Traditional sterile medication preparation systems often suffer from problems due to design estimation errors and insufficient pressure control mechanisms, such as unreasonable gas path diameters, inappropriate pump power, and unstable outlet air pressure. These problems can lead to unstable airflow, large pressure fluctuations, and unsatisfactory filtration effects, affecting the stability and reliability of the system. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the blow and inhale buttons of the air pump are located on the handle.
[0007] Furthermore, the air pump adopts an oil-free lubrication design.
[0008] Furthermore, the filter pore size is 0.2 micrometers.
[0009] Furthermore, the air pump outlet pipe diameter is 8–12 mm, the valve plate air passage pipe diameter is 6–8 mm, and the filter outlet pipe diameter is 4–5 mm.

[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the aseptic dispensing system main unit 1 is connected to handle 2, and handle 2 is connected to dissolving tank 3. The user presses button 21 on handle 2 to drive the rubber piston (not shown in the figure) inside dissolving tank 3 to move back and forth. Specifically, the rubber piston of dissolving tank 3 moves backward to draw in the drug solution, and then moves forward to push the drug solution into the container where the required drug is to be prepared, completing the dispensing operation. See Figure 3 The handle 2 contains a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter 6, the filter 6 having a pore size not exceeding 0.22 micrometers, preferably 0.2 micrometers. See [link / reference]. Figure 2 The main unit 1 is equipped with an air pump 4 and a valve plate 5 for adjusting the gas flow and direction. The air pump 4 is connected to the filter 6 inside the handle 2 via the valve plate 5 in the air circuit. The air pump 4 adopts an oil-free lubrication design, so it will not contaminate the gas during operation.
[0018] The following details the operation of the aseptic drug preparation system. First, turn on the main unit 1 to start the air pump 4. The air pump 4 injects gas into the valve plate 5 through the connecting pipe. The gas passes through the valve plate 5 and enters the filter 6, where it is filtered to become sterile gas. The sterile gas is discharged from the outlet of the filter 6. Next, attach the dissolving device 3 to the handle 2 (this is existing technology and will not be described in detail here), aligning the opening 32 at the rear end of the dissolving device 3 with the outlet of the filter 6 inside the handle 2. Press the suction button 212 on the handle 2, causing the air pump 4 to draw in air in the reverse direction between the opening 32 at the rear end of the dissolving device 3 and the rear end of the rubber piston. This creates a negative pressure between the opening 32 at the rear end of the dissolving device and the rear end of the rubber piston, causing the rubber piston to move backward and reset. Then, press the air blowing button 211 on button 21 to cause the air pump 4 to spray gas in a positive direction, creating positive air pressure. The gas is filtered into sterile gas by filter 6 and blown into the cylinder from the opening 32 at the rear end of the cylinder. Under the action of positive air pressure, the rubber piston moves forward, expelling the air located between the front end of the rubber piston and the front end 31 of the cylinder. Since the opening 32 at the rear end of the cylinder is connected to the sterile gas, a sterile environment is formed inside the cylinder. After the air between the front end of the rubber piston and the front end 31 of the cylinder is completely expelled, the cylinder draws in the drug solution through the needle 7, and then pushes the drug solution into the container for the required drug preparation, completing the drug preparation operation.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] (1) The above-mentioned air path diameter design, air pump 4 power and filter 6 outlet air pressure settings are as follows: air pump 4 outlet pipe diameter is 9mm, valve plate 5 air path pipe diameter is 7mm, filter 5 outlet pipe diameter is 5mm; air pump 4 power is 200W; filter 6 outlet air pressure is positive pressure 0.2Mpa, negative pressure -89Kpa. The capacity specification of the dissolving device 3 is 25ml.
[0021] (2) Sterile environment test
[0022] Airborne bacteria testing was used: Airborne bacteria refer to microbial particles suspended in the air, and their concentration directly affects the cleanliness of the environment. At the air outlet of filter 6, airborne bacteria samplers were used to collect microorganisms in sterile gas, inoculated into culture medium, and colony counts were performed. The entire sampling and counting process was repeated 3 times under the same conditions, and the average value was taken. The test results are shown in Table 1.
[0023] Planktonic bacteria count: The number of planktonic bacteria in a normal environment is usually 100-1000 CFU / m³. 3 According to the Chinese pharmaceutical industry standard YY 0033-2000 "Management Standard for the Production of Sterile Medical Devices", the airborne bacteria count in a sterile medical device cleanroom (requiring a Class 100 standard, equivalent to ISO Class 5) should be ≤5 CFU / m³. 3 .
[0024] (3) Airflow smoothness test
[0025] 1. Flow rate test: Use a laser Doppler velocimeter at the air outlet of filter 6 to measure the flow rate at multiple points and calculate the average flow rate and the standard deviation of the flow rate.
[0026] 2. Pressure measurement: Install pressure sensors before and after the air outlet of filter 6 to record the positive pressure fluctuation range over a period of time.
[0027] 3. Smoke test: Use a smoke generator to release visible smoke and observe its flow path at the air outlet of filter 6. Check for any obvious fluctuations or stagnant areas to verify the uniformity and stability of the airflow.
[0028] The results of the above three tests are detailed in Table 2.
