Abstract: A robotized syringe actuator has a holding clamp for holding the peripheral flange of the opening of the tube or the flange at the end of the syringe plunger, by applying simultaneous pressure to both faces of the tube flange or of the syringe plunger flange. The actuator has a holder for the syringe cylinder which has a housing for receiving the syringe tube.

Abstract: Machine and method for the automatic preparation of medication, comprising:—a starting products area comprising at least one receptacle with bane products; a transfer tools area further comprising at least one transfer tool; a prepared products area comprising at least one container; and one robot with holding means for transporting the receptacle, the transfer tool and/or the container; wherein the robot, the starting products area, the transfer tools area, and the prepared products area are disposed in the same cabinet or chamber of the machine, so that the robot is adapted to transport the receptacle, the transfer tool and/or the container between the areas in the chamber. The machine further comprising a holding device between the receptacle, the transfer tool or the container and the robot's holding means, said holding device comprising elastic means for fixation to different sizes/forms of receptacles, transfer tools or containers.

Abstract: A machine for the automatic preparation of an intravenous medication is provided. In one implementation the machine has a chamber with a starting products area where at least one receptacle is disposed with a base product from which the intravenous medication is generated, a transfer tools area where at least one transfer tool that is used to prepare the required medication is disposed, a prepared products area where at least one container to house the prepared medication is disposed, and a first robot to handle the transfer tool, the first robot being adapted to transport the transfer tool between the transfer tools area, the starting products area and the prepared products area in order to prepare the intravenous medication.

Abstract: A laminar air flow cabinet of the type comprising a laminar flow portion and two adjacent portions, a first adjacent portion located above the laminar portion and a second adjacent portion located below the laminar flow portion, in which the cabinet comprises at least one fan blowing air from the first of these adjacent portions to the laminar flow portion through a first filter, and a second filter located in the second of the adjacent portions, the cabinet comprising at least one spray located in the laminar flow portion, a hydraulic pump injecting fluid through the spray and at least one impermeable surface located between the second filter and the laminar flow portion.

Abstract: The window has a fixed frame and a panel that can move vertically along said fixed frame, said moveable panel having a high open position, which may be partial or total, and a low closed position of the window, in which the vertical sides of the fixed frame of the window comprise straight grooves parallel to said sides, which have elbows at their lower ends directed towards the interior, that is, towards the aseptic enclosure, defining a position of the window in which the moveable panel is separate from the internal portion corresponding to the aseptic enclosure and a low position in which pressure is applied by the moveable panel to the compressible resilient joints associated with the inner edges of the fixed frame.

Abstract: Method for controlling the action of a robotic arm which comprises the following stages: a) moving the robotic arm by means of an action programmed in a controller; b) measuring the force which the robotic arm applies at specific points in the movement in stage a); c) comparing the force applied at each of the points in stage b) with force profile data stored in the controller; d) as a result of the comparison in paragraph c), generating an alarm signal if the force measured in stage b) is outside the limits defined in the force profile and carrying out stage a) if the force measured in stage b) is within the limits defined in the force profile.

Abstract: Equipment for the handling of vials which comprises: a base on which at least part of the vials being handled is located and transverse supporting member for the vials in which the transverse supporting member exerts a force in a substantially transverse plane to the necks of the vials, which comprise supplementary supporting member for the vials; these supplementary supporting member applying a second force in a plane that is substantially inclined with respect to the plane in which the transverse supporting member exerts the first force.
