Die Lagerung der (teil-) gefüllten Originalblister erfolgt mit Hilfe von zugeordneten Blisterträgern mit standardisierten Außenabmessungen, die eine effiziente Lagerung, Handhabung und Entblisterung der Originalblister ermöglichen.The invention thus makes it possible, at a single medication filling station, to fill inflation blisters in a patient-controlled manner with a plurality of different medicaments. The storage of the medication in the intermediate storage in the original blisters allows a maximum storage time. The storage of the (partially) filled original blisters takes place with the help of assigned blister carriers with standardized outer dimensions, which allow an efficient storage, handling and blistering of the original blisters.
Die optionale Verwendung des Vordosiermagazins 70 bei der erfindungsgemäßen Bestückungsanlage sorgt dafür, dass der Ausstoßvorgang aus dem Originalblister 10 und der Bestückungsvorgang des Befüllblisters 40 voneinander entkoppelt werden. Dadurch kann der für die Leistungsfähigkeit der Gesamtanlage zeitkritische Befüllvorgang des Befüllblisters 40 in Bezug auf Schnelligkeit optimiert werden, während für den mechanisch schwierig auszuführenden Ausstoßvorgang aus dem Originalblister 10 mehr Zeit zur Verfügung steht, ohne die Leistungsfähigkeit der Gesamtanlage zu beeinträchtigen.The optional use of the
