At EQUASHIELD®, we prioritize safety and operational excellence in the healthcare field. Our solutions are engineered to prevent errors, enhance healthcare provider and patient safety, and streamline workflows—all with cutting-edge technology and user centered design.
For the seventh consecutive year, we lead the industry as the most used CSTD in pharmacy in the U.S.6
CSTD design affects its ability to be safe and effective
Membrane based systems are typically better at leakage prevention than Luer based CSTDs. Testing data consistently highlights EQUASHIELD® as a top performer among membrane-based solutions, effectively preventing microbial ingress.7
Filter based technologies are not mechanically closed, therefore they are not air tight. Mechanical based technologies are designed to ensure an airtight and leak-proof seal through robust physical barriers.
EQUASHIELD® Syringe Units maintain a closed pressure equalization that prevents the escape of vapors and aerosols during compounding and administration. A unique dual-needle, air-to-liquid exchange system, combined with a closed-back sterile air chamber behind the syringe, ensures that pressure is equalized throughout the hazardous drug handling process.
EQUASHIELD®’s Vial Adaptor firmly snaps onto a standard vial with a unique mechanism that prevents angled or non-centered spiking. The vial adaptor provides a safe and contamination-free vial access port for the Syringe Unit. The vial adaptor’s elastomeric membrane serves as a microbial barrier preventing microbial ingress, while remaining drug residue-free for up to 10 repeated connections in 7 days.
EQUASHIELD’s Spike Adaptors are designed to seamlessly connect standard IV bags to tubing sets, ensuring the safe transfer of hazardous drugs. Engineered with precision, they empower healthcare professionals to compound and administer medications with confidence and ease.
EQUASHIELD® Female Connectors convert standard luer lock ports into a leak-free closed system, ensuring safe and residue-free handling of hazardous drugs. Designed for secure connections and disconnections, they prioritize safety and reliability.
EQUASHIELD® Luer Lock Adaptors ensure a secure connection to patient lines, enabling safe injections with the EQUASHIELD® Syringe Unit or controlled infusions using a female connector. Compatible with any standard luer lock access port, these adaptors are meticulously designed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient administration of hazardous drugs.

Our patented closed back design is leakproof and airtight
EQUASHIELD® covers more routes of exposure than alternative systems. Backed by 25 peer-reviewed and independent clinical studies, our solution ensures leakproof performance, microbial protection, vapor containment, prevention of plunger rod and surface contamination. Choose EQUASHIELD® for safety you can trust.
EQUASHIELD® CSTD design makes premium safety simple
Ergonomic design
Ergonomically designed with push on connections vs twist connections. This minimizes repetitive motion injuries (RSIs), reducing the risk of joint pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Fail proof connections with red to red markings
Intuitive red markings serve as an alignment indicator, ensuring accurate and secure connections every time.
Pre-bonded components
Pre-welded syringe units and connectors save time and effort. The connector is securely bonded to the syringe and locking connectors, housing shielded needles to prevent accidental needle sticks and disconnects.
No external mechanisms required
EQUASHIELD®’s innovative design streamlines the compounding and administration process by eliminating the need for balloons or external mechanisms required by other systems.
Fastest CSTD to compound and administer
EQUASHIELD® is faster and more efficient to use- requiring the fewest steps to compound, and the lowest average time for administering- the fewest of tested CSTD competitors. 9,10
Full volume use
FDA cleared to use the full volume of the syringe unit. Benefit from cost savings, reduced strain, time savings, and waste reduction.11
Mundus Mini HD is safer, faster, and effortlessly integrates with your team. By automating manual compounding processes, it significantly reduces the risk of human error. Let Mundus Mini HD handle the repetitive tasks, so your team can focus on what matters most.
Protecting Healthcare Workers
Seamlessly integrating CSTD throughout the lifecycle eliminates risk of exposure to hazardous drugs.
By automating repetitive tasks and reducing the need for physical labor, the risk of repetitive strain injuries can be avoided.
Automating documentation eliminates manual data entry, ensures seamless digital traceability, and provides a clear audit trail.
Protecting Patients
A recent ISMP survey records an 9% average error rate with manual compounding.12
Prevent mistakes such as incorrect drugs, dosages, or compounding techniques with advanced image processing technology.
The Mundus Mini HD offers an accuracy rate of 1%, outperforming other automation solutions with a 5% margin of error and manual compounding at 4%-5%.
The EQUASHIELD® Clinical Team consists of certified pharmacy technicians and registered nurses. Our mission is to protect healthcare teams from exposure to hazardous drugs. With decades of clinical experience and advanced certifications in sterile compounding and oncology nursing, we understand your needs and speak your language in order to ensure seamless integration of our CSTD and automated compounding solutions.
