Abstract
Dual vial adapter assemblages similar to U.S. Pat. No. 6,558,365 to Zinger et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 8,752,598 to Denenburg et al. and including a quick release drug vial adapter with an upright finger grip extension pair oppositely for manually urging inwards towards one another for releasing same from a drug vial. The quick release drug vial adapter ensures correct usage of a dual vial adapter assemblage by preventing immediate removal of a drug vial adapter from a drug vial after forming a liquid drug therein thereby assisting a healthcare provider to follow an administration protocol requiring an initial aspiration of some liquid drug for immediate administration purposes to a patient prior to subsequent infusion of the liquid drug remainder.
