Baxter announces the US launch of the Arisure CSTD, which aims to prevent contaminants from entering the IV medication delivery system and hazardous substances escaping out of the system during drug preparation and administration. Designed to be easy to use with an emphasis on safety, the device includes a closed vial adapter that helps provide closed access to liquid or powder vials for reconstitution; an intravenous dry spike to provide closed access to an IV bag for addition and removal of a drug or solution; and a closed male Luer valve that provides closed transfer of a diluent or drug from a standard male Luer tip in a syringe or administration set.
