MACHINE FOR THE PREPARATION OF PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCTS
A machine for the preparation of pharmaceutical products has a containing liner (27), a dosing chamber (2) for preparing at least one pharmaceutical product accommodated within the containing liner (27) and a pneumatic ventilation device (31) for feeding two air flows through the dosing chamber (2)- and through the containing liner (27), respectively; the operation of the pneumatic ventilation device (31) being selectively controlled so that the containing liner (27) has inside a pressure lower than a' pressure existing within the dosing chamber (2) and than a pressure existing in the environment outside the containing liner (27) itself.
B08B 15/02 - Preventing escape of dirt or fumes from the area where they are producedCollecting or removing dirt or fumes from that area using chambers or hoods covering the area
Method of control of a robot (2) having a movable element for agitating a container (3) holding a pulverized drug and diluents to enable a reconstruction process where the pulverized drug is fully dissolved in the diluents. The method comprising the steps of: providing a user interface (22) for introducing data indicative of the drug to be subjected to reconstitution process; accessing to an internal data base DB for outputting, for a selected drug, a list of primitive movements P1, P2,..Pi,..Pn to be used in the reconstructing process; operating the robot (2) for executing sequentially the primitives and moving the container (3) according to the instructions of the primitives; measuring, during the movement of the container under robot action, physical positions in the space and dynamic parameters of the container (3) creating a list of registered data; comparing the measured positions in the space and the dynamic parameter with the corresponding ones of the primitive movements for selecting a list of eligible primitives if a sufficient approximation level is reached; elaborating selected eligible primitives together to generate instructions for the robot allowing a complex movement encompassing the simple movements; and using the robot (2) for shaking said container that is moved in the space according to the complex movement.

A method for the preparation of pharmaceutical products according to which a diluent is fed into a container containing a lyophilized or powdered pharmaceutical by means of a needle, which is then extracted from the container, inserted in its protective cap, and rinsed by feeding the diluent through the needle and into the protective cap itself.
Method and machine for the preparation of pharmaceutical products according to which a container containing a liquid phase and a gaseous phase is connected to an aspiration circuit of a given amount of the liquid phase; a flow sensor being provided for detecting the passage of the liquid phase and of the gaseous phase along the aspiration circuit.
A machine for the preparation of pharmaceutical products has a pocket conveyor, mobile along a loop-shaped path and provided with a plurality of pockets, each adapted to receive and withhold a respective container, and a transfer device for transferring the containers with a rectilinear motion between the respective pockets and at least one operating station for executing an operation on the containers themselves.
A machine for the preparation of pharmaceutical products is provided with a pocket conveyor for storing syringes and/or bottles, a dosing station for transferring at least one pharmaceutical from a syringe to a bottle, and a gripping and transporting device for transferring the syringes and/or the bottles between the pocket conveyor and the dosing station; the pocket conveyor being mobile along a loop-shaped path and being provided with a plurality of pockets each adapted to receive and withhold a respective syringe and/or a respective bottle.
A syringe, defined by a cylinder and by a piston slidingly engaged in the cylinder itself, is actuated after having inserted the cylinder within a gripper and having axially fed the syringe through the gripper so as to move an outer flange of the cylinder into contact with the gripper and/or the piston in a stop position within the cylinder.
