Isolatable Automatic Drug Compounding System
20200156027 · 2020-05-21 ·

A low-cost drug compounding system that can practically fit inside of a fume hood or the like is provided. The system can use a single pump operable in forward and reverse directions (or multiple pumps) to compound complex mixtures particularly including those requiring the creation of solutions from dry or powdered ingredients. A wireless link allows operation of the system remotely. In one embodiment, the system uses a disposable mixing tube set that can be discarded after mixing while still attached to the base ingredient containers used for the compounding thereby minimize the chance of personnel exposure.

Flow cabinet system for cleaning at least one object

The invention relates to a flow cabinet system for cleaning at least one object, the system comprising: a cabinet having walls enclosing a volume; tubing for the supply of compressed gas as well as a plurality of handheld cleaning tools within the volume for removing, by means of the supplied compressed gas, powder from the at least one object; and an extraction unit comprising tubing for extracting powder-laden gas from the volume through a gas outlet located near one of the left and right side walls and the back wall.
The cabinet further comprises a gas inlet in the back wall near the other of the left and right side walls and the back wall so as to define an overall flow that is substantially horizontal and transverse to the operator.

Dust containment unit manifold
10619980 · 2020-04-14 · ·

A dust containment manifold includes an angled, broadened head with one or more openings through which suction is applied to bullets as they fall from a deceleration chamber or bullet trap. The dust containment manifold may be disposed generally beneath the bullet trap and angled so as to reduce the chance that small fragments will enter the bullet trap ventilation system and become lodged in the ventilation filters.

Portable containment device for manipulating organic and/or chemical substances, and removable containment enclosure for such a device

The invention relates to a portable containment device for manipulating organic and/or chemical substances, which includes: a transporting case including two half-cases (2, 3) connected by a hinged structure (4) such as to be movable between a closed position (F), in which the half-cases (2, 3) are against one another and define a stowing space for at least the hinged structure (4), and an open position (O), in which the half-cases (2, 3) are spaced apart from one another by being maintained vertical by the hinged structure (4) and in which the half-cases (2, 3) and the hinged structure (4) form a supporting structure for a flexible containment enclosure (20); and a plastic, removable and flexible containment enclosure (20) that is at least partially transparent, for forming a generally parallelepiped foldable isolation chamber provided with means (31, 32) for accessing the inside of the enclosure and with means (21) for attachment to the supporting structure. The containment enclosure (20) is collapsible inside the transporting case in the closed position (F). The invention also relates to a removable, flexible enclosure for such a device.

Containment Design to Handle Low Temperature Systems

A containment system and method for creating a confined space around a portion of a piping circuit, and for maintaining the confined space at a designated pressure with a pressurized blanketing gas. The confined spaced with its controlled environment protects against process upsets or icing when insulation is removed from sections in extreme temperature services. The containment system includes a shroud assembly that is made up of a cover configured into a tubular shape, and end plates on axial ends of the cover that mount onto the piping. Support rings are set within the cover that also mount to the pipe, and which provide radial support for the cover along the span between the end plates. Ports are formed through a sidewall of the cover that provide operations personnel access to the piping. Lines carrying the pressurized blanketing gas connect to inlets formed in the cover sidewall.

Apparatus for removing an industrial powder from at least one shaped body manufactured generatively using the industrial powder

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for removing industrial powder from a shaped body manufactured generatively using the industrial powder. The apparatus includes at least one container for holding the shaped body having a vertically adjustable construction platform, a vibrating screen, a tilting device for tilting the container, and at least one catching unit adjoining a transfer end of the vibrating screen for catching the shaped body. In one form, the vibrating screen, tilting device, and catching unit are arranged within a housing. In another form, the vibrating screen and catching unit are arranged within the housing and the tilting device is at least partially arranged in the housing. At least one opening in the housing is closed in an airtight manner by a glove such that a user can use the glove to grasp the shaped body caught by the catching unit.

Sensor calibration systems and method for a controlled atmosphere workstation

An automated sensor calibration system and method provide for calibrating a gas sensor in-situ in a controlled atmosphere workstation. The system comprises a controller for automatically controlling the calibration system; an enclosure member movable between a first position and a second position; and a drive mechanism, operable by the controller, for moving the enclosure member between the first position and the second position. In the first position, the enclosure member is arranged in a spaced relationship from the sensor such that a sensing head of the sensor is exposed to the controlled atmosphere of the workstation. In the second position, the enclosure member is arranged in engagement with at least one surface so as to define a calibration chamber and enclose the sensing head in the calibration chamber.
