• wherein the device automatically prepares a reconstituted drug by transferring the reconstitution liquid or the liquid drug and the solid or semi-solid drug between the vial and the cartridge, and
• wherein once the reconstitution process is complete the device automatically indicates that the reconstitution process is complete and that the reconstituted drug is contained in the cartridge either ready for delivery or for a new vial to be inserted into the connector.
