluid container. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The infusion adapter of claim 2, wherein the connection portion defines first and second fluid channels, the first channel in fluid communication with the first port, the second channel in fluid communication with the second port. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The infusion adapter of claim 3, wherein the connection portion comprises a spike having a puncturing point. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The infusion adapter of claim 8, wherein the helical thread is configured to self-tap a corresponding thread within a portion of the infusion fluid container when the connection portion is received by the infusion fluid container. ### Claim 10 An adapter for connection with a container, the adapter comprising: a connection portion configured to be connected to a first container, the connection portion including a helical thread; and at least one port adapted to be connected to a second container, the connection portion configured to be in fluid communication with the at least one port, wherein the connection portion and the helical thread are configured to be received by a portion of the first container with the helical thread configured to securely connect the connection portion to the first container once the connection portion is connected to the first container. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The adapter of claim 10, wherein the helical thread extends about an entire length of the connection portion. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The adapter of claim 11, wherein the helical thread only extends one revolution circumferentially around the connection portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The adapter of claim 10, wherein the helical thread reduces a force required by a user to pierce a fluid barrier member of the first container. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The adapter of claim 10, wherein the at least one port comprises first and second ports, the first port configured to be connected with the second container, the second port configured to be connected with a third container. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The adapter of claim 14, wherein the connection portion defines first and second fluid channels, the first channel in fluid communication with the first port, the second channel in fluid communication with the second port. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The adapter of claim 10, wherein the connection portion comprises a spike having a puncturing point. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The adapter of claim 16, wherein the helical thread is configured to self-tap a corresponding thread within a portion of the first container when the connection portion is received by the first container.
