摘要:
An Automated Pharmacy Admixture System (APAS) may include a manipulator thattransports medical containers such as bags, vials, or syringes about asubstantially aseptic admixing chamber. In a preferred implementation, agripper assembly is configured to substantially universally grasp and retainsyringes, IV bags, and vials of varying shapes and sizes. In an illustrativeembodiment, a gripping device may include claws configured to grasp aplurality of different types of IV bags, each type having a different fillport configuration. Embodiments may include a controller adapted to actuate atransport assembly to place a fill port of the bag, vial or syringe intoregister with a filling port such as a cannula located at a filling station,or be equipped with carousel transport systems that are adapted to conveybags, vials, and syringes to the admixture system and deliver constitutedmedications in bags, vials or syringes to an egress area.
