An injectable medication tab used to track expiration dates has an informative tab, a release string, an adhesive liner, and a quick release fastener. The informative tab provides visually accessible information about a bottle to which the injectable medication tab is attached. An expiration information portion of the informative tab protrudes from the exterior surface of the bottle after being opened. The adhesive liner is superimposed onto a mounting surface of the informative tab and attaches the informative tab to the bottle. The quick release fastener is a coupling mechanism that connects between an edge of the informative tab and the release string. The release string forms a detachable connection holding the expiration information portion against the bottle until the bottle is opened. Once opened, the expiration information section to protrudes from the bottle until the expiration information is recorded and the medical information portion is adhered to the bottle.

Disclosed is an invention for dispensing multiple medications to a patient over an extended period of days up to several times a day. The system includes a carousel with storage bins and a delivery bin on its periphery. A vacuum system and a vacuum probe with a vacuum cup at the end of the probe for grasping and holding by an induced vacuum a dosage of medication located in a storage bin and moving it to a dispending or delivery bin. The system includes a programmable computer to control the system and sequence the proper dispensing of the medication at the predesignated times.

Provided is a medicine dispensing device having a container stocking portion) for stocking a plurality of medicine containers, a medicine supplying part for supplying solid medicines, container taking means for taking the container from the container stocking portion, a medicine filling part for filling the medicine container with the solid medicines supplied from the medicine supplying part and container checking means. The medicine checking means has posture keeping means for keeping a constant posture of the medicine container and a measuring member which can approach to and move away from the medicine container. The container checking means can check a type of the medicine container by holding the medicine container with keeping the constant posture by using the posture keeping means and allowing the measuring member to approach to the medicine container from a remote position and make contact with the medicine container.

The invention relates to a recipient (1) for ex-vivo treatment of biological liquids, which includes: a rigid body (2); a reservoir (3) provided inside the body (2), which is formed by a side wall (4), a rigid upper wall (5) and a rigid lower wall (6) and has an internal thickness defined by the separation between the upper wall (5) and the lower wall (6), at least one of the upper wall (5) or the lower wall (6) having a window area (7) configured to allow the passage of electromagnetic radiation from outside of the body (2) to the reservoir (3); two ports (8, 9) for liquids to gain access to the reservoir (3) from outside of the body (2); and closure means (10, 11) for the ports (8, 9), the closure means (10, 11) being configured to provide, jointly, the reservoir (3) with hermetic sealing against gases and liquids.

A medical component is provided which includes a first portion formed of a first elastomeric material having at least one taggant embedded or incorporated therein, and a second portion formed of a second elastomeric material. The at least one taggant has a first diffusivity relative to the first elastomeric material and a second diffusivity relative to the second elastomeric material. The second diffusivity is less than the first diffusivity.

A pill regulator apparatus is defined by a base. A number of side walls, including a rear wall, a front wall, and a pair of opposing side walls. The front wall, rear wall and opposing side walls define an interior volume. A number of dividing walls are installed within the interior volume so that a number of individual compartments are defined. A number of tabs are placed above the individual compartments on the rear wall. Each individual compartment includes a corresponding tab. Each tab is movable between an upward position and a downward position.

The present invention relates to systems, methods, and apparatuses for the management, distribution, dispensing, and administration of consumer products, including over-the-counter and prescription medications through use of a product container labeling system and an optional integrated computer-based or online management system. In certain aspects, the invention relates to a product container comprising a hollow body, a child-resistant cap, and a specialized information label affixed to the hollow body.

Ingestible product and medical device containers validate self-administration of the product and/or corresponding use of the device over a schedule. A machine-readable optical code label such as a QR Code is affixed to an interior surface of a container containing the product or device. The container must be open to electronically read the optical code label. The label contains data associated with the product or device is read by a software application installed on a smartphone. The software receives the label-embedded data and a timestamp to validate the patient is self-administering the medication or device consistent with a schedule.

An object matching device includes an acquiring unit, an extracting unit, and a determining unit. The acquiring unit acquires an image of an object to be matched with a character printed thereon. The extracting unit extracts a partial image of predetermined size including the character as a matching partial image from the image. The determining unit compares the matching partial image with a registration partial image acquired from an object to be registered and registered in advance, and thereby determines an identity of the object to be matched and the object to be registered.

The invention relates to devices for preparing (10) and distributing (40) medicines to a plurality of patients (32), said devices respectively comprising at least one preparation holder (16), one distribution holder (43) and receptacles (15) in which pillboxes (12) are inserted. The preparation and distribution holders are adapted to receive identical receptacles and the computing means of each distribution device access a database shared with the computing means of a preparation device. The invention relates to an assembly comprising at least one preparation device and at least one distribution device, as well as to a method for preparing and distributing medicines which is implemented using these devices.
