Abstract
Packaging for a pharmaceutical product and a method of validating pharmaceuticals is disclosed. The packaging comprising a cavity; and validation circuitry comprising: a sensor adapted to output a signal in response to detecting a vapour in the cavity; and a detection circuit adapted to output an indication when the signal indicates a predefined vapour signature.
Claims25
A packaging for a pharmaceutical product comprising:
- a cavity;
- validation circuitry comprising:
- a sensor adapted to output a signal in response to detecting a vapour in the cavity;
- and,
- a detection circuit adapted to output an indication when the signal indicates a predefined vapour signature;
- a bottle that contains the pharmaceutical product and that comprises a lid, where the lid comprises the validation circuitry, wherein:
- the vapour is a marker vapour contained in the cavity and the cavity is a test cavity disposed in the lid comprising an inlet and an outlet;
- the lid is adapted such that when in a first closed position, the test cavity is in fluid connection with an interior of the bottle and is sealed from an exterior of the bottle;
- the lid is adapted such that when in a second closed position, the test cavity is sealed from the interior of the bottle and is in fluid connection with the exterior of the bottle;
- and
- the lid is adapted such that when the lid is moved from the first closed position to the second closed position, the vapour is released from the test cavity.

A method of validating pharmaceuticals comprising:
- generating a signal in response to sensing a vapour in a cavity of packaging for a pharmaceutical product using a sensor;
- and,
- indicating when the signal indicates a predefined vapour signature, wherein:
- the packaging comprises a bottle that contains the pharmaceutical product and the bottle comprises a lid and the lid comprises the sensor,
- the vapour is a marker vapour contained in the cavity,
- the cavity is a test cavity disposed in the lid comprising an inlet and an outlet,
- moving the lid to a first closed position causes the test cavity to be in fluid connection with an interior of the bottle and sealed from an exterior of the bottle,
- moving the lid to a second closed position causes the test cavity to be sealed from the interior of the bottle and in fluid connection with the exterior of the bottle, and
- moving the lid from the first closed position to the second closed position causes the vapour to be released from the test cavity.

Packaging for a pharmaceutical product comprising:
- means for generating a signal in response to sensing a vapour in a cavity of packaging for a pharmaceutical product using a means for sensing;
- and
- means for indicating when the signal indicates a predefined vapour signature, wherein:
- the packaging comprises a bottle that contains the pharmaceutical product,
- the bottle comprises a lid and the lid comprises the means for sensing,
- the vapour is a marker vapour contained in the cavity, and the cavity is a test cavity disposed in the lid comprising an inlet and an outlet,
- the lid is adapted such that when in a first closed position, the test cavity is in fluid connection with an interior of the bottle and is sealed from an exterior of the bottle,
- the lid is adapted such that when in a second closed position, the test cavity is sealed from the interior of the bottle and is in fluid connection with the exterior of the bottle, and
- the lid is adapted such that when the lid is moved from the first closed position to the second closed position, the vapour is released from the test cavity.
