Description

Conditioning device that allows the distribution of product units secured.

The present invention relates to the distribution of units of a product, for example a pharmaceutical specialty that can be supplied to the patient in Pharmacy office or hospital pharmacy.

The pharmaceutical specialties are usually formulated as units and then conditioned. Ordinarily, and in particular according to the European regulation, is called "conditioning primary "the container or any other form of conditioning that is in direct contact with the pharmaceutical specialty and is called "outer packaging" the packaging in which the primary conditioning is placed. The Quantity of units in each outer packing is usually previously determined between the pharmaceutical laboratory and the local authorities responsible for the regulation on Public health of the country considered.

Primary conditioning can in particular take the form of blisters, bags or bags, in particular sealed and / or glued sheets and the outer packaging of a cardboard box. The most frequent, in this case, is the box complete that is sold by the pharmacist to the patient.

However, it happens that the patient does not consume all the units of the pharmaceutical specialty that have been sold, not being the office pharmacists authorized to "decondition" presentations Pharmaceuticals in certain countries.

One of the procedures that can be used to dispense the exact number of units of the Pharmaceutical specialty for each treatment may consist of condition in bulk, for example in jars, such units and in supply the exact number to the patient simply counting them

In addition to the fact that, for reasons regulatory, all countries do not know this practice, it is Of course, this procedure requires many manipulations for pharmacist, and it can be annoying. On the other hand, the same It has the disadvantage of not being adapted to specialties pharmaceuticals other than tablets or also about tablets sensitive to moisture or tampering repeated

Patent application GB-A-2 223 001 proposes in particular a conditioning system that allows the pharmacist easily supply the required number of units of pharmaceutical specialties while keeping them in their original conditioning. More precisely, this request for patent describes a blister-type conditioning in the form of a roll consisting of a succession of transverse bands separated by perforation lines. The roll can be conditioned in a box that presents a window through the which can be distributed.

Always in the field of low conditioning blister, patent application FR-A-2 786 158 unveils a conditioning device that comes in the form of a tape that has one or two alveoli in the sense of width, rolled on itself to form a roll. This application further describes a winder that allows to extract the desired number of blisters.

In addition to the problem related to the adjustment of the number of units of pharmaceutical specialty to the treatment prescribed, the safety of the products dispensed constitutes a constant concern, both from the point of view of the traceability as of the fight against counterfeiting.

In different countries, some reflections and in particular in the United States to put to provision of reliable authentication systems to avoid these problems.

The present invention provides among others provide a solution to this security issue, in particularly in the case of pharmaceutical or medical specialties including vaccines or syringes, but also for others products, in particular of small size and / or high added value and that they need a security, such as chips for phones, loose parts or jewelry or watches.

It comes to it, according to a first of its aspects, thanks to a conditioning device that understands:

- a plurality of elements of conditioning each comprising at least one unit of a product, in solidarity with each other or included in a same outer packing,

- a plurality of security elements that belong to the conditioning or solidarity elements of these and arranged so that they allow joint distribution of at least one conditioning element and of at least A security element.

In a first embodiment of the invention, the conditioning device comprises a band formed by a succession of conditioning elements.

Advantageously, two elements of adjacent conditioning are separated by a line of embrittlement The latter may be adapted to a separation manual or automated, and you can present for example a series of holes or material extractions, a precut or a weakening linked to a heat treatment, for example by means of a laser.

The band may be roll conditioned. In a variant, the band is conditioned in a folded state, by accordion example.

In a second embodiment of the invention, the conditioning elements are assembled by middle of a binding. The conditioning elements they can for example be glued or welded to each other or be joined by turns or staples, or by any other appropriate fixing means.

In a third embodiment of the invention, the conditioning elements are comprised, for example in disorder in the same outer packaging and each conditioning element comprises at least one element of security.

Each conditioning element can Understand a single unit of product or more. When each item conditioning comprises several product units, these the latter may be, for example, arranged according to one or more rows

The number of product units per item conditioning is for example between 1 and 10.

In an embodiment of the invention, Each conditioning element comprises a blister. Of one classical form, a blister can have one or several alveoli usually of plastic material very often transparent, sealed by an operculate film, of plastic material or metallic or metallized, the product or products being arranged in the or the corresponding alveoli. The blister is also commonly called thermoformed ampoule, platelet thermoforming or honeycomb platelet.

