A method for performing a medical procedure requiring effective, reliable and foolproof delivery of controlled amounts of a medical grade gas to a patient includes providing a compressed gas cylinder having a weight with medical grade gas sealed therein of at least twelve grams and not greater than fifty grams. The method also includes connecting the compressed gas cylinder to an integrated compressed gas unit including a regulator valve assembly positioned between an outlet port and an inlet port, wherein the regulator valve assembly includes a press button actuator and regulator adjustment dial. A flow control system is secured to the compressed gas unit and the medical grade gas is delivered in precisely controlled amounts by actuating the compressed gas unit and operating the flow control system to deliver the medical grade gas to vasculature of the patient.

A method includes: depositing whole blood into at least one separator tube; subjecting the at least one separator tube to a first centrifugal force to cause a combination of the first centrifugal force and separator gel within each separator tube of the at least one separator tube to separate plasma of the whole blood from red and white blood cells of the whole blood within the at least one separator tube, wherein the plasma includes α2M molecules; transferring one or more portions of the plasma from within the at least one separator tube and into at least one isolator; and subjecting the at least one isolator to a second centrifugal force to cause a combination of the second centrifugal force and a filter within each isolator of the at least one isolator to isolate the α2M molecules from other components of the plasma within the at least one isolator.

The invention provides a drug mixing and injection system, in particular an adapter for said system enabling the preparation of drug formulations. In a first aspect, the invention relates to an adapter for a drug mixing and injection system comprising a first subunit (110) adapted to hold a vial (113) and a reservoir (115) with injectable liquid, a second subunit (120) comprising a valve (115) and an outlet port (122), at least one internal adapter channel (131), a first cannula (134) between the vial (113) and the internal adapter channel (131), wherein the adapter (100) has a resting position and an activated position. In another aspect, the invention relates to a drug mixing and injection system (200) comprising the adapter of the first aspect of the invention, a vial and a reservoir with injectable liquid. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a method of preparing an injectable drug formulation by use of the drug mixing and injection system (200) of the above mentioned aspect of the invention comprising activation of the system and transferring an injectable liquid from the reservoir to the vial, mixing the drug and transfer the resulting injectable drug formulation back to the reservoir, bringing the valve to a second position and transferring the injectable drug formulation to the outlet port.

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.

A medicament filling system (30) provides medicament to a delivery device (20). The medicament filling system (30) comprises a main housing (40) having an air pump (42), a vial adapter (44) that is configured to engage a vial (10) containing medicament, the vial adapter (44) being in communication with the air pump (42), a syringe housing (46) that carries a syringe (70), the syringe housing (46) being in selective communication with the vial adapter (44) and the delivery device (20), and a valve (60) that locks and unlocks movement of a plunger (72) in the syringe (70).

Apparatus, systems, methods and articles are described to prepare and track medications and medication containers as they are prepared, administered to patients and, in some cases, disposed of. Information such as medication type, concentration, and volume are associated with medication containers during preparation and this information can later be consumed/utilized when administering the medication from a container to a patient. Disposing of any remaining medication can also be tracked.
