Abstract
A computer-implemented method for execution by a processor of a computing device. The method comprises implementing a computerized graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a user of the computing device with an opportunity to identify a pharmaceutical compounding formula; consulting a database at least partly on a basis of the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula in order to determine mixing parameters for a planetary mixer, associated with the identified pharmaceutical compounding formula; and causing a mixer to subject a container to superimposed rotation and revolution movements in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from consulting the database.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method for execution by a processor of a computing device, comprising:
- implementing a computerized graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a user of the computing device with an opportunity to specify a pharmaceutical compounding formula;
- consulting a database at least partly on a basis of the specified pharmaceutical compounding formula in order to determine mixing parameters for a planetary mixer, the mixing parameters being associated with the specified pharmaceutical compounding formula in the database;
- sending instructions to the planetary mixer to apply superimposed rotation and revolution movements, wherein the instructions convey at least one of a speed of the rotation movements and a speed of the revolution movements;
- and
- causing a motor assembly to apply the superimposed rotation and revolution movements to a container in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from the consulting step.
A system, comprising:
- a planetary mixer comprising a motor assembly configured to controllably apply superimposed rotation and revolution movements to a container;
- a database storing pharmaceutical compounding formulas and associated mixing parameters indicative of at least one of a speed of a rotation movement and a speed of a revolution movement, and mixing duration;
- and
- a communication device, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium storing computer-readable program instructions;
- at least one processor operably connected to the storage medium and configured to execute the program instructions, wherein execution of the program instructions by the at least one processor causes carrying out of a method that comprises:
- implementing a computerized graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a user of the communication device with an opportunity to specify a pharmaceutical compounding formula;
- consulting the database at least partly on a basis of the specified pharmaceutical compounding formula in order to determine mixing parameters associated therewith;
- sending instructions to the planetary mixer to apply the superimposed rotation and revolution movements, wherein the instructions convey at least one of a speed of the rotation movements and a speed of the revolution movements;
- and
- causing the motor assembly to apply the superimposed rotation and revolution movements to the container in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from said consulting.
A non-transitory medium storing computer-readable instructions which, when read and executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the device to carry out a method that comprises:
- implementing a computerized graphical user interface (GUI) that provides a user of the computing device with an opportunity to specify a pharmaceutical compounding formula;
- consulting a database at least partly on a basis of the specified pharmaceutical compounding formula in order to determine mixing parameters for a planetary mixer, the mixing parameters being associated with the specified pharmaceutical compounding formula in the database;
- sending instructions to the planetary mixer to apply superimposed rotation and revolution movements, wherein the instructions convey at least one of a speed of the rotation movements and a speed of the revolution movements;
- and
- causing a motor assembly to apply the superimposed rotation and revolution movements to a container in accordance with the mixing parameters determined from said consulting.
