According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a closed-system transfer device is defined for use in compounding and administering sterile doses of chemotherapy and other hazardous drugs, as a drug transfer device that mechanically prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and the escape of hazardous drugs or vapor concentrations outside the system. Although absolute containment is ideal, it may not be possible and there is still a risk of exposure for staff regularly handling hazardous drugs due to user technique or unpredictable spills.
Closed-system transfer devices (CSTDs) are adapters that connect two medication containers—vials, syringes, or IV bags—to allow a hazardous drug (HD) to be transferred between the vessels without permitting any of the drugs to escape. They are used to minimize personnel environmental exposure to HDs from the time the drugs are compounded in the pharmacy to the time they are administered to the patient by the clinician.
Yukon Medical brings the transfer set for complete protection, compounding, transporting & delivering Hazardous Drugs (HD).
The complete range of the transfer set comes with the name Arisure® .
Arisure has received ONB clearance from the US FDA for its use as a Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD).

Complete Closed System Transfer Device consist of :
1. Closed Vial Adapter
The Close Vial Adapter (CVA) is completely closed, helping to reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous drugs while providing a safe and simple solution for drug reconstitution and transfer.
- Mechanically closed to prevent the escape of harmful vapor and aerosols into the environment
- Dry disconnect with Arisure CML results in reduced exposure to harmful drug residue
- Intuitive, luer lock connection with Arisure CML means safe and easy transfer of compounds
- Microbiologically closed maintaining drug vial sterility for up to 7 days
- Low attachment force and non-coring spike help eliminate problems during vial insertion
- 13mm, 20mm, and 28mm variations available to fit all vial size.
2. Closed Male Luer
The Closed Male Luer (CML) is easy to use and completely needle-free. It forms a dry disconnect with any Arisure needle-free valve. It remains closed when not accessed, preventing accidental spills or discharge of hazardous drugs.
- Dry disconnect with Arisure needle-free valve results in reduced exposure to harmful drug residue
- Easy, luer lock connection with Arisure needle-free valve means safe and simple transfer of compounds
- Mechanically closed when not accessed, preventing accidental leaks or spills
- Microbiologically closed, reducing the risk of contamination
- Maintains seal integrity, keeping all connections safe even when accessed multiple times
- No special adapters means less time searching for parts and more time caring for your patient
3. Dry Spike
The Dry Spike gives you an easy, safe way to transfer fluid into a bag or container while maintaining a closed system.01
- Simple and easy to attach securely to a bag, bottle, or other semi-rigid container
- Dry disconnect when used with Arisure CML results in reduced exposure to harmful drug residue
- Double seal design allows for secure, safe connection with a variety of spikes
- High flow rate means an easy transfer of drug or dose into the container.
