AUTOMATED MEDICATION DOSE FRACTIONATOR IN STERILITY CONDITIONS.

摘要

The use of medications in injectable presentations is associated, in addition to the risk of contamination during the preparation of the syringe with the solution for injection, also to the error in the dosage taken from the vial to the syringe. The contamination is mainly due to environmental conditions and mishandling of the personnel. Automating the process, guarantees the amount of drugs within the range that should be provided to the patient, avoiding waste, and at the same time, making sure that the treatment is the one prescribed by the specialist. The developed invention considers the following technical aspects to be solved: The automation of the syringe filling process, ensuring the correct amount of sample. The generation of a sterile environment. Automatic control process in a short amount of time, similar to the one that would take the manual preparation of the syringe. The precision of the filling of the syringe, in an error rate of error less than 2%, within the measurement in tenths of a milliliter or the corresponding one in milliliters. The characterization of the system and the evaluation of sterility during all stages. Design of the support to position the vial with the necessary orientation that reduces the loss of the active substance.
