  • Patent number: 8302640
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for capturing and releasably retaining one or more vials of medication in an at least partially inverted orientation. Embodiments include a housing partially defining one or more vial engagement stations. Each station includes a clamp element and a latch element which, upon insertion of a vial into the respective station, cooperate to capture and releasably retain the vial. A handle portion may be provided by which the clamp element may be returned to and latched in its open configuration, thereby also releasing the vial from the respective station. Each station may accommodate vials of various diameters. The housing may be mountable to a pole stand in vertically-adjustable fashion. The system may allow the vials to be retained at an angle with respect to the stand or local horizontal surface. Embodiments may further comprise a tray support bracket and removable drip tray element.
