The object of the invention is to provide a novel reservoir assembly for providing a cardioplegic solution and a method for manufacturing the same. An aspect of the invention is to provide a reservoir assembly for providing a cardioplegic solution, comprising a multi-chamber reservoir; a gas-impermeable outer package packaging the multi-chamber reservoir; an oxygen detection agent and a deoxygenation agent in a space part between the multi-chamber reservoir and the outer package, wherein the deoxygenation agent neither generates nor absorbs carbon dioxide, wherein the multi-chamber reservoir comprises at least a first chamber, a second chamber, and a first separator wall that separates the two chambers, the first chamber holds a first medical liquid, the second chamber holds a second medical liquid containing bicarbonate ions, one or both of the first medical liquid and the second medical liquid contains potassium ions, the cardioplegic solution comprises the first medical liquid and the second medical liquid, and the cardioplegic solution contains bicarbonate ions of 5 to 20 mEq/L and potassium ions of 5 to 35 mEq/L. Another aspect of the invention is to provide a method for manufacturing the reservoir assembly for providing a cardioplegic solution.

The present discloser provides methods and systems related to a medication container that may be locked using a locking mechanism. In one exemplary method, a request from a user may be received by a medication provider for a medication. The medication may be placed in a medication container with a locking mechanism that is operable to lock and unlock the medication container. The medication container may be locked using the locking mechanism. The locked medication container with the medication within may be provided to the user. Subsequent to providing the locked medication container to the user, a request may be received from the user to access the medication in the medication container. A credential may be sent to the user that is usable, via the locking mechanism, to unlock the medication container. The user may then input the credential into the locking mechanism to unlock the medication container and access the medication therein.

A medicine-taking detection system is provided that includes an ingestion device 1 and a detection device that detects taking of the ingestion device. The ingestion device includes a medicine, a signal transmission unit that transmits a first signal, a signal reception unit that receives a reflected signal of the first signal transmitted from the signal transmission unit, and a secondary battery that supplies power to the signal transmission unit and the signal reception unit. The signal transmission unit is configured to, when the signal reception unit receives the reflected signal, transmit a second signal including information on a signal intensity of the reflected signal, and the detection device receives the second signal and detects the taking of the ingestion device based on the information on the signal intensity of the reflected signal.

The present invention relates to a device for vacuum and vent tube stoppering a medical container. The device includes a main body defining an internal volume that has a first variable pressure chamber configured to be connected to a vacuum pump, the main body being configured to receive the proximal end of a medical container so that said medical container is in communication with the first variable pressure chamber. A vent device including a vent tube is moveable inside the internal volume of the main body along a longitudinal axis between a proximal rest position and a distal operative position. A piston rod is moveable inside the internal volume of the vent tube along the longitudinal axis between a proximal rest position and a distal operative position. A container holder system is provided in the main body, in communication with the first variable pressure chamber.

A medication compliance and drug abuse prevention device for use as a cap with conventional medication container. The neck of the cap is adapted for mating with the neck of any conventional medication container. The mating of the cap neck with the container neck forms a seal therebetween and the seal can be maintained in a locked or unlocked state as per requirement. The cap has a weighment module configured to measure a mass of a medicinal substance contained inside the container. A control module determines a difference in the mass of the medicinal substance measured before and after the unlocked state and initiate one or more alert actions if the difference in mass of the medicinal substance is found to be less than or more than a prescribed mass of medicinal substance.
