Medical device for rolling and mixing a medicament within a medicament vial along a track

A system comprising:

• a medicament vial containing a medicament, the medicament comprising a lyophilized drug and a diluent, the medicament vial comprising a cylindrical body extending along a longitudinal axis and defining a reservoir for containing the medicament;
• and
• a medical device for mixing the medicament contained within the medicament vial, the medical device comprising a track configured to support the medicament vial, the track comprising an inclined first track section arranged such that, in use, the medicament vial can roll along the track to mix the medicament contained within the medicament vial, the track having a width that corresponds to a height of the medicament vial, the track comprising a first lateral guide wall and a second lateral guide wall configured to inhibit a user from placing a medicament vial having a greater height than the width of the track into the medical device;
• and
• a housing containing the track and comprising a plurality of entry apertures spaced apart from each other, the plurality of entry apertures comprising a first entry aperture arranged on a horizontal top wall of the housing and a second entry aperture arranged on a vertical side wall of the housing, wherein the plurality of entry apertures are configured to selectively provide access to the track according to a size and orientation of the medicament vial, wherein each entry aperture of the plurality of entry apertures allows the medicament vial to be positioned onto a different corresponding position on the track.
