Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for systems and methods to dynamically filling inoculations in proper quantities. Embodiments are directed towards a multi-dose prefilled reconstituted device (MPRD) that is configured to automatically prepare a plurality of vials for inoculations quickly and accurately, wherein the MPRD is a transportable device that may be moved from a laboratory environment to a field environment and/or a clinical environment.
Claims17
A multi-dose prefilled reconstituted device comprising:
- a diluent cartridge configured to store at least one diluent for an inoculation, the diluent cartridge including diluent reservoirs configured to store the at least one diluent and a first unique identifier;
- a linear cartridge configured to store a plurality of vials and a second unique identifier;
- a housing of the multi-dose prefilled reconstituted device having a first interface being configured to receive the diluent cartridge and a second interface being configured to receive the linear cartridge;
- a memory device configured to store a mapping between the diluent cartridge and the linear cartridge, the mapping being based on the first unique identifier and the second unique identifier, the mapping including a number of the plurality of vials within the linear cartridge, medication associated with each of the plurality of vials, the amount of diluent within the diluent cartridge, a lower temperature threshold associated with the linear cartridge, and an upper temperature threshold associated with the linear cartridge;
- an injection interface configured to receive diluent from the diluent cartridge and place the diluent into at least one of the vials within the linear cartridge based on the mapping;
- a logic module configured to determine a quantity of diluent and timing of when diluent from the diluent cartridge is placed into the at least one vials;
- and
- an identification module configured to determine a unique identifier associated with the diluent cartridge.
