Abstract
A method and packaging for vaccinating or medicating an animal by implanting a solid dose medicament in an animal. The solid dose medicament, or plurality of such medicaments, are each color-coded to identify a particular active ingredient, then packaged in a pellet magazine through which the doses are visible, and thereafter the pellets are implanted, usually subcutaneously, into the base of the ear or in the neck of an animal. The same system can be used for colored ballistic implants.
Claims27
A method of inoculating animals with a plurality of biologically active pellets comprising:
- providing an implant apparatus for implanting biologically active pellets in an animal which can be operably coupled to a dosing pellet magazine;
- said dosing pellet magazine comprising:
- a series of loaded dosing pellet see-through columns, each loaded with a plurality of dosing pellets, each pellet color-coded to represent a particular medicament;
- and thereafter,
- implanting the plurality of dosing pellets in an animal to be inoculated with a single injection.
A dosing pellet magazine for use in inoculating an animal, comprising:
- a plurality of connected see through pellet dosing columns, each of said columns being loaded with a plurality of dosing pellets, with each pellet color-coded to represent a particular biologically active medicament.
A system method of packaging biologically active implants, comprising:
- selecting a plurality of biologically active medicaments for implant dosing;
- coloring each selected medicament with a unique color to represent the selected medicament;
- placing the medicaments in a see through pellet magazine, with the medicaments in a prearranged order;
- consistently using the same color scheme for packaging and instructional materials used with the packaged pellet implant doses.
A method of inoculating animals with a plurality of biologically active pellets comprising:
- providing a syringe assembly for implanting biologically active pellets in an animal which can be operably coupled to a dosing syringe;
- said dosing syringe comprising:
- a single loaded see-through syringe,
- loaded with a plurality of dosing pellets, each pellet color-coded to represent a particular medicament;
- and thereafter,
- implanting the plurality of dosing pellets in an animal to be inoculated with a single injection.
A dosing syringe for use in inoculating an animal, comprising:
- a single see through pellet dosing syringe being loaded with a plurality of dosing pellets, each pellet being color-coded to represent a particular biologically active medicament.
A method of packaging biologically active implants, comprising:
- selecting a plurality of biologically active medicaments for implant dosing;
- coloring each selected medicament with a unique color to represent the selected medicament;
- placing the medicaments in a single see through pellet dosing syringe with the medicaments in a prearranged order;
- consistently using the same color scheme for packaging and instructional materials used with the packaged pellet implant doses.
