Abstract
An adapter for connection with a fluid container includes an outer housing having a distal end, a proximal end, and a generally cylindrical sidewall extending between the distal end and the proximal end, an inner member comprising a body rotatably inserted within the outer housing, a first locking arrangement configured to restrict the inner member from rotating relative to the housing in a first direction, and a second locking arrangement configured to restrict the inner member from rotating relative to the housing in both the first direction and a second direction. The adapter is transitionable between: a disengaged state, in which the first locking arrangement and the second locking arrangement are not engaged with the inner member; a partially engaged state in which the first locking arrangement engages the inner member; and a fully engaged state in which the second locking arrangement engages the inner member.
