ABSTRACT:
An economical, reliable and universal intravenous infusion system is disclosed which permits a customized or generic fluid or powder medication stored in a proprietary or conventional pharmaceutical vial to be mixed in solution with the fluid contents of an IV bag so that the mixture can be administered according to the needs of a patient via an IV fluid line having a drip chamber connected therein. Fluid communication between the IV bag and one of the IV fluid line and the pharmaceutical vial is selectively controlled by the position of a rotatable valve barrel in a fluid control valve. A universal vial receiving and docking receptacle that is uniquely and advantageously adapted to accept and carry pharmaceutical vials of different size moves through a hollow docking port from a first, as-packaged location, to a second location at which the vial is placed in fluid communication with the IV bag via the valve barrel at such time when the IV is to be administered.
