Fluid transfer device and packaging therefor

1. A fluid transfer system comprising:

packaging comprising:

a body having a sidewall extending between an open top end and a bottom end and defining an interior cavity; and

at least one projection extending radially inward from the sidewall into the interior cavity; and

a fluid transfer device configured to be received within the interior cavity, the fluid transfer device comprising:

an inner member configured to be secured to a container;

an outer member surrounding at least a portion of the inner member, the inner member having a first axial position relative to the outer member where the inner member is configured to rotate freely in a first and a second rotational direction relative to the outer member and a second axial position where rotation of the inner member relative to the outer member is restricted in the first rotational direction; and

a locking arrangement provided on at least a portion of the inner member and accessible through at least a portion of the outer member,

wherein the locking arrangement is configured for cooperating with the at least one projection to prevent rotation of the inner member relative to the outer member upon an application of a compressive force on the packaging.

2. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one projection is a pair of projections that are oriented opposite from each other around a circumference of the packaging.

3. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , wherein the packaging further comprises at least one button extending radially outward from an outer portion of the sidewall opposite the at least one projection.

4. The fluid transfer system of claim 3 , wherein the at least one projection is configured to deflect radially inward in response to the compressive force directed to the at least one button.

5. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , wherein the outer member of the fluid transfer device defines an opening configured to receive the at least one projection of the packaging when the fluid transfer device is positioned within the interior cavity of the packaging.

6. The fluid transfer system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one projection of the packaging and the opening of the outer member of the fluid transfer device cooperate to prevent rotation of the fluid transfer device relative to the packaging when the fluid transfer device is positioned within the interior cavity of the packaging.

7. The fluid transfer system of claim 5 , wherein the at least one projection of the packaging is configured to engage the locking arrangement through the opening in the outer member of the fluid transfer device to prevent rotation of the inner member relative to the outer member when the fluid transfer device is positioned within the interior cavity of the packaging.

8. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , wherein the locking arrangement comprises a recess defined by the inner member, the recess having an engagement surface configured to engage the at least one projection of the packaging.

9. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , wherein the inner member comprises a luer connection.

10. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , wherein the inner member and the outer member define a ratchet arrangement, and wherein the ratchet arrangement is only engaged when the inner member is in the second position.

11. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , wherein the packaging defines a plurality of ribs extending radially inward from the sidewall of the packaging, the plurality of ribs configured to engage a portion of the fluid transfer device when the fluid transfer device is positioned within the interior cavity of the packaging.

12. The fluid transfer system of claim 1 , further comprising a seal arrangement positioned within the outer member, the seal arrangement is moveable within the outer member and configured to engage a mating connector, the seal arrangement having an actuated position adjacent to the inner member and an initial position spaced from the inner member, wherein the seal arrangement prevents the inner member from moving from the first position to the second position when the seal arrangement is in the actuated position.

13. The fluid transfer system of claim 12 , wherein the inner member and the outer member define a ratchet arrangement, wherein the ratchet arrangement is only engaged when the inner member is in the second position.

14. A fluid transfer device comprising:

an inner member configured to be secured to a container;

an outer member surrounding at least a portion of the inner member, the inner member having a first axial position relative to the outer member where the inner member is configured to rotate freely in a first and a second rotational direction relative to the outer member and a second axial position where rotation of the inner member relative to the outer member is restricted in the first rotational direction; and

a seal arrangement positioned within the outer member, the seal arrangement is moveable within the outer member and configured to engage a mating connector, the seal arrangement having an actuated position adjacent to the inner member and an initial position spaced from the inner member, wherein the seal arrangement prevents the inner member from moving from the first position to the second position when the seal arrangement is in the actuated position.

15. The fluid transfer device of claim 14 , wherein the inner member and the outer member define a ratchet arrangement, wherein the ratchet arrangement is only engaged when the inner member is in the second position.

16. The fluid transfer device of claim 14 , further comprising a locking arrangement provided on at least a portion of the inner member and accessible through at least a portion of the outer member.

17. The fluid transfer device of claim 16 , wherein the locking arrangement comprises a recess defined by the inner member, the recess having an engagement surface.
