Abstract:
An intravenous fluid bag comprising: a primary chamber configured to retain a liquid; a valve in fluid communication with the primary chamber, the valve including a housing, a spike element, and a seal, with the housing surrounding the seal, which surrounds the spike element; the spike element having a first end culminating in a tip, a second end having an inner conduit, and one or more through holes between the tip and the second end in fluid communication with the inner conduit forming part of a continuous liquid passageway in fluid communication with the primary chamber; the seal having a relaxed state preventing fluid flow through the valve, and the seal having a compressed state through which the through holes of the spike element extend allowing fluid flow from a source external the intravenous fluid bag, through the through holes, through the inner conduit, and into the primary chamber.