The conditioning element can also comprise at least two sealed and / or glued sheets, for example based on aluminum, plastic and / or paper, arranged in particular so that each unit of product is included in an individual package.

As a product that can be stored in a conditioning device according to the present invention, is You can cite any product, particularly chemical, such as food supplements, cosmetic products, products Phytosanitary or pharmaceutical specialties, vaccines or syringes or other various products, in particular of small size and / or high added value and / or that they need a security, such as chips for example mobile phone or other electronic devices, loose parts, some jewels or watches.

When the product is a specialty pharmaceutical, all galenic forms can be used to be conditioned in the device according to the present invention. Thus, the doses can take the form of tablets, granules, of pills, capsules, typically adapted for oral administration or suppositories or adapted eggs respectively for rectal and vaginal administration, or also of solutions, powders and creams.

Security elements may constitute a first level security, being detectable to the naked eye by the public without external help of an apparatus and may in particular be chosen from: elements with variable optical effect and / or diffractive and / or interferential such as holographic elements, and iridescent or liquid crystals; watermarks; the prints of a varnish or a specific ink; the plotters thermochromic, visible colored fibers and / or tablets of different colors or a mixture of fibers and / or tablets colored; interferential optical filters; the elements with Fresnel lens effect; lenticular networks; the microperformations; colored metals and / or metal oxides different; the security threads, these threads can be metallic, metallized, metallized / demetallized and / or printed, for example, and understand information that appears in positive and / or in negative such as a text, a drawing or a logo.

The security elements can also be of second level, even third level, detectable with the help of an appropriate detection device more or less sophisticated, and in particular chosen among: the identification devices by RFID radio frequency, magnetic or crystalline coatings; barcodes; hidden impressions for example of numerical filigree type (hidden and coded points field); the rare earths; the metallic and / or magnetic fibers or particles; tracers detectable by fluorescence X; the particles luminescent (fluorescent, phosphorescent) such as fibers, aggregates or microspheres sensitive to infrared rays or ultraviolet rays; the microspheres; visible particles under UV; fluorescent nanoparticles, in particular quantum UV dots; the elements detectable with microwaves; the anti-theft elements; the threads with magnetic coding, the piezochromic, thermochromic, photochromic tracers; all the types of markers and in particular biomarkers, in particular  DNA based; plotters that change color in contact with one or more predetermined products and any combination of the aforementioned security elements. Among the substances that react to UV, pigments that re-emit can be used in the visible when an excitation takes place at the lengths of 365 nm or 254 nm wave like mineral pigments or pigments organic products provided by the companies NEMOTO and HONEYWELL. Be They may also use pigments that re-emit with a color different from the two wavelengths mentioned above, such as for example the pigment CD R / GI of the company HONEYWELL.

You can also use pigments called "up-converter" or antistokes that are excited in the IR and reissuing in the visible as the pigment LUMILUX UC6 of the company HONEYWELL. In the same way, they can use pigments that are excited in the UV and re-emit in the IR such as the pigment IR CD 139 of the company HONEYWELL that, excited under a wavelength close to 300 nm, Remits between 900 and 1000 nm. You can also use the pigments that are excited in the IR and that reissue in the IR as the pigment IR CD 170 of the company HONEYWELL which, excited under a wavelength of 620 nm, reissues around 1050 nm.

The conditioning elements 2 comprise in the illustrated example, blisters 6, comprising a platelet that has alveoli 4 that each contain a unit of product 3. The alveoli 4 of a platelet are closed by a opercle 8.

The conditioning elements 2 form a band 5 conditioned in roll, comprising each element of conditioning 2 a row of alveoli 4.

Band 5 has some embrittlement lines 7 that each separate two conditioning elements 2 adjacent. These embrittlement lines 7 may have a series of holes or extractions of material, a precut or a weakening linked to a heat treatment, for example by means of a laser.

The conditioning elements 2 present in the illustrated example a substantially rectangular shape of major side that extends perpendicular to the direction longitudinal of the band 5.

In the example considered, the device conditioning 1 comprises security elements 9 that they can be first and / or second security elements level (s) or more.

