An example of an electronic medical fluid transfer device can comprise a fluid transfer module with a multidirectional flow control valve and an intermediate container or pumping region, a sensor configured to detect whether at least one of a vacuum or gas is present in the fluid transfer module, a first electromechanical driver configured to interface with and control the multidirectional flow control valve on the fluid transfer module, a second electromechanical driver configured to be mechanically linked to and control the intermediate container or pumping region according to an operational parameter, and one or more computer processors configured to communicate electronically with the sensor and the first and second electromechanical drivers to determine the operational parameter based on a flow characteristic of medical fluid to be transferred and adjust the operational parameter based on output of the sensor.

An example of a method of enabling medical fluid transfer between a source container and a destination container can comprise the steps of providing a closed-system fluid transfer module comprising a first closeable, resealable medical connector and a second closeable, resealable medical connector, a multidirectional fluid control valve with a driving interface configured to interface with an electromechanical driver of an electronic medical fluid transfer device, and an intermediate container or an intermediate pumping region; and instructing a user to couple the closed-system fluid transfer module to the electronic medical fluid transfer device.

An injection member penetrates an elastic septum of a device defining a sealed, empty, sterile chamber in fluid communication with the septum. During penetrating, an annular interface is formed between the septum and the injection member extending axially between a penetration point on an interior surface of the septum in fluid communication with the sterile chamber, and an exterior surface of the septum engaging the injection member. The injection member is de-contaminated by (i) friction between the septum and injection member at the annular interface, and (ii) elongation of the septum at the annular interface. A substance is introduced through the injection member and into the sterile chamber of the device, the injection member is then withdrawn from the septum, the septum reseals itself at the resulting penetration aperture, and the chamber is maintained sterile throughout the foregoing steps.

The one or more embodiments disclosed herein provide a method for automatically assembling multiple compounds into a single edible custom composition, in which each compound is individually customized to proportions formulated from a profile of an individual or group. The single custom mixture can contain a plurality of compounds including foods or flavors, nutritional additives, herbals, biologics, or pharmacologically active substances. Using the method and a related algorithm, the formulation of a custom mixture is suggested.

The present invention relates to a sealing device to seal a container, the sealing device including: a tip that defines an internal passage leading to an opening and is designed to allow connection to a collection member such as an enteral syringe, a non-return valve that is associated with the tip and is designed to open during collection of the contents of the container using the collection member, at least one air-return port, and an antibacterial filter associated with said at least one port.

The invention relates to a method and a system for synthesizing a medical preparation, a peristaltic pump being used for pumping liquid from a plurality of source containers. According to the invention, micro-amounts are extracted only in the linear region of the peristaltic pump.

The invention relates to a valve unit for a system for producing parenteral nutrition, in which unit a three-way valve is used for each pair of connections to a source container. The valve unit is a component that can be mounted on die system and removed again after use. The valve unit is in particular provided as an interchangeable disposable component.

A compounding apparatus for mixing at least two materials into an admixture can include a processor and software configured to select a non-universal ingredient for substitution as a temporary universal ingredient to be used as a buffer when an original universal ingredient buffer is not available. The processor and software can also include an auto adjust feature to correct for tube wear and other factors creating non-compliant final bag fills. The processor and software can also include a disable station designation feature that allows for disabling a problem station and diverting operation from the designated disabled station to a substitute station. Such operation can ensure continued production of the compounding apparatus.

Systems, methods, and devices for generating radionuclides for use in production of radiopharmaceuticals; synthesizing the radionuclides generated and removing any unwanted products; measuring the quantity and activity level of the synthesized radionuclides; distributively delivering the radionuclides in appropriate quantities to modular cassette synthesis units in a modular cassette subsystem for contemporaneous/parallel production of radiopharmaceutical output and that allow reuse and/or quick, safe, and disposable replacement of portions of the subsystem; delivering non-radionuclide components to the modular cassette synthesis units as part of production of radiopharmaceutical output; measuring the quantity and activity level of each stream of radiopharmaceutical output; purifying the radiopharmaceutical output; dispensing individual doses in sterile vial(s); automatically producing labeling and dose related information; performing automated quality control on extracted samples of produced radiopharmaceutical output; and providing software and hardware controls for overall and sub-portion operation for optional remote data collection, communication, and/or control.
