Systems and methods of compounding of medication include a user interface that enables efficient design of compounding workflows and protocols. A user can select a workflow type from a number of workflow types differentiated at least in part by the vehicle in which a compounded pharmaceutical is to be delivered, and the user may also specify a compounding device. Options are presented and the steps of a workflow in accordance with the workflow type and options is displayed and updated in real time as options are selected. A protocol can be constructed by inserting information into the workflow based on a specification of a particular pharmaceutical to be compounded.

A system including a containment assembly for enclosing a medication container may comprise a first housing portion or interface portion having a proximal end and a distal end. The interface portion may include a housing wall which defines a channel spanning from the proximal end to the distal end. The channel may be open at the proximal and distal end. The containment assembly may further comprise only two pierceable septa configured to form a barrier to the channel. The containment assembly may further comprise a variable-volume housing portion having a variable volume chamber. The variable-volume portion chamber of the variable-volume housing portion may be in fluid communication with the distal end of the channel.

There is provided a syringe filled with a resin composition which prevents a barrel cap from being detached due to temperature change during storage or during transportation, a production method thereof, and a storage method thereof. This syringe filled with the resin composition includes a syringe having a syringe barrel, a resin composition filling the syringe barrel, a plunger inserted in the syringe barrel, a barrel cap blocking an opening of the syringe barrel, and a spatial part between the plunger and the barrel cap in the syringe barrel. The pressure of the spatial part in a frozen state is 50 kPa to 92 kPa.

A drug inspection assisting apparatus for assisting an inspection of drugs collected by a drug collecting apparatus and/or by a manual operation, including: a plurality of drug inspection means, the drug inspection assisting apparatus being capable of implementing a plurality of drug inspection plans having different accuracies through selective implementation of the drug inspection means; an information acquiring means for acquiring first information and second information, the first information being information related to collection paths of drugs and/or devices involved in the collection of the drugs, the second information being information related to an operator who is involved in collection of drugs; and a plan selection means for selecting a certain drug inspection plan based on the first information and the second information, and the drug inspection plan selected by the plan selection means is implemented.

Various aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a compounder system having a cartridge that includes fluid pathways controllable by valves of the cartridge. A pump component within the cartridge is actuable to move fluid through the controllable fluid pathways. The cartridge includes a needle extending from a cartridge body and fluidly coupled to at least one of the controllable fluid pathways. The cartridge includes a vacuum bellows that surrounds the needle when the bellows is in an extended configuration. The vacuum bellows is compressible to expose the needle and generates a vacuum condition within the bellows when the bellows is extended from a compressed configuration to the extended configuration. The needle may be a dual-lumen plastic needle.

Accidental formaldehyde adduct formation of catecholamines in a catecholamine-containing formulation in a polymeric container is significantly reduced where a metal-based compound is used as an oxygen scavenger located between the polymeric container and a compromised secondary container that encloses the polymeric container.
