Abstract: A closed system transfer device (CSTD) and vial assembly machine includes a linear travel assembly including a linear mount, and an actuator operably coupled to the linear mount. The linear mount is movable in an axial direction between a first position and a second position spaced from the first position. A CSTD fixture is configured to be removably coupleable to the linear mount. A vial mount is disposed adjacent to a portion of the linear travel assembly. A vial fixture is configured to be removably coupleable to the vial mount. The vial fixture is sized to hold a vial in axial alignment with a portion of the CSTD fixture when the vial fixture is coupled to the vial mount and the CSTD fixture is coupled to the linear mount. When the linear mount moves from the first position to the second position, the linear mount moves relative to the vial mount.

Abstract: A real-time drug injection time duration measurement system includes a sound transducer, a waveform shaping circuit operably coupled therewith, a pulse clamping circuit operably coupled with the waveform shaping circuit, and a timer operably coupled with the pulse clamping circuit. The sound transducer detects a first sound associated with drug delivery initiation and a second sound associated with drug delivery completion and is further converts the detected first and second sounds into a first electronic waveform and a second electronic waveform, respectively. The waveform shaping circuit converts the first and second waveforms into a first pulse and a second pulse, respectively. The pulse clamping circuit triggers upon receiving the first pulse and generate a regenerated pulse. The timer initiates upon receiving the regenerated pulse and stop upon receiving a subsequent regenerated pulse via the pulse clamping circuit.
