Patent number: 11530055Abstract: A manifold for control of fluid and/or vapor flow between a container and a pump cartridge for a compounder system is provided. One or more manifolds may be disposed in a magazine configured to secure and align the manifolds with a plurality of ports in the cartridge. Each manifold may include a needle having forward and rear openings to a central bore. A needle housing may include a slot configured to receive a push rod for actuating the needle forward and backward. In a forward, engaged position, the openings in the needle may be disposed on opposite sides of a sealing member of the manifold to form a fluid pathway through the manifold. In a rearward, disengaged position, both the forward and rear openings in the needle may be disposed on the same side of the sealing member to prevent fluid and vapor from flowing through the manifold.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: CAREFUSION 303, INC.Inventors: Ray Feith, Vincent Fuji Wang, Neil Alan Quitoviera, George Michael Mansour, Christopher J. Zollinger, Matthew Quach

Patent number: 10772799Abstract: A pump drive for an automatic drug compounder may be provided. The pump drive may include a pump head assembly with a plurality of operational mechanisms controllable to operate a pump cartridge to pump fluids through the cartridge to a vial containing a drug, or to pump a reconstituted drug to a receiving container. The pump drive may include a vial lift vial grip configured to retrieve the vial from a vial tray and lift the vial such that a needle assembly of the pump cartridge extends into the vial through sealing membranes of the cartridge and a vial puck attached to the vial. The pump head assembly may be rotatable to agitate and/or invert the vial. The operational mechanism may include an eccentric drive for driving a piston pump of the cartridge and a plurality of valve actuators for operating valves of the pump cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: CareFusion 303, Inc.Inventors: Robert Edwin Schneider, Sara Little, Ray Feith