Among the first security elements level, can be cited: the elements with variable optical effects and / or diffractive and / or interferential such as the elements holographic, iridescent or with liquid crystals; the watermarks; prints of a varnish or a specific ink; thermochromic tracers; visible fibers and / or planks colored even of different colors or a mixture of fibers and / or colored tablets; interferential optical filters; the Fresnel lens effect elements; lenticular networks; the microperforations; colored metals and / or metal oxides different, the security threads, these threads can be metallic, metallized, metallized / demetallized and / or printed, by example, and understand information that appears in positive and / or in negative such as a text, a drawing or a logo; and any combination of these security elements.

Second level security elements or More can be chosen from: radio frequency devices RFID; magnetic or crystalline coatings; the codes of bars; hidden impressions such as filigree type numeric (field of hidden and coded points); the lands rare the metallic and / or magnetic fibers or particles; the tracers detectable by fluorescence X, the particles luminescent, in particular fluorescent or phosphorescent, such such as fibers, aggregates or light-sensitive microspheres infrared to ultraviolet rays; the microspheres; the particles visible under UV; the fluorescent nanoparticles, in particular quantum dots (quantum dots) UV; The elements microwave detectable, anti-theft elements; the threads with magnetic coding; the piezochromic tracers, thermochromic, photochromic; all types of markers and in in particular biomarkers, in particular based on DNA, plotters that change color in contact with one or more default products and any combination of these Security elements.

The security elements 9 may be dispersed or not within each conditioning element 2.

In the example illustrated in Figure 1, the security elements 9 are presented in the form of fibers, but the security elements 9 may be presented other than in fiber form, for example in the form of particles.

The security elements 9 can be introduced en masse into the plastic material or be present in the surface of this or on the operculum 8.

When security elements 9 are about fibers, these can be by visible and colored examples different so that they provide a security system of first level. They can also be metallic or magnetic, for example, in order to create a second security system level.

Security elements 9 may also not be dispersed within a conditioning element 2 and each conditioning element may for example comprise a single security element, as illustrated in figure 4. This security element 9 is for example a device of RFID radio frequency or any other security element selected for example in the lists of security items given above, first level, second level or more.

Security element 9 is for example embedded at least partially in the plastic material of the blister platelet, at the level of an alveolus or not.

Conditioning elements 2 may not comprise blister and units 3 may for example be contained between two sheets 10 and 11, as illustrated in the Figure 6, these sheets being fixed to each other so that form a sack or bag containing unit 3 of product.

The sheets 10 and 11 are for example glued or heat-welded and can present a composite structure, which it comprises, for example, a layer of metal, in particular aluminum, laminated with a layer of a thermoplastic and / or glue material.

In the case of bags or bags, the element of conditioning can for example comprise an element of security 9 supported by one of the sheets 10 and 11, outside of these, for example in the form of a security thread.

The security element 9 may also be present in the interface between sheets 10 and 11, as has been illustrated in figure 8, for example in the assembly area of these.

The security element 9 may also be present inside the compartment containing the or the
product units 3, for example being fixed or deposited on the inner surface of one of the
leaves.

Figure 10 illustrates the case in which each conditioning element 2 only comprises one unit of product 3, which allows to form a tape.

Figure 11 illustrates a variant according to which the conditioning element only contains one unit of product 3 and in which it is arranged messy in a outer packaging 13, which can be a simple bottle by example.

A conditioning device 1 can be used for example as follows.

Depending on the number of product units desired, the user separates one or more elements of conditioning 2 of the rest of the band 5, along a embrittlement line 7.

As can be seen, the separation of a conditioning element 2 allows to keep at least one security element 9 jointly and severally with it, so that the authentication and / or traceability analysis, in particular, can be insured whatever the number of units of separate product.

Regardless of the presence or not of security elements within each element of conditioning 2, conditioning device 1 can comprise information carriers 18, as illustrated in figure 12.

In the example in this figure, the device conditioning 1 comprises, between each pair of rows of alveoli 4, an information medium 18 comprising information relating to the conditions of use of the product.

When this is a pharmaceutical specialty, This information is related to therapeutic indications and to the dosage, for example.

