Systems and methods are provided for delivering single-dose packages sequentially from a substantially continuous strip having a first dispensing end and a second end, e.g., contained within a cassette or other dispenser. The strip includes a cover layer attached to a base layer to define a plurality of blisters therebetween that have one or more medications therein. The blisters are aligned in single file generally along the longitudinal axis between the first and second ends and/or otherwise arranged in single-dose packages adjacent one another, e.g., at least some of the single-dose packages including a plurality of blisters having different types of medications therein. A first single-dose package at the first dispensing end may be separable from a second adjacent single-dose package such that individual single-dose packages may be removed successively from the first dispensing end.

A system and method is described for printing a label with an RFID tag. The system includes an RFID reader that queries a first RFID tag coupled to a first medicinal container that includes a medication. In response, the system receives a first unique identifier and uses the first unique identifier to determine a status of the medication, associate the first medicinal container with a medical provider and print a second label that includes a second RFID tag for a second medicinal container.

A system is provided for storage and reconstitution of IV solutions. The system may include one or more storage and reconstitution devices each configured to store and manipulate IV solution containers containing IV solutions in crystalline form that include hydration chemicals and therapeutic drugs. Crystalline hydration chemicals may include crystalline salts and sugars. The containers may be dimensionally precise enough for mechanical manipulation and configured such that sharp objects such as needles are not needed for fluid delivery to or from the container. Each storage and reconstitution device may store stacked containers and may include components for retrieval of a container from the storage and for reconstitution of the contents therein using a sterile water source within the device. IV doses may be manufactured, under appropriate standards, that can be mechanically reconstituted to produce high-quality doses in real time on the patient care unit or in the pharmacy.

A pharmaceutical container label 1 to be stuck to an outer circumferential surface 12r of a pharmaceutical container 100 having translucency, includes: a lower-layer label 2, having light-blocking property, to be adhered to the outer circumferential surface 12r of the pharmaceutical container 100 so as to form a non-adhesion portion 2B; and an upper-layer label 3 which is peelably stuck to a surface 2a of the lower-layer label 2 so as to adhere to the non-adhesion portion 2B. When the upper-layer label 3 is peeled off, the non-adhesion portion 2B is integrally peeled off, a region covered with the non-adhesion portion 2B is exposed, and the exposed region serves as a window 15 which allows visual checking of the contents.

A liquid medication storage, dispensing and tracking apparatus is provided having an octagonal housing forming seven separable individual containment compartments. Each compartment is adapted to be filled with a liquid medication dosage for subsequent dispensing. An eighth reminder compartment us provided having a form factor similar in shape and including a visual reminder indicia adapted to provide a reminder to refill liquid medication doses. The seven containment compartments and one reminder compartment are removably connected to allow for cleaning and refilling/reuse. The labeled liquid medication dispenser pre-measures dosages, tracks the status of a medication regime and serves as a reminder as to the date and time of a next dose. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

The container (1) for fluid products, particularly for medical products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food or the like, comprises: a hollow body (2) for the containment of a fluid product having a neck (3); a closing element (8) having an attachment portion (9) which, in a closing configuration, is associated with the hollow body (2) along a preset breaking line (10) adapted to allow the separation of the closing element (8) from the hollow body (2) in a separation configuration wherein on the hollow body (2) is formed an opening for the outflow of the fluid product; at least a flap element (11) for supporting information, data or logos (12), joined to the attachment portion (9) and movable between an initial configuration wherein the flap element (11) is moved away from the neck (3), and a final configuration wherein the flap element (11) is fitted at least partially around the neck (3) to form a maneuver key (13) adapted to allow the removal by tearing the closing element (8) off.

A topical applicator of the propel/repel type includes a reservoir, an attachable applicator cap, and a metered dosing system. The reservoir is suitable for mixing a topical formulation of multiple constituents using an electronic mortar and pestle and is closed using the applicator cap. Alternatively, the reservoir may be prefilled with a ready-to-use cream and medicament formulation, then sealed with a removable seal. The topical applicator can include a fast purge feature that overrides the metered dosing system to facilitate removal of air from the reservoir. The topical applicator can also include a one-way ratcheting feature to prevent reverse movement (repel) of the metered dosing system. Metered doses can be dispensed through holes in the applicator cap by rotating a knob, which has detent positions that correspond to discrete doses, and which provides audible and tactile feedback.

A solid preparation subdividing device includes: one or more dispensing devices, a solid preparation information input unit to input information on solid preparations, an administration information input unit, and a packaging unit. The dispensing device includes: an accommodating portion with a charging port to receive solid preparations, and a pickup unit to discharge a desired number of solid preparations from the accommodating portion. The administration information input unit is for directly inputting an administration timing for each solid preparation and a dosage for each administration timing in association with the solid preparations charged into the accommodating portion. The subdividing device executes operations for discharging, based on information input to the administration information input unit, the solid preparations from the dispensing device on a dose-by-dose basis to the packaging unit and packaging one or more kinds of solid preparations to be taken at a time collectively by the packaging unit.

A system for integrating and labeling a plurality of tablet orders is described. The system comprises a graphical user interface configured to receive one or more inputs for a plurality of tablets associated with a particular patient. A software module is configured to compile the inputs into an integrated order. The system further comprises an integrated label coupled to a package containing a dose comprised of the plurality of tablets input into the graphical user interface. The integrated label indicates information about the first dose and the second dose.

A method for packaging a medication including receiving a prescription for a patient including a name of the medication for the patient and a name of the patient, wherein the patient is one of a plurality of family members. The method further comprises receiving a family member listing from the patient identifying one or more other ones of the plurality of family members, assigning a color to the patient that differs from any of one or more colors assigned to any of the other ones of the plurality of family members identified in the family member listing, and packaging the medication for delivery to the patient including securing a color-coded member to the container for the medication. The color-coded member is the color assigned to the patient.
