    摘要: Some embodiments disclosed herein related to a device for transferring precise amounts of fluid from at least one source container to a at least one target container. In some embodiments, the fluid is first transferred from the source container (e.g., a vial) through a connector to an intermediate measuring container (e.g., a syringe). In some embodiments air can pass through an air inlet and enter the vial to compensate for the volume of fluid withdrawn from the vial. An air check valve or a bag or a filter can prevent the fluid from escaping through the air inlet. The precisely measured amount of fluid can then be transferred from the intermediate measuring container to the target container (e.g., an IV bag). In some embodiments the connector can include a source check valve and a target check valve to direct fluid first from the source container to the intermediate measuring container and then from the intermediate measuring container to the target container. Some embodiments of the device can include a motor and a controller for automatically actuating a plunger of the syringe to transfer the desired amount of fluid.

    摘要: A method for the filling of containers with autologous fresh blood components, comprising the following phases of: a) providing an equipment (1) defining a transit channel (3) having at least a first gap (3a) associated with an empty syringe (4) or the like, at least a second gap (3b) associated with a bag (5) or the like containing an autologous fresh blood component and at least a third gap (3c) connected to a plurality of containers (6) to be filled; b) insulating the second gap (3b) from the third gap (3c) and placing in communication the first gap (3a) with the third gap (3c); c) suctioning the air contained in the containers (6) to be filled by means of said syringe (4) so as to define a vacuum inside them; d) insulating the first gap (3a) from the third gap (3c) and placing in communication the latter with the second gap (3b), the containers suctioning the contents of the bag (5) due to the effect of the vacuum defined inside them.
