By Stephen NakrosisWest Pharmaceutical Services said Monday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave 510(k) clearance for the launch of the Vial2Bag Advanced 13mm admixture device. West Pharmaceutical said its Vial2Bag Advanced 13mm admixture device can serve to connect various IV bags and vials to an external IV administration set. "The integrated vial adapter makes it possible to reconstitute and/or admix drugs prior to administration to the patient," the company said. Section 510(k) of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requires manufacturers to give the FDA 90 days advance notice before they can market a medical device.
