Safety Vial Transfer Device
Field of Application
These safety transfer devices have been developed for convenient and safe transfer of
injectable drugs, dissolved powders or lyophilisates from vials to standard luer or luer-lock
syringes.
Vial Transfer Device
MEDMIX developed safety vial transfer devices for standard vials with 13 mm and 20 mm
neck diameters (ISO 8362-1 and USP).
Transfer Device VA 13-70M for Vials:
| Description | Size | A | B | C |
| 2R | 2ml | 16mm | 35mm | 13mm |
| 4R | 4ml | 16mm | 45mm | 13mm |
Transfer Device VA 20-70M for Vials:
| Description | Size |
A | B | C |
| 6R | 6ml | 22mm | 40mm | 20mm |
| 8R | 8ml | 22mm | 45mm | 20mm |
| 10R | 10ml | 24mm | 45mm | 20mm |
| 15R | 15ml | 24mm | 60mm | 20mm |

Pre-Assembling the Vial
After filling, the vial is closed by a rubber stopper and an aluminium crimp seal. No flip-off
top is required. After closing, the vial is assembled into the “pre-set” position of the transfer
device. In the “pre-set” position the vial is protected against piercing and disassembling
during transport and handling.
“Needle-Less” Transfer Operation
The pre-assembled vial transfer device is connected to the syringe. Opening the vial is done
by pressing the vial from the “pre-set” position into the “transfer” position, thus piercing the
rubber stopper. After filling the syringe, the transfer device is disconnected.
Safety Transfer Device
Due to the fully enclosed and safe transfer operation “needle-stick” injuries are prevented.
