🧪 The Need for a Safe and Efficient Drug Transfer System

The safe handling of hazardous medications is an essential concern in healthcare settings. Current drug transfer devices and protective measures, such as gowns, gloves, masks, and safety cabinets, have their limitations. Even with these precautions in place, traces of drugs can still be detected in workers' urine, presenting potential risks to healthcare professionals. The most advanced filter-based systems are unable to prevent the release of toxic vapors, and traditional protective measures can only minimize the danger. This calls for a more effective solution that not only protects healthcare professionals but also simplifies the preparation and administration of hazardous medications.

🚀 Introducing Equi Shield: A Solution for Safe Medication Transfer

Equi Shield was specifically created to address the challenges associated with safe medication transfer. With its simple three-step setup and unique pressure equalizer, Equi Shield guarantees maximum protection and simplification in the handling of hazardous medications. Its closed, airtight design ensures the sterile and safe transfer of medications, preventing leaks, drips, and the escape of harmful vapors and aerosols.

Equi Shield's sleek design enables quick and easy extraction and administration of hazardous fluids from any standard vial. The process is straightforward: place the adapter on the vial, slide the syringe unit onto the adapter, and remove the desired dose for administration. To further ensure user-friendliness, Equi Shield complies with the strictest aseptic technique requirements and guidelines of regulatory bodies such as the NSF and OSHA.

🔒 How Equi Shield Ensures Maximum Safety and Sterility

Equi Shield's innovative design elements work together to provide a completely airtight and user-friendly system. The system maintains an airtight seal and balanced pressure through an innovative pressure equalization system. The syringe unit is equipped with a durable factory-sealed air chamber, a dual needle air-to-liquid exchange system, and an internal locking mechanism. This mechanism holds the double membranes tightly together throughout the entire process, ensuring needle safety and shielding.

As the operator fits the syringe unit over the vial adapter, the two membranes are tightly pressed and locked together. This locking mechanism prevents needle jab injuries by keeping the needles fully shielded at all times. When withdrawing medication from the vial, one needle draws the medicine into the syringe, while the other returns sterile air back into the vial. This sterile air and liquid exchange maintains balanced pressure, protecting valuable medication from contaminants and preventing the escape of aerosols or vapors.

💉 Efficient and Versatile Medication Administration with Equi Shield

Equi Shield not only ensures safety during medication transfer but also offers efficiency and versatility in its administration. The system allows for quick and easy fluid extraction from vials. Additionally, the dose of medication to be delivered can be changed at any time during the withdrawal procedure, facilitating flexibility in dosing requirements.

When adding diluents to a drug powder, Equi Shield's process is reversed. Instead of removing medication from the vial, a liquid needle injects the diluents into the vial, while an equal amount of air is extracted from the vial through the air needle and stored in the back of the syringe. This process traps toxic vapors in the syringe's air chamber, awaiting proper disposal.

During retraction, the needles wipe against the elastomer membranes, leaving the contact area dry and clean of any residuals. This eliminates the possibility of leaks, drips, or spills, ensuring a safe and controlled transfer of medication.

🛡️ Eliminating the Risk of Contamination and Hazards

Equi Shield's airtight design prevents any contact between hazardous substances and the environment while also protecting medication from contamination. By using Equi Shield, healthcare professionals significantly reduce the risk of accidents, saving valuable preparation time and ultimately raising overall hospital productivity.

With Equi Shield exceeding today's toughest safety guidelines, it ensures a safer and more efficient environment for compounding, transferring, and administering hazardous drugs. The system's commitment to safety and simplicity makes it the ultimate choice for healthcare facilities aiming to protect their staff and patients.

🎯 Conclusion

Equi Shield sets a new standard in safe medication transfer. Its airtight design, innovative pressure equalization system, and needle safety features guarantee protection against hazards and contamination. The system's simplicity and efficiency save time and increase productivity in healthcare settings. Equi Shield not only complies with the strictest safety guidelines but also leads the way in providing a safe, simple, and airtight solution for the handling of hazardous medications.