Information carriers 18 can understand an impression of an ink on the elements of conditioning 2.

In a variant, the information media 18 may be applied on the conditioning elements 2, being welded or glued on, for example.

Each information medium 18 can understand some apparent mentions, such as a text by example.

Information carriers 18 can each understand a barcode or hidden print and coded whose reading allows access, in particular through a computer and / or telephone network, for example the Internet network, to all or part of the note on a computer screen or of a mobile phone or any other device, and / or print this note.

In the case of blisters, the supports of information 18 may be arranged on the face of the conditioning elements 2 on which the alveoli 4 they form a projection, as illustrated in figure 15.

The information carriers 18 may be glued or welded on a marginal zone 11 of the elements of conditioning 2, as illustrated in Figure 17.

In order to allow the joint separation of a conditioning element 2 and an information medium 18, band 5 advantageously has a embrittlement line 7 which extends over information carriers 18, as You can see in figure 13.

Information media 18 can comprise an unfolded sheet or, in a variant, a folded sheet in accordion, as illustrated in figure 18.

In a variant too, as illustrated in Figure 19, the information carriers 18 comprise a plurality of sheets joined according to a common edge. These sheets can be joined for example with the help of staples 19, as has been illustrated in figure 20. In a variant, the sheets may be units by rivets, by gluing or welding, not being this limiting list.

Reference may be made in particular to the US-6 669 236 which discloses examples of means for assembling information media on an element conditioning

In certain embodiments, the supports of information 18 can be made based on subject matter fibrous, in particular cellulose and / or synthetic fibers, or also in the form of threads or plastic sheets in particular based on polyolefins, in particular as, the POLYART® synthetic paper of the SOCIEDAD ARJOBEX Limited, or also among some composed of example a complex paper / plastic film. The supports of Information 18 may be paper.

If desired, in order to increase security of the conditioning device and / or ensure traceability of this, it is possible to incorporate in the information supports 18 and / or the conditioning elements 2 elements of security such as those mentioned above.

It can be done for example on each support of information 18 a printout of a security ink which it comprises for example magnetic pigments and / or pigments optically variable They can also be incorporated into the fibers of each information medium 18, when this is done in paper, markers and / or magnetic fibers or others.

It can also, in particular in the case of example of figure 13, have a security thread that extends along the edge of the band on the information carriers 18 successive

The conditioning device 1, when it is provided with information supports 18, it is used by Example as follows.

Depending on the number of product units desired, the user separates one or more elements of conditioning 2 of the rest of the band 5, along a embrittlement line 7.

The separation of an element of conditioning 2 may not alter information support associated 18.

The information carriers 18 remain solidarity of the conditioning elements 2 after separation of these.

On the other hand, when a product unit 3 it is removed from its socket 4, the information support 18 remains intact

In the examples of figures 12 and 13 in in particular, the conditioning elements form a band of Roll conditioned.

A figure 21 has been shown conditioning device 20 comprising a plurality of conditioning elements 21 with each, in the case of conditioning elements 2 described above, one row of alveoli 4 and an information support 18.

The conditioning elements 21 form a band 22 folded in accordion.

In the example considered, the fold lines 25 correspond to the embrittlement lines that allow separation the conditioning elements 21.

Each conditioning element 21 can comprise a security thread 9 embedded in a layer of the element conditioning This security thread can for example be a metallic thread with visible inscriptions on transparency, in transmitted light.

A figure 22 has been shown conditioning device 30 according to another example of embodiment of the invention, comprising a plurality of conditioning elements 31.

These are linked through a bound 35 arranged to allow separating the elements of conditioning 31 according to needs.

The conditioning elements 31 can be joined for example by bonding or welding, when the material of the conditioning elements 31 allows it.

In a variant, the elements of conditioning 31 may be attached with the aid of turns, or any other appropriate assembly means.

A figure 22 has been shown distributor 40 comprising a receptacle 41, in particular a box, for example cardboard, to receive a device 1 roll conditioning.

This receptacle 41 has an opening 42 a through which one end of the band 5 extends.

To use the distributor 40, the user strip the band 5 in order to remove the number of elements of conditioning 2 desired.

Then the user separates the element (s) from conditioning 2 corresponding to the desired amount of rest of the band 5.
