Definitions

  • the invention relates to a medicine collection system and a method for collecting medicines with such a medicine collection system.
  • Such medicine collection systems may comprise canisters, the canisters comprising a reservoir of solid medicines, and an opening into the drawer. These drawers are arranged in a frame. These medicine collection systems have a number of disadvantages.
  • Pills released from the canisters are released into the drawer and then collected at a central location. Because of such a construction, many pills may be transferred in the medicine collection system along the same path. This may increase the chance of damage to the medicines and clogging of the medicine collection system. In order to resolve the clogging of the system, the system has to be shut down temporarily, and may have to be dismantled which is burdensome and inefficient.
  • the medicine collection system comprises at least one dispensing unit with a reservoir from which solid medicines are dispensed into a dispensing opening by the dosing means.
  • the dispensing opening opens out to a collection area, in which at least one collection column is movable along the wall, such that a receiving opening of the collection column may be placed adjacent to the dispensing opening of the dispensing unit.
  • the dosing means may for instance comprise a plate covering the dispensing opening in a closed position, but may also or alternatively have an appearance such as for instance disclosed in one of the preferred embodiments below.
  • the data processing unit is used to allocate at least one collection column to one order for one patient, and accordingly to synchronize the movement of a collection column along the wall with the movement of the dosing means such that a receiving opening of the allocated collection column is adjacent to the dispensing opening when dispensing the medicine in the order for the patient.
  • the medicine collection system may have only one collection column, the efficiency of the system is further improved if more than one collection column is provided, because it allows simultaneous processing of multiple orders. It may also allow faster processing of one order, since the collection time of one order is decreased.
  • this also provides the advantage that individual collection columns may be temporarily removed from the system for cleaning without requiring temporary shutdown of the complete system.
  • the collection columns Preferably, in such a case, the collection columns have different colors in order to ease scheduling alternating maintenance to the collection columns.
  • the medicine collection system comprises more than one dispensing unit which may be stacked on top of each other.
  • the height of dispensing units stacked on top of each other is preferably no larger than the height of an average person, such that an operator may be able to maintain all dispensing units without requiring additional tools such as ladders, thereby increasing the speed of maintenance.
  • the increase of the number of dispensing units will also in general, provide a possibility to provide backup units of a dispensing unit in the medicine collection system with a type of pill to use when the main dispensing unit with the same type of pill is empty, although the system may also give timely warnings to an operator to maintain the dispensing unit when the amount of pills in a dispensing unit is low.
  • the medicine collection system according to the invention is most preferably connected to one or more other medicine collection systems, which may be a medicine collection system according to the invention.
  • the data processing units of the individual systems may be connected to each other in order to allow for coordination in the processing of an order.
  • the medicine collection system or the set of medicine collection systems is connected to a medicine packaging system, such as for instance the medicine packaging system disclosed in the application filed by the applicant on the same date as the current application. It has been shown that connection of at least one medicine collection system(s) according to the invention to such a medicine packaging system may allow for packaging rates down to 0.5 seconds per package.
  • the arrangement of the medicine collection systems is such that an operator may easily walk around all parts of the arrangement for increasing the ease of maintenance.
  • the reservoir comprises a reservoir opening connected to a first end of the dosing means, wherein the dispensing opening is connected to the other end of the dosing means, and wherein the dosing means comprises a rotor with at least one cavity for a medicine, wherein the rotor is at least rotatable between a position with the cavity aligned with the reservoir opening and a position with the cavity aligned with the dispensing opening.
  • the dosing means comprising a rotor
  • the rotor may be controlled by the data processing unit of the medicine collection system such to ensure that a pill of an order is in the cavity aligned with the dispensing opening when the receiving opening of the collection column allocated to the order is adjacent to the dispensing opening.
  • the dimensions of the cavity are suitable for transferring the medicine in the reservoir to the dispensing opening into the collection column.
  • the rotor is provided more than one cavity rotatable between a position with the cavity aligned with the reservoir opening and a position with the cavity aligned with the dispensing opening.
  • An increased amount of such cavities increases the speed of release, since the rotor may not require a full rotation for a pill to be dispensed into the collection column.
  • the cavity may comprise a channel which is aligned with the reservoir opening at all positions of the rotor, but which is only aligned with the dispensing opening in a reduced number of positions of the rotor.
  • the dispensing units are arranged next to each other along the circumference of the collection area.
