A method of powderizing a dry cake pharmaceutical drug product for injection within a vial may include securing a vial containing a dry cake pharmaceutical drug product for injection to a shaker device and powderizing the dry cake pharmaceutical drug product within the vial by shaking the vial with the shaker device operated at between about 100 to about 5000 cycles per minute for between about 10 minutes and about 1 hour.

An extended duration anesthetic includes a short duration local anesthetic in a dilute solution and a long duration local anesthetic. The long duration local anesthetic is maintained in a powdered form until the time of administration. Premeasured quantities of the dilute solution and powdered long duration local anesthetic in a kit allow for quick preparation of a solution with desired concentrations of both short duration local anesthetic and long duration local anesthetic at the time of administration.

Systems, methods and devices for administering medication are disclosed. One or more embodiments of a medication delivery device may include a syringe, a needle, a guiding element, and a volume limiter for limiting the amount of medication that can be drawn from a vial. At least one method for administering medication using a medication delivery device, may include: inserting a vial into a guiding element, drawing back on a plunger, removing the guiding element and the vial from a needle to expose the needle, inserting the needle into a patient, depressing the plunger to inject the medication into the patient, and withdrawing the medication delivery device from the patient.

A method for performing a medical procedure requiring effective, reliable and foolproof delivery of controlled amounts of a medical grade gas to a patient includes providing a compressed gas cylinder having a weight with medical grade gas sealed therein of at least twelve grams and not greater than fifty grams. The method also includes connecting the compressed gas cylinder to an integrated compressed gas unit including a regulator valve assembly positioned between an outlet port and an inlet port, wherein the regulator valve assembly includes a press button actuator and regulator adjustment dial. A flow control system is secured to the compressed gas unit and the medical grade gas is delivered in precisely controlled amounts by actuating the compressed gas unit and operating the flow control system to deliver the medical grade gas to vasculature of the patient.

The present invention provides a medicine checking assembly line. The present invention solves a problem of low automation degree of the existing medicine checking assembly line. The medicine checking assembly line includes a conveying device, a turnover device, a separation device, a medicine bottle recycling device, a medicine bag stacking device and a medicine basket stacking device, which are connected sequentially. The conveying device is used for transferring medicine baskets between medicine dissolving personnel and medicine checking personnel; the turnover device is used for turning over the medicine baskets; the separation device is used for separating the medicine baskets, medicine bottles and medicine bags; the medicine bottle recycling device is used for recycling the used medicine bottles; the medicine bag stacking device is used for stacking and collecting the medicine bags; and the medicine basket stacking device is used for stacking and recycling the medicine baskets.

The invention according to the present document discloses a device 1 configured for conveying a toxic aerosol from a drug contained in a syringe (S) or in a vial (F) toward a suction pipe, comprising a cylindrical hollow element comprising an inner space configured for accommodating a syringe so that the inner walls of said space slidingly adhere to the outer walls of the syringe barrel, provided with a proximal end 2.10 which includes an opening 2.6 configured in such a way as to allow the insertion of a syringe barrel, and a flange configured for accommodating a syringe flange, and a distal end 2.11 which includes an opening 2.7 configured in such a way as to allow the cone, fitting, and needle of said syringe to pass through, and a cap configured for being connected to said cylindrical hollow element present in two configurations, one suitable for administering a drug and another suitable for taking a drug from a vial, in particular a drug potentially releasing a toxic aerosol.

The document also discloses a method for using the kit and the device according to the invention.

A vial adaptor can include a connector interface and/or a piercing member. The vial adaptor can include a regulator assembly. The regulator assembly can include a regulator base, a regulator nest coupled with the regulator base, and/or a storage chamber formed at least partially by one or both of the regulator base and regulator nest. The regulator assembly can include a cover connected to one or both of the regulator base and regulator nest and fitted around a radially outward portion of one or both of the regulator base and regulator nest. In some cases, the regular assembly includes a flexible enclosure connected to the regulator nest and configured to transition between a contracted configuration and an expanded configuration. In some cases, the flexible enclosure is inhibited from transitioning to the expanded configuration prior to removal or modification of the cover from the regulator assembly.

A method of using a fluid dispenser unit having a reservoir and a piston that slides in the reservoir. The unit includes an extractor head secured to the reservoir to suck fluid to be dispensed into the reservoir, and a spray head assembled on the extractor head to spray the fluid out from the reservoir. The method includes the steps of sucking a fluid to be dispensed into the reservoir through the extractor head; assembling the spray head on the extractor head; and spraying the fluid through the spray head. The step of sucking up a fluid to be dispensed includes a first step of extracting a fluid, such as a solvent, from an extraction reservoir, and a second step of mixing the fluid with a first substance, such as a powder or a lyophilisate, so as to form the fluid to be dispensed.

An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.
