Vial2Bag Advanced® combines a universal, needle-free design with compatibility across multiple IV bag manufacturers and sizes, 13 mm and 20 mm vial presentations, and one simple, standardized "Cap-Spike-Admix” workflow. This versatility helps hospitals simplify point-of-care IV preparation, optimize pharmacy workload and ADC utilization, reduce waste and costs, and maintain greater flexibility during supply disruptions.
Compatible with all manufacturers’ 50, 100, and 250 mL IV bags. *
Available for 13mm and 20mm closure vials. Suitable for use with liquid and powder medications.‡
A convenient solution for IV medication preparation at point of care, supporting timely delivery of medications to the patient.
Reduces waste by preparing medication just before administration. Can reduce the need for expensive pre-mixed IV drugs.
Cap–Spike–Admix simplifies admixing, standardizing the nursing floor procedure. Needle-free design reduces the risk of sharps injuries.
Design enables nurses to use the drug manufacturer’s bar code for accuracy verification. Color-coded system for fast product identification in busy nursing environments.
Vial2Bag Advanced® 13 mm and 20 mm admixture devices are compatible with any manufacturer’s 50 mL, 100 mL, or 250 mL IV bags that contain an ISO-standard IV port (ISO 8536-4 standard IV spike).
The Vial2Bag Advanced® admixture devices can be an effective solution when meeting the compounding provisions associated with USP <797>.
This special report discusses the factors that can affect quality IV drug distribution and how point-of-care admixture practices may impact drug delivery times, optimize automated dispensing cabinets, reduce drug and labor waste, and improve flexibility to navigate shortages.
This special report discusses the need for drug waste minimization in the hospital setting, factors affecting waste in IV drug distribution, and methods for reducing drug waste for providers and pharmacists. See also the vial-to-bag implementation cost and workflow infographic.
West Vial2Bag Advanced® admixture devices use the distinctive orange and blue colors - make sure you're benefiting from authentic West quality.
The Vial Adapter™ is a single-use, sterile medical device intended for the transfer of drugs contained in vials. Puncturing the elastomeric closure of a vial is achieved by means of an integral plastic spike located in the center of the vial adapter. The device plastic package and cover are designed to limit direct contact, reduce potential for contamination, and to assist in attaching the device to the drug vial.
A vial-to-bag admixture device connects a drug vial directly to an IV bag for medication reconstitution and transfer without the need for a syringe. Vial2Bag Advanced® is a universal, needle-free vial-to-bag admixture device designed for use across multiple compatible IV bag manufacturers and sizes and available for 13 mm and 20 mm closure vials. It supports point-of-care preparation through a simple, repeatable “Cap-Spike-Admix” process.
Vial2Bag Advanced® 13 mm and 20 mm admixture devices are compatible with manufacturer’s 50 mL, 100 mL or 250 mL IV bag that contains an ISO-standard IV port (ISO 8536-4 standard IV spike)
West offers needle-free vial transfer devices across three transfer paths: Vial Adapter™ for vial-to-syringe transfer, Mix2Vial® for vial-to-vial transfer, and Vial2Bag Advanced® for vial-to-bag admixture. Each device supports a different drug reconstitution or transfer workflow depending on the intended preparation pathway.
For selected medications, point-of-care admixture allows preparation closer to the time of administration, which can help reduce waste from doses prepared in advance and reduce reliance on pre-mixed products or advance central-pharmacy preparation. It can also support pharmacy capacity and optimize automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) utilization by stocking eligible drug vials rather than preassembled or premixed IV bags.
Vial2Bag Advanced® is designed for use with compatible IV bags from any manufacturer, helping hospitals maintain a standardized admixture workflow when IV fluid shortages require a change in bag supplier¹. Its availability for 13 mm and 20 mm closure vials and use with liquid and powdered medications² can also provide additional flexibility across eligible drug presentations during supply disruptions.
