Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage zur personenindividuellen Bestückung von Befüllblistern mit Medikamenten entsprechend vorgegebenen Verschreibungsdaten, wobei die Befüllblister in einer Matrixkonfiguration in Zeilen entsprechend einer Anzahl von Einnahmezeiten während eines Tages und Spalten entsprechend einer Anzahl von Tagen, beispielsweise Wochentagen, angeordnete Aufnahmefächer für jeweilige Medikamenten-Verabreichungseinheiten aufweisen.The invention relates to a system for personal placement of Befüllblistern with drugs according to predetermined prescription data, the Befüllblister in a matrix configuration in rows corresponding to a number of times during a day and columns corresponding to a number of days, such as days of the week, arranged receiving compartments for respective drug administration units exhibit.
Aus der
Derartige Wochenblister sind für Patienten, die regelmäßig mehrere verschiedene Medikamente einnehmen müssen, eine Hilfe dafür, einerseits das Einnehmen wichtiger Medikamente nicht zu vergessen und andererseits auch einen zuverlässigen Überblick darüber zu behalten, welche Medikamente schon eingenommen sind, um eine unter Umständen schädliche Übermedikation zu vermeiden.Such weekly blister packs are for patients who regularly need to take several different drugs, a help not only to remember the intake of important medications and on the other hand to keep a reliable overview of what medications are already taken to avoid a potentially harmful over-medication ,
Aus der
Da die von der Verpackungsanlage verarbeiteten Medikamente in sehr unterschiedliche Mengen verschrieben werden, können bei den seltener verschriebenen Medikamenten relativ lange "Standzeiten" in den vorübergehenden Verpackungen, d.h. den Streifenblistern auftreten. Damit die Medikamente nicht durch das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit oder dgl. unbrauchbar werden, muß der Streifenblister daher eine gute Versiegelung des Aufnahmeraumes für das Medikament insbesondere gegenüber Wasserdampf aufweisen. Diese hat andererseits den Nachteil, dass sie bei Anwendung einer mechanischen Kraft auf die Medikamenteneinheit durch den Stößel nicht zuverlässig an der richtigen Stelle oder nicht vollständig aufreißt, so dass es zu Fehlern bei der Bestückung der Blisterpackung kommen kann. Da schon die falsche Befüllung eines Faches zwingend die Aussortierung der gesamten Blisterpackung bedingt, sind Fehler bei der "Umpackung" der Medikamente aus dem Streifenblister in die Blisterpackung mit hohem Aufwand und Kosten verbunden. Weiterhin ist nachteilig, dass die Wartung einer Medikamenten-Befüllstation aufgrund des Taktbetriebes zum Stillstand der ganzen Anlage führt.Since the drugs processed by the packaging plant are prescribed in very different quantities, the less frequently prescribed medicines can have relatively long "lifetimes" in the temporary packaging, ie the strip blisters. Thus, the drugs are not unusable by the ingress of moisture or the like., The Strip Blister must therefore have a good seal of the receiving space for the drug especially against water vapor. On the other hand, this has the disadvantage that when a mechanical force is applied to the medicament unit by the plunger, it does not reliably rupture at the correct place or completely, so that errors can occur during the assembly of the blister pack. Since the wrong filling of a compartment necessarily requires the sorting out of the entire blister pack, errors in the "repackaging" of the medicaments from the blister strip into the blister pack are associated with great expense and expense. Another disadvantage is that the maintenance of a medication filling station due to the clock mode leads to a standstill of the entire system.
Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Anlage zur personenindividuellen Bestückung von Befüllblistern mit Medikamenten entsprechend vorgegebenen Verschreibungsdaten vorzuschlagen, die eine verbesserte Leistungsfähigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit aufweist.It is therefore an object of the invention to propose a system for personal placement of Befüllblistern with drugs according to predetermined prescription data, which has improved performance and reliability.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch eine Anlage zur personenindividuellen Bestückung von Befüllblistern mit Medikamenten entsprechend vorgegebenen Verschreibungsdaten, wobei die Befüllblister in einer Matrixkonfiguration in Zeilen entsprechend einer Anzahl von Einnahmezeiten während eines Tages und Spalten entsprechend einer Anzahl von Tagen, beispielsweise Wochentagen, angeordnete Aufnahmefächer für jeweilige Medikamenten-Verabreichungseinheiten aufweisen, umfassend eine Vielzahl hintereinander angeordneter Medikamenten-Befüllstationen zur Bestückung der Befüllblister mit jeweils einem bestimmten Medikament, und eine Transportvorrichtung ausgebildet zum Transport der Befüllblister einzeln hintereinander in einer Bewegungsrichtung entlang der Medikamenten-Befüllstationen wobei jede Medikamenten-Befüllstation ein zwischen zwei Positionen bewegbares Vordosiermagazin mit mehreren Vordosierfächern aufweist, das dazu eingerichtet ist, in einer ersten Position das Medikament in einem oder mehreren der Vordosierfächer aufzunehmen und in einer zweiten Position das Medikament aus den Vordosierfächern in entsprechende Aufnahmefächer des Befüllblisters abzugeben.The object is achieved by a system for personal placement of Befüllblistern with drugs according to prescribed prescription data, wherein the Befüllblister in a matrix configuration in rows corresponding to a number of times during a day and columns corresponding to a number of days, such as days of the week, arranged receiving compartments for respective drugs Administering units comprising a plurality of successively arranged drug filling stations for loading the Befüllblister each with a particular drug, and a transport device configured to transport the Befüllblister individually in a row in a direction of movement along the drug filling stations each drug filling station movable between two positions Vordosiermagazin with several Vordosierfächern has, which is adapted to the drug in a first position in a or to receive more of the Vordosierfächer and deliver the drug from the Vordosierfächern in corresponding receiving compartments of the Befüllblisters in a second position.
Durch die Verwendung des zwischen einer Aufnahmeposition und einer Abgabeposition bewegbaren Vordosiermagazins zur Befüllung der Befüllblister wird der zeitkritische Vorgang der Befüllung des Befüllblisters von dem mechanisch schwierigen Vorgang des Ausstoßens der Medikamenteinheiten aus dem Streifenblister entkoppelt und somit die Leistungsfähigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit der Anlage erhöht.By using the pre-metering magazine movable between a receiving position and a dispensing position to fill the filling blisters, the time-critical process of filling the filling blister is decoupled from the mechanically difficult process of ejecting the medicament units from the blister strip, thus increasing the performance and reliability of the system.
Vorzugsweise wird in jeder Medikamenten-Befüllstation das Medikament mittels eines Streifenblisters zugeführt, wobei jede Medikamenten-Befüllstation einen oder mehrere Auswurfstößel zum Ausstoßen des Medikaments aus Blisterhöfen des Streifenblisters in die Vordosierfächer des Vordosiermagazins aufweist. Zur Erhöhung der Funktionssicherheit sind die Streifenblister vozugsweise nur in einer Richtung bewegbar.Preferably, in each drug filling station, the medicament is delivered by means of a strip blister, each medicament filling station having one or more ejector plungers for expelling the drug from blister stations of the strip blister into the pre-metering compartments of the pre-metering magazine. To increase the reliability of the strip blister vozugsweise only movable in one direction.
Zur Abgabe des Medikaments in die Aufnahmefächer des Befüllblisters weist das Vordosiermagazin vorzugsweise einen in der zweiten Position desselben in Querrichtung verschiebbaren Boden auf, der eine schnelle und sichere Medikamentenübergabe in die Aufnahmefächer des Befüllblisters gewährleistet.To deliver the drug into the receiving compartments of the Befüllblisters the pre-metering preferably has a in the second position of the same displaceable in the transverse direction bottom, which ensures a fast and safe transfer of medication into the receiving compartments of the Befüllblisters.
Die Vordosierfächer des Vordosiermagazins sind dabei vorzugsweise in einer Reihe derart ausgebildet, dass sie in der zweiten Position jeweils über den in einer Zeile entsprechend einer Anzahl (Wochen-)Tagen angeordneten Aufnahmefächern des Befüllblisters angeordnet sind. Durch die gleichzeitige Medikamentenübergabe in beispielsweise sieben Tagesfächer des Befüllblisters kann so Zeit eingespart werden.The pre-metering compartments of the pre-metering magazine are preferably designed in a row such that they are arranged in the second position in each case over the receiving compartments of the filling blister arranged in a row corresponding to a number of (week) days. By the simultaneous transfer of medication in, for example, seven day compartments of the Befüllblisters so time can be saved.
