A system for priming an intravenous line includes a closed system transfer device having a first connector and a second connector, a connector device having a first connector and a second connector, a collection device having a first connector, a cannula having a distal end, and a sleeve having a first position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned within the sleeve and a second position where the distal end of the cannula is positioned outside of the sleeve, and at least one collection container having a closure. The collection container defines a volume having a negative pressure, with the cannula of the collection device configured to pierce the closure of the collection container.

System and method for priming an intravenous line

An adapter for connection with a fluid container includes an outer housing having a distal end, a proximal end, and a substantially cylindrical sidewall extending between the distal end and the proximal end, an inner member including a body rotatably inserted within the outer housing, a connector extending from the body configured to connect the adapter to a fluid container, and at least one grasping member extending from the inner member, the grasping member being configured for grasping by a user of the adapter, a first locking arrangement engageable with a distal end of the inner member and configured to restrict the inner member from rotating relative to the outer housing in a first direction, and a second locking arrangement engageable with a proximal end of the inner member and configured to restrict the inner member from moving in a proximal direction relative to the outer housing.
