  • Publication number: 20240269380
    Abstract: A safety device for a drug delivery system includes a first member including a first arm having first and second ends and a length extending therebetween and a second member including a second arm having first and second ends and a length extending therebetween. The second end of the first member defines a first wall region. The first member further includes a first guard positioned at or near the second end thereof. The second member is rotatably coupled with the first member, and the second end thereof defines a second wall region and a needle guide member. The second member further includes a second guard positioned at or near the second end thereof. Upon rotatably positioning the second end of the first member near or adjacent to the second end of the second member, the first and second wall regions cooperate to define a container connector receptacle and the first and second guards cooperate to define a hand guard.

  • Publication number: 20240103025
    Abstract: A drug processing system includes a workstation, at least one deck module movably positionable within the workstation, at least one filter plate operably coupled with the at least one deck module, an agitating member, and a liquid handler member. The at least one filter plate has a plurality of wells to receive a fluid therein. The agitating member is adapted to move the at least one filter plate according to an agitation system. The liquid handler member is adapted to selectively add a fluid to at least one of the plurality of wells and/or remove a fluid from the at least one of the plurality of wells according to a liquid handling system. The agitating member is adapted to move the at least one filter plate while the liquid handler member selectively adds and/or removes the fluid from the at least one of the plurality of wells.

  • Patent number: 11771844
    Abstract: A syringe de-capper including a base having a lower surface and an upper surface opposite the lower surface. The syringe de-capper also includes a de-capping member extending from the upper surface of the base, the de-capping feature including a proximal end adjacent to the base, a distal end spaced away from the base. The de-capping feature includes opposing first and second lateral surfaces defining a proximal thickness at the proximal end and a distal thickness at the distal end, the distal thickness is smaller than the proximal thickness. Also, the syringe de-capper includes a slot disposed in the de-capping member, the slot extending from the distal end of the de-capping member toward the proximal end of the de-capping member and configured to slidably receive a distal end of a syringe for removing a cap therefrom.
