ABSTRACT:
A method of dispensing a hazardous pharmaceutical comprising the steps of: connecting a source of flushing fluid to a first port of a fluid delivery set; connecting a pressurizing unit of a powered injector system (including a powered injector and the pressurizing unit) to a second port of the fluid delivery set; purging air from the fluid delivery set; and, after purging air from the fluid delivery set, connecting a third port of the fluid delivery set to a source of the hazardous pharmaceutical. The fluid delivery set can, for example, include a valve system or assembly to control flow of fluid through the fluid delivery set. A system for delivery of a hazardous pharmaceutical includes: a syringe in operative connection with a powered injector; a protective container to enclose the syringe during operation thereof; the protective container being adapted to protect personnel from detrimental effects of the pharmaceutical; at least one source of flushing fluid; a fluid path adapted to connect to a patient; at least one source of the pharmaceutical; and a fluid delivery set including a valve assembly to which the syringe, the source of flushing fluid, the fluid path and the source of pharmaceutical are removably connectable. The valve assembly provides flow control through the fluid delivery set such that operator contact with the fluid delivery set is not required after connection of the source of pharmaceutical to the fluid delivery set.
