A system for preparing and administering a prescribed fluidic pharmaceutical compound, such as a chemotherapy compound, includes a scale having a platen. The scale is in communication with a user display for displaying an output of the scale. An image capture device having a field of view for capturing at least one image of an object placed on the platen is provided in communication with the user display for displaying the captured image. The platen may include a visual identifier for identifying a portion of the field of view of the image capture device. The platen may also include a tackifier or absorbent material. The platen may be formed of a light-transmissible material.

Enhanced platen for pharmaceutical compounding

A system for preparing a pharmaceutical compound comprises: a scale having a platen configured for placement of an object thereon; a supporting arm comprising a first end coupled to a portion of the scale and a second end extending to a position above the platen of the scale; and an enclosure housing extending from the second end of the supporting arm and configured to house at least one input device. The enclosure housing has a curved front profile to minimize flow disturbance when the system is positioned within a flow hood.

Aerodynamically streamlined enclosure for input devices of a medication preparation system

A system for preparing a pharmaceutical compound comprises: a computing device comprising a user interface providing an operator with instructions for preparing the pharmaceutical compound and at least one processor operatively connected to the user interface; a scale operatively connected to the at least one processor; and an image capture device operatively connected to the at least one processor and the scale and positioned to capture an image of at least one of a component used in preparing the pharmaceutical compound and the pharmaceutical compound.

System and method for preparing a pharmaceutical compound

A sensor for use in a fluid flow application is provided. The sensor includes an inlet chamber configured to receive a fluid flow from a first conduit, an outlet chamber configured to provide the fluid flow to a second conduit, and a membrane separating the inlet chamber from the outlet chamber, the membrane including a fluid passage to allow the fluid flow from the inlet chamber to the outlet chamber. The sensor also includes a circuit component disposed on the membrane, having an electrical property configured to change according to a deformation of the membrane, and a conductor formed on a substrate and coupled with the circuit component, to provide an electrical signal based on a change in the electrical property of the circuit component. The membrane includes an epitaxial layer formed on the substrate. Methods for fabricating and using the above sensor are also presented.

Integrated sensor to monitor fluid delivery

An infusion pump () for delivery of a fluid is disclosed. The infusion pump allows a user to selectively control a flow rate of a fluid and includes a spike member () that is connectable to an injection port of an intravenous fluid container ().

Medical infusion pump for delivery of a fluid

Disclosed herein are diagnostic assays using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active particles, including liquid-based assays; magnetic capture assays; microparticle-nanoparticle satellite structures for signal amplification in an assay; composite SERS-active particles useful for enhanced detection of targets; and sample tubes and processes for using the same.

Assays using surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active particles

A system and method for classifying a sample are provided. The system includes a housing containing the sample, a sensing element to measure at least one physical parameter of the same, and a processor configured to receive and analyze the physical parameter measurement, and to determine if the sample can be classified based on the measurement. If the sample cannot be classified, the processor selects and applies other analytical techniques until the sample is classified. The method includes selecting an analytical technique to apply to a sample, applying the technique to the sample, obtaining the results of the analytical technique, and determining if the sample can be classified based on the analytical technique. The method further includes selecting and applying further analytical techniques if the sample was not classified, until the sample is able to be classified.

System and method for drug classification using multiple physical parameters

Described herein is a programmable portable infusion device. The infusion device may include electronics such as sensors, and can be programmed to detect parameters related to the proper administration of infusion. If the sensors detect that a parameter is outside of a defined boundary or range, the infusion device may notify a user that it may not be safe to administer infusion and may prevent infusion from occurring.