Jede Medikamenten-Befüllstation weist dabei vorzugsweise wenigstens eine Sensorvorrichtung zur Überprüfung der korrekten Aufnahme des Medikaments in die Vordosierfächer des Vordosiermagazins und/oder der korrekten Abgabe des Medikaments in die Aufnahmefächer des Befüllblisters auf.Each medication filling station preferably has at least one sensor device for checking the correct intake of the medicament into the pre-metering compartments of the pre-metering magazine and / or the correct delivery of the medicament into the receiving compartments of the filling blister.
Dabei kann das Vordosiermagazin im Bereich der Ruhelage eines Medikaments in den Vordosierfächern seitlich angeordnete Schlitze aufweisen, wobei eine erste Sensoreinrichtung ausgebildet ist, durch die Schlitze ein Medikament in den Vordosierfächern während einer Bewegung des Vordosiermagazins von der ersten in die zweite Position und umgekehrt optisch zu detektieren.In this case, the pre-metering magazine can have slots arranged laterally in the region of the rest position of a medicament in the predosing compartments, wherein a first sensor device is designed to optically detect through the slits a medicament in the predosing compartments during movement of the predosing magazine from the first to the second position and vice versa ,
Der Boden der Vordosierfächer des Vordosiermagazins kann lichtdurchlässig oder lichtreflektierend sein und eine zweite Sensorvorrichtung eine Kamera zur Erfassung von auf dem Boden der Vordosierfächer befindlichen Medikamenten umfassen.The bottom of the pre-metering compartments of the pre-metering magazine can be translucent or light-reflecting, and a second sensor device can comprise a camera for detecting medicaments located on the bottom of the predispersing compartments.
Durch die Sensorvorrichtungen können Befüllfehler sicher, zuverlässig und schnell detektiert und fehlerhaft bestückte Befüllblister dann in einem separaten Verfahrensschritt zuverlässig aussortiert werden.By means of the sensor devices, filling errors can be reliably, reliably and quickly detected, and incorrectly filled filling blisters can then be reliably sorted out in a separate method step.
Das Vordosiermagazin kann zur Reinigungszwecken eine austauschbare Innenverkleidung aus Kunststoff aufweisen.The pre-metering magazine may have a replaceable plastic inner lining for cleaning purposes.
Vorzugsweise werden die Befüllblister mittels einer Magnetbahn mit Linearmotor angetrieben, wodurch eine individuelle Ansteuerung und ein zuverlässiger Transport einer Vielzahl von Befüllblistern möglich ist. Vorzugsweise sind dabei in einer Magnetschiene geführte Werkstückträger zur Aufnahme der Befüllblister vorgesehen, welche Werkstückträger in einem geschlossenen Kreislauf gefördert werden, wobei die Befüllblister vor der Bestückung auf die Werkstückträger aufgesetzt und nach dem Bestückungsvorgang wieder entnommen werden.Preferably, the Befüllblister are driven by a magnetic path with a linear motor, whereby an individual control and reliable transport of a variety of Befüllblistern is possible. Preferably, workpiece carriers guided in a magnetic rail are provided for receiving the filling blister, which workpiece carriers are conveyed in a closed circuit, wherein the Befüllblister be placed on the workpiece carrier before assembly and removed again after the assembly process.
Die erfindungsgemäße Anlage kann ferner eine über der Transportvorrichtung angeordnete Kamera zur optischen Überprüfung der korrekten Bestückung der Befüllblister entsprechend den Verschreibungsdaten aufweisen.The system according to the invention may further comprise a camera arranged above the transport device for optically checking the correct placement of the filling blister in accordance with the prescription data.
Das Vordosiermagazin kann zur manuellen Zuführung eines Medikaments frei zugänglich ausgebildet sein. Dadurch können sehr selten benötigte Medikamente ohne Einbußen der Leistungsfähigkeit der Anlage manuell oder mit anderen Zuführtechniken zugeführt werden.The pre-metering magazine can be freely accessible for manual delivery of a drug. As a result, drugs that are rarely needed can be delivered manually or with other delivery techniques without sacrificing system performance.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren weist vorzugsweise den Verfahrensschritt des Erstellens und Anfügens eines Dokumentationsträgers an den Befüllblister umfassend personenbezogene Information und/oder Anwendungsinformation zu den im Befüllblister verpackten Medikamenten auf.The method according to the invention preferably has the method step of creating and attaching a documentation carrier to the filling blister comprising personal information and / or application information to the medicaments packed in the filling blister.
