The Mini Vented Transfer Pin with Air-Venting Filter is a specialized medical device designed to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of fluids, such as medications, diluents, or additives, from rubber-stoppered containers like vials. Its compact design and integrated features make it an essential tool in various medical and pharmaceutical settings.
Key Features:
- Vented Spike: The device is equipped with a vented spike that allows for multiple withdrawals or additions of fluids without the need for repeated needle insertions, thereby reducing the risk of contamination and maintaining the sterility of the contents.
- Air-Venting Filter: An integrated bacterial retentive air-venting filter (typically 0.45µm) ensures that air entering the vial during fluid transfer is free from contaminants. This feature maintains the sterility of the vial's contents and prevents the introduction of airborne bacteria.
- Needle-Free Access: The device often includes a swabable needle-free access valve, allowing for safe injections and withdrawals without the use of needles. This design minimizes the risk of needlestick injuries and enhances user safety.
- Luer Lock Connection: Featuring a standard female luer lock connector, the transfer pin ensures a secure and leak-proof connection to syringes or IV administration sets, facilitating seamless fluid transfer.
- Latex and DEHP-Free: Manufactured without natural rubber latex or DEHP, the device is suitable for use with patients who have sensitivities or allergies to these materials.
