Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Befüllung von patientenindividuellen Verpackungen.The present invention relates to a device for filling patient-specific packaging.
Patientenindividuelle Verpackungen enthalten üblicherweise mehrere große Blisternäpfe, in welche je nach Einnahmezeitpunkt unterschiedliche Medikamente eingefüllt sind. Eine typische Verpackungsform ist ein Wochenblister, bei dem die in Zeilen und Spalten angeordneten Blisternäpfe jeweils nach Wochentag und Einnahmezeitpunkt sortiert sind. Die Herstellung derartiger patientenindividueller Verpackungen ist insbesondere in Pflegeheimen sowie für die häusliche Pflege gut geeignet, weil der Patient zum jeweiligen Einnahmezeitpunkt lediglich den entsprechenden Blisternapf öffnen und die darin enthaltenen Tabletten einnehmen muss. Auf diese Weise lässt sich gerade bei Dauerpatienten die sichere Einnahme der Medikamente zu den richtigen Zeitpunkten gewährleisten.Patient-specific packaging usually contain several large blister pens, in which, depending on the time of taking different medications are filled. A typical packaging form is a weekly blister, in which the blister pens arranged in rows and columns are sorted according to the day of the week and the time of taking them. The production of such patient-specific packaging is particularly well suited in nursing homes and for home care, because the patient only has to open the respective blister cup and take the tablets contained therein at the time of each administration. In this way, it is possible to ensure the safe intake of the medication at just the right time, especially for long-term patients.
Auch andere Formen von patientenindividuellen Verpackungen sind bekannt, wobei aber jeweils jedem Einnahmezeitpunkt eine bestimmte Tablette bzw. Tablettenkombination zugeordnet ist. Zur Herstellung von patientenindividuellen Verpackungen existieren vielfältige Verfahren.Other forms of patient-specific packaging are known, but in each case each administration time is assigned to a specific tablet or tablet combination. For the production of patient-specific packaging, there are a variety of methods.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Befüllung von patientenindividuellen Verpackungen zu schaffen, welche einen Standardbedarf von Tabletten innerhalb kürzester Zeit und bei geringem Platzverbrauch bereitstellt.The present invention has for its object to provide a device for filling patient-specific packaging, which provides a standard requirement of tablets within a very short time and with low space consumption.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Befüllung von patientenindividuellen Verpackungen mit unterschiedlichen Tabletten weist ein drehbares Trommellager auf, in dem Kassetten mit jeweils unterschiedlichen Tabletten gelagert sind, welche für eine Einzeltablettenabgabe geeignet sind. Außerdem weist sie ein dreidimensional bewegliches Greifersystem auf, das zum Herausnehmen und Zurückstellen von Kassetten aus dem bzw. in das Trommellager dient, sowie eine Steuereinheit zum Steuern der Bewegung des Trommellagers und des Greifersystems auf Basis eines Rezeptes für die patientenindividuelle Verpackung.The inventive device for filling patient-specific packaging with different tablets has a rotatable drum bearing, are stored in the cassette with different tablets, which are suitable for a single tablet delivery. In addition, it has a three-dimensionally movable gripper system, which serves for removing and returning cartridges from or into the drum bearing, and a control unit for controlling the movement of the drum bearing and the gripper system based on a recipe for the patient-specific packaging.
Eine gleichzeitige Abgabe aller Tabletten in die einzelnen Blisternäpfe der patientenindividuellen Verpackung wird dadurch gewährleistet, dass die Vorrichtung eine Vorspeicherplatte aufweist, welche mit Näpfen versehen ist, die die Tabletten vor der Befüllung der patientenindividuellen Verpackung aufnehmen.A simultaneous delivery of all tablets in the individual blister pots of the patient-specific packaging is ensured by the fact that the device has a Vorspeicherplatte, which is provided with wells that receive the tablets before filling the patient-individual packaging.
Eine besonders einfache Abgabe der in der Vorspeicherplatte zwischengelagerten Tabletten in die patientenindividuelle Verpackung erreicht man, wenn die Näpfe der Vorspeicherplatte bewegliche Bodenplatten aufweisen.A particularly simple delivery of the intermediately stored in the Vorspeicherplatte tablets in the patient-individual packaging can be achieved if the wells of the Vorspeicherplatte have movable bottom plates.
Eine schnelle Verarbeitung der befüllten patientenindividuellen Verpackung wird erreicht, indem die Vorrichtung mindestens einen verfahrbaren Wagen aufweist, auf dem die patientenindividuelle Verpackung gelagert ist. Vorzugsweise ist der mindestens eine Wagen auf Schienen geführt.A fast processing of the filled patient-individual packaging is achieved by the device having at least one movable carriage on which the patient-specific packaging is stored. Preferably, the at least one car is guided on rails.
Das Herausnehmen und Zurückstellen von Kassetten sowie das Aussondern leerer Kassetten und das erneute Einstellen neuer Kassetten in das Trommellager wird beschleunigt, wenn das Greifersystem zwei Greifer aufweist, die um 180° versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind.The removal and return of cartridges and the ejection of empty cassettes and re-adjusting new cartridges in the drum bearing is accelerated when the gripper system has two grippers, which are arranged offset by 180 ° to each other.
Eine möglichst einfache Ansteuerung der einzelnen Abwurfpositionen für die Tabletten wird erreicht, indem die Vorrichtung eine fahrbare Halterung aufweist, auf welcher eine Kassette zum Zwecke der Tablettenabgabe gelagert werden kann, wobei die Halterung oberhalb der Vorspeicherplatte verfahrbar ist.The simplest possible control of the individual discharge positions for the tablets is achieved by the device having a mobile holder on which a cassette for the purpose of tablet delivery can be stored, wherein the holder above the Vorspeicherplatte is movable.
Zum Zwecke einer kontrollierten Abgabe weist die fahrbare Halterung eine Durchtrittsöffnung für die abzugebenden Tabletten auf, in deren Bereich ein kapazitiver Sensor zur Füllkontrolle angeordnet sein kann.For the purpose of a controlled delivery, the mobile holder has a passage opening for the tablets to be dispensed, in the area of which a capacitive sensor for filling control can be arranged.
Eine Überwachung der korrekten Befüllung der Blisternäpfe der patientenindividuellen Verpackung erzielt man auch mittels einer Kamera, welche über der Füllposition angeordnet ist.A monitoring of the correct filling of the blister pots of the patient-specific packaging is also achieved by means of a camera, which is arranged above the filling position.
Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen.Further details and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description with reference to the drawings.
