Medical packaging in the form of an infusion bag and method for transferring liquid from a vial to an infusion bag

A connector comprising:

• a housing that is configured to connect to a medical container;
• a seal that is fixed within the housing;
• and
• a spike carrier that is within the housing and that interfaces with the seal, the spike carrier comprising:
• a spike that is configured to pierce a septum of the medical container;
• and
• an indicator that is visible through the housing, wherein:
• the spike carrier is configured to rotate within the housing, relative to the seal and the housing, between an open position and a closed position to open or close a fluid connection through the connector,
• the spike carrier rotates, relative to the housing and the seal and together with the medical container, when the housing is connected to the medical container with the spike pierced through the septum and the medical container is rotated relative to the housing, and
• the indicator is configured to indicate:
• that the spike carrier is in the open position when the spike carrier is in the open position;
• and
• that the spike carrier is in the closed position when the spike carrier is in the closed position.

A medical container comprising:

• a body configured to contain a fluid;
• a connector configured to selectively provide fluid communication between the body and an other medical container, the connector comprising:
• a housing that is configured to connect to an other medical container;
• a seal that is fixed within the housing, the seal defining a seal channel;
• and
• a spike carrier that is within the housing and that interfaces with the seal, the spike carrier comprising a spike that is configured to pierce a septum of the other medical container, the spike defining a spike channel, wherein:
• rotation of the spike relative to the seal and the housing is configured to open or close a fluid connection to the body of the medical container,
• the seal channel and the spike channel overlap when the spike carrier is in an open position, and
• an opening of the spike channel is radially offset with respect to an axis of rotation of the spike carrier.
