Patent ID: 8021325

Claim:
A liquid drug medical device for use with a source of physiological solution and a medicinal vessel for administration of a liquid drug, the device having a longitudinal axis, and comprising: (a) a body member having a first port for fluid connection with the source of physiological solution, said first port being co-directional with the longitudinal axis; (b) a flow control member rotatably mounted in said body member about an axis of rotation, and having a first major flow duct and a second major flow duct respectively terminating at a second port, and a third port for administering the liquid drug; and (c) a manually rotatable vial adapter for receiving the medicinal vessel, the manually rotatable vial adapter having a fluid conduit member with a proximal end in flow communication with said second port and a distal end adapted to extend into the medicinal vessel on its attachment to said vial adapter, and coupled to said flow control member for rotating the flow control member between a first flow control position which connects said first port with said second port, and a second flow control position which connects said first port with said third port, said axis of rotation is co-directional with the longitudinal axis, and said first major flow duct and said second major flow duct are both substantially parallel to and non-coaxial with said axis of rotation and wherein said distal end of the fluid conduit member extends into a recess in the vial adapter.
