An apparatus for filling pharmaceutical containers includes a filling device with a linear transport device that preferably includes circulating holding elements for the containers. The holding elements are movable along a transport direction from a coupling side to a decoupling side of the transport device. A processing station includes a filling station arranged at the transport device for filling the containers with a pharmaceutical substance. A coupling element transfers the containers to the transport device, and a decoupling element receives the containers from the transport device. A first feed unit provides containers of a first type to be filled, and a second feed unit feeds containers of a second type to be filled. An interface element is arrangeable on the feed side with respect to the transport device. Containers of the first type or the second type can be selectively fed directly or indirectly to the transport device.

A tablet packaging device capable of shortening operation time required for packaging tablets for one tray. The tablet packaging device includes a packaging portion configured to accommodate tablets dispensed from a dispensing port into a tray. The packaging portion includes: a tray loading unit to which the tray is mountable; a tray unloading unit to which the tray accommodating the tablets is mountable; a tray driving unit, which is configured to removably support the tray, move the supported tray among positions of the dispensing port, the tray loading unit, and the tray unloading unit, and move the desired accommodation recess portion to the dispensing port for tablets; a tray attaching unit configured to attach the tray from the tray loading unit to the tray driving unit; and a tray detaching unit configured to detach the tray from the tray driving unit and place the tray on the tray unloading unit.

A package includes a bottom wall, an upper wall located opposite the bottom wall and a vertical wall extending between the bottom wall and the upper wall. A first space configured to accommodate a body of an electrical power tool and a second space configured to accommodate a battery pack detached from the body are defined between the bottom wall and the upper wall. An opening is defined in the vertical wall to enable the battery pack to be inserted into the second space through the opening in a state where the body is accommodated within the first space.

Robotic pick-and-place automation is used to transfer oral solid pharmaceuticals from moveable trays or canisters. Sensors are used to verify that the pharmaceuticals have been properly placed in the desired pharmaceutical locations precisely according to the patient prescription data. A pharmacist places pharmaceutical products within dispensing trays or canisters to present the pharmaceutical products for picking and placing via the robotic pick-and-place machinery. Once the canister or tray is located adjacent the pick-and-place device, a sensor or imaging unit associated with the pick-and-place device verifies that the pharmaceutical product, the size, shape, and/or color of an expected pharmaceutical product that is to be placed within the packaging material in accordance with patient prescription data stored by a computer associated with the system. Sensors verify that each individual pharmaceutical specified by a patient prescription have been deposited into each specified location strictly in accordance with the patient prescription data.

Described is a process for making a dry and stable hemostatic composition, said process comprising

a) providing a first component comprising a dry preparation of a coagulation inducing agent,

b) providing a second component comprising a dry preparation of a biocompatible polymer suitable for use in hemostasis,

c) providing said first component and said second component in a combined form in a final container, c1) either by filling said first component and said second component into said final container so as to obtain a dry mixture in said final container, c2) or by providing said first component or said second component in said final container and adding said second component or said first component so as to obtain a combination of said first component with said second component in said final container,

d) finishing the final container to a storable pharmaceutical device containing said first component and said second component in a combined form as a dry and stable hemostatic composition.
