By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Politics & Government Week -- A patent application by the inventor Nickell, Robert P. (Torrance, CA), filed on October 28, 2015, was made available online on May 12, 2016, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by VerticalNews correspondents.

This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution.

The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "With the changing reimbursements, types of health care insurance, and new regulations with regards to treatment, a medical practitioner and his/her team when treating a patient is under immense time pressures to perform quickly, efficiently and with safety for the patient. If a patient requires a singular or even multiple injections, the medical practitioner must rely on his/her team to first locate the necessary and correct injectable medications, insure they are the correct strength and percentage, insure dating is current, insure the top has not been contaminated, insure the liquid is not crystallized, or containing growth, insure there is sufficient medication in the vial, and insure that the injection has been stored at the proper temperature and humidity as well as all other possible, related materials and safety precautions needed to treat the patient. The medical practitioner can lose valuable time trying to not only locate the necessary drugs and materials to treat the patient but as well to insure the compliance, the safety of the patient by preventing contamination. In some instances, not all the drugs and materials may be readily available, in the current exam room, resulting in delayed treatment and possible and potential medical errors. In addition, the medical practitioner or his/her team may make a mistake by incorrectly choosing the drug, by incorrectly identifying the product, not checking the expiration date, not returning it to the proper environment for storage, or not having enough product and thus requiring an additional sterile vial to be opened to inject directly into the veins of a patient.

"There is a need in the art for a convenience kit that solves the above mentioned problems in the medical practitioner office."
