Medical fluid injection and transfer devices and method

Abstract

Abstract A medical fluid transfer device comprising: a vial holder configured to hold a vial containing a medical fluid; a canister holder configured to hold a compressed gas canister; a balloon; a balloon spike in fluid communication with the balloon and configured to be inserted into a vial positioned in the vial holder and to selectively communicate with a compressed gas canister positioned within the canister holder so that the balloon is inflated within the vial to pressurize medical fluid within the vial; an injection spike configured to be inserted into a vial positioned in the vial holder; a transfer conduit selectively in fluid communication with the injection spike so that medical fluid pressurized in the vial by inflation of the balloon flows through the transfer conduit; a compressed gas canister positioned within the canister holder; a pressure regulation device positioned between and in fluid communication with the compressed gas canister and the balloon spike so as to receive gas having a first pressure from the compressed gas canister and direct gas having a second pressure to the balloon spike, where the second pressure is less than the first pressure.
