Mix2Vial MixJect Needle-free Transfer Device Vial Adapters Vial2Bag Dosing Accuracy Needle-Free Vial Adapters Reduce Drug Overfill Drug overfill is a costly practice that is based upon the variability in drug withdrawal technique when using a needle. Typical overfill volumes in use today vary from 10% to 30% of label claim. The West reconstitution and transfer systems with fluid openings on the side of the plastic spike allows for greater consistency in drug withdrawal and reduced overfill requirements. This lowers your cost per vial and increases the number of doses per lot. For example, reducing the overfill by 20% provides enough drug for one additional vial for each five vials filled. Ordinary drug withdrawl Study Shows Consistent Delivered Volume A West study showed greater consistency in drug withdrawal using a vial adapter compared to a syringe and needle. The study groups consisted of 10 nurses and 10 hemophilia patients, neither having previously used vial adapters. A control group consisted of four experienced lab analysts experienced with using vial adapters. Needle and Syringe Versus Vial Adapter for 2 ml Solution Withdrawal With West vial adapter

Vial Adapters Enable needle-free drug transfer and reconstitution Vial adapters are the cost-effective solution for the safe and rapid transfer and reconstitution of drugs between vials and syringes. Our vial adapter spike technology provides a reproducible engineered depth for drug and diluent aspiration, which greatly reduces the end-user variability associated with traditional needle aspirations. That means you can assure the most efficient and cost-effective vial overfill volumes for your drug product. Vial Adapters Reduces exposure to needle-stick injuries Fewer steps, parts and sharps Reduce costly overfill requirements Options Siliconized spike reduces insertion force In-line fluid path filters reduce particle transfer Vented Vial Adapter Dual-channel spike facilitates rapid large-volume withdrawal without pressurizing vial Reduces sprayback potential of toxic materials through pressure equalization The design allows sterile inbound air and proper aspiration PTFE 0.2 micron hydrophobic air filter Swabable Vial Adapter Silicone rubber valve with Luer-compatible connector maintains sterility for repeat vial access Eliminates coring and stopper integrity issues associated with multi-dose rubber stoppers Opens only when connected to/compressed by standard Luer slip or Luer lock syringe Swabable surface to insure sterility Vial adapters are 510(k) cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration and carry the CE mark. trademarks of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., in the United States and other jurisdictions.

Reducing the Need for Costly Overfill of Drug Vials For drug companies, evaluation of vial overfill using vial adapters should be initiated early in formulation development. The result can lead to lower API costs and increased amounts of commercially available drug product. trademarks of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., in the United States and other jurisdictions.
