Customised polypills may be produced in the pharmacy from two or more drug packages using an assembly machine. Each drug package may comprise an array of cells containing individual doses of a single drug. The individual doses may be combined within the cells of the packages to produce an end user package with an array of cells containing the combined drugs in the form of individual polypills, which may be formed as capsules or pastilles. Label indicia of the drug packages may be combined together to form a composite label of the end user package. Serialization data may be read from the packages during assembly and sent to a remote server for authentication and supply chain management. In another aspect, patients who have a history of poor compliance with a prescribed oral antipsychotic while periodically seeking symptomatic relief from another prescribed psychoactive, are provided with both medicaments in the form of polypills to be taken in place of the solo antipsychotic when the patient is in crisis. Providing the preferred psychoactive as a combination motivates the patient to resume their antipsychotic therapy when symptoms return, which may result in better compliance and more effective management of psychosis in the community.

The present invention relates to a medical device having a transparent region and a label wherein a hot stamping film is located on the transparent region; and a thermal transfer film that in turn has a label is located on the hot stamping film, with the label having a different color than the hot stamping film. The invention furthermore relates to a method of applying a label to a medical device.

A medicament dispensing container includes a first wall connected with a second wall and defines a cavity therebetween. The walls are movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. At least one member is disposable in the cavity and defines at least one dose receptacle configured for disposal of at least one dose of at least one medication. At least one fixation member connects the at least one member to at least one of the walls such that the at least one member is movable relative to the wall. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

There is provided a medicine management system capable of checking a receipt status and a dosage stage of delivered medicines even at a delivery source. The medicine management system includes a management server for managing a receipt status and a dosage status of medicines to be delivered, a first terminal having a function of notifying the management server of information indicating receipt of medicines when the medicines have been received, a second terminal having a function of notifying the management server of information indicating dosage of medicines when the medicines have been taken, and a third terminal having a function of acquiring from the management server and displaying information on a receipt status and a dosage status of medicines.

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 medication dispensing system includes an automated dispensing device that includes cells with electronically activated locks. The device is configured to detect when medication counts in the cells fall below predetermined thresholds. The system further includes a plurality of first electronic devices that are associated with some of the cells and that have imagers. In response to any of the medication counts in the cells being below the predetermined threshold, the automated dispensing device is configured to automatically send a replenishment needed notification to the first electronic device associated with the cell. That first electronic device is configured to transmit a picture of a medication to a second electronic device. In response to a positive verification by a user of the second electronic device that the medication in the picture is the correct medication, the second electronic device is configured to transmit an unlock signal to the automated dispensing device.

A pill bottle storage and organizer device for storing and organizing pill bottles includes a base frame having a plurality of holes. The base frame has a front surface and a back surface. Each hole of the plurality of holes extends into the front surface of the base frame. The plurality of holes holds a respective one of a plurality of pill bottle bodies. Each hole of the plurality of holes enwraps the body of the pill bottle and the cap of the pill bottle is exposed to a user. A numbering on the caps of the pill bottles is on a label. Each number of the numbering on the caps of the pill bottles corresponds to a particular medication.

A fluid delivery manifold system assembled and configured to allow delivery of a single dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., vaccine, drug, medicament, etc.) from a Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) vial to a patient. The delivery assembly generally includes a modular manifold design consisting of separately constructed components cooperatively arranged and coupled to one another. The modular manifold construction allows for rapid manufacturing reconfigurations of one or more components with minimal costs to create new delivery manifold configurations that meet specific needs (i.e., different modes of delivery depending on agent to be delivered, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intravenous injection, spray, or droplet delivery).

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.

This invention relates to an improved means of easily, quickly, and sanitarily distributing prepackaged medication to patients in a hospital or nursing home. The invention utilizes an small easily wiped down and cleaned housing which can be carried by a shoulder strap from patient to patient without leaving it unattended in a hallway. An internal bar-code reader and touch screen computer provide a positive means of identifying each prepackaged medication container, recording patient vital information, presenting to a nurse only the medication for a specific patient, and transmitting vital information and time of dispense to a hospital's inhouse computer network.
