A syringe adapter includes a female connector, a body in fluid communication with the female connector, a male connector in fluid communication with the female connector and the body, a passage extending radially through the body and a cannula extending axially through the body and out through the female connector, a first end of the cannula fluidly coupled to an end of the passage disposed within the body. A filter housing containing a filter is fluidly coupled to an end of the passage that is exterior to the body, the filter housing terminating in a vent that is fluidly coupled to the passage. A first fluid path is formed through the cannula, the passage and the vent, and a second fluid path is formed through the female connector, the body, and the male connector, wherein a closed system is provided when the male connector is uncoupled from the medical device.

Syringe adapter

An exemplary syringe adapter for coupling with a syringe may include a housing. A needle-free connector may be disposed in the housing. A communication member may be in slidable engagement with the housing. The communication member may be slidable, with respect to the housing, between an unactuated state and an actuated state of the syringe adapter. A cannula may extend from the communication. In the unactuated state, the cannula may be retracted within the needle-free connector. In the actuated state, the cannula may protrude through and axially beyond the needle-free connector.
