ABSTRACT:
A needleless dosage transfer system for filling medicating devices such as syringes or needleless cannulas to minimize the likelihood of an unwanted needle stick and to avoid the initial cost of a needle as well as the disposal cost of the needle. A vial has a body portion 20 formed with flexibly deformable walls and defines a blind bore. An opening of the vial includes a tapered section adapted to frictionally fit over a taper of a male luer-type fitting commonly found on syringes and needleless cannulas. By deforming the walls of the vial, fluid is forced from the vial into a syringe. The opening of the vial 10 is protected with a cap and includes a scoreline which, when fractured, defines the opening. The cap to be removed from the vial prior to its use is fabricated as one piece with the vial in order to assure sterile conditions during manufacture and filling. A tab is associated with the cap which lists the ingredients within the vial. The vial also supports an area which lists the vial's contents. The cap is structured with a coupling so that after its removal from the vial, it can frictionally engage the luer opening of the syringe or cannula. The tab provides indicia thereon as to the contents within the thus loaded syringe and to temporarily seal the syringe or cannula.
