  • Patent number: 10675495
    Abstract: A CT value controller includes a storage means, an input means, and a computing means. The storage means stores a function expressing a relative humidity and a CT value regarding a degradation degree of an anticancer agent, an assumed relative humidity, and a CT setting. The input means inputs a measured relative humidity and a measured ozone concentration at a time of degradation treatment of the anticancer agent. The computing means calculates a corrected CT value increment based on a difference between the measured relative humidity and the assumed relative humidity at every input of the relative humidity and the ozone concentration by using the function. The computing means determines a termination of the degradation treatment of the anticancer agent when an integrated CT value of the corrected CT value increments reaches the CT setting.

  • Patent number: 10004932
    Abstract: There are provided an anticancer agent degradation method for protecting medical professionals from exposure to an anticancer agent externally scattered in, for example, a safety cabinet or prescription laboratory, during drug preparation or other circumstance, and an anticancer agent degradation apparatus for use with this anticancer agent degradation method. Anticancer agent flyoff in a safety cabinet, etc. is degraded by exploiting an action of ozone-containing air humidified by humidifying means. A relative humidity of humidified ozone-containing air is preferably greater than or equal to 80%. In controlling degradation treatment on the basis of CT values, a difference between expected humidity and measured humidity is reflected in an increment of CT value to understand the progress of anticancer agent degradation properly.

  • Patent number: 9808401
    Abstract: Provided is an exposure-preventing cap of a novel and simple structure that, by being mounted on a vial, can more reliably inhibit leaking of drug solution to an outside when pulling out and collecting drug solution in a syringe from the vial. An exposure-preventing cap, which is mounted on a mouth of a vial sealed with a rubber stopper, wherein a puncturing hole is formed in a center part of a cap-shaped housing that is attached to a mouth of the vial, and a rubber membrane is arranged at the puncturing hole so as to form an internal space between facing surfaces of the rubber membrane and the rubber stopper. The rubber membrane has a dome shape that is convex facing the rubber stopper.