  • the at least partial arrangement of the dispensing units next to each other increases the amount of dispensing units arranged in the medicine collection system and therefore increases the types of pills distributed from the system.
  • the collection area is cylindrical and wherein the at least one collection column is arranged to a rotating axis axially arranged in the cylindrical collection area.
  • the arrangement of the wall of dispensing units around a cylindrical collection area with the at least one collection column travelling along the circumference of the cylindrical collection are along the wall of dispensing units, the at least one collection column arranged to a rotating axis axially arranged in the collection area allows for easy movement of the collection columns in the collection process, since the movement takes place by simply rotating the rotating axis. As a consequence, chains or rails along the circumference of the collection area are therefore only optional.
  • the use of a rotating axis to drive the collection columns may also reduce the amount of maintenance required to the medicine collection system and may also reduce power consumption.
  • the collection column comprises closing means arranged on the bottom of the collection column.
  • the medicine distribution system is able to at least temporarily hold the medicines collected in a closed state.
  • the closing means are moved to an open state.
  • the closing means is a diaphragm shutter.
  • a diaphragm shutter is a closing means which comprises a number of blades connected to each other, closing an opening in the bottom of the collection column in its closed state, and which may be set into its open state by rotation of the individual blades along individual blade axes, which blade axes are preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the collection column.
  • Such a closing means may be easily and reliably switched between the closed and the open state and therefore prevents misalignments of the collecting column and the secondary system.
  • the closing means are controlled by the data processing unit.
  • the data processing unit preferably synchronizes the movement of the secondary system and the collection column allocated to one order.
  • the control of the closing means of the collection column by the data processing unit allows the allocated collection column and the allocated location in a secondary system in such a process to approach each other in a closed position of the collection column, and quick release of the contents of the collection column into the secondary system when the allocated position of the secondary system is adjacent to the bottom of the collection column. This reduces the chance of an erroneous dosage, such as dosage in a wrong position on the secondary system.
  • the dispensing units are removably attached to the wall.
  • Removable attachment of the dispensing units to the wall allows for more thorough maintenance of the dispensing units and the system and also increases the ease of refilling of the dispensing units when they are empty.
  • the dispensing units comprises a tag, and a sensor for reading the tag of the dispensing unit is arranged to the wall, the sensor being connected to the data processing unit.
  • Tags on a dispensing units may be provided with information on the type and number of pills in the dispensing units. Such information may be read by a sensor in the medicine collection system and allows the data processing unit to determine the type and number of pills available at each position in the wall of dispensing units and therefore allows for easy processing of an order to the system. It also allows the data processing unit to issue a warning to an operator when a dispensing unit is almost or completely empty.
  • the tag may be overwritten by the operator with the type and number of pills in the reservoir of the dispensing unit, or the number of pills added during refilling.
  • the number of pills may also be calculated with a reasonable safety margin and the tag may be automatically reset to the number calculated upon removal from the wall.
  • the medicine collection system further comprises a transporting means with at least one receptacle, moveable by the transporting means, wherein the top of the receptacle is adjacent to the bottom of the collection column in at least one position of the collection column and at least one position of the receptacle in the transporting means.
  • the secondary system preferably comprises a transporting means with at least one receptacle, wherein the at least one receptacle is alignable with the bottom of the collection column.
  • the object of the invention is further achieved with a method for collecting medicines, comprising the steps of:
  • Movement of the at least one collection column of the medicine distribution system allows medicines in the wall to be collected in a central location before further processing, such as in a secondary system.
  • the medicines are released from the dispensing unit when the dispensing opening of the dispensing unit is aligned to the receiving opening of the collecting column.
  • the method comprises the steps of:
  • the data processing unit may for instance determine the shortest route along the dispensing units, based on the contents of the order, and may accordingly synchronize the process of collection with the secondary system, and may accordingly release the collected medicines when appropriate.
  • the medicine collection system 1 has a cylindrical wall 2, in which a carousel 3 rotates.
  • a transport system 4 is provided to transport medicines, collected by the collection system 1 to for example a packaging station 5, in which the medicines are packaged in plastic bags and labeled.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross sectional view of a detail of the embodiment 1 of figure 1 .
  • a number of dispensing units 6 are arranged underneath each other.
  • Each dispensing unit has a drive mechanism 7 on which a canister or reservoir 8 is arranged.
  • the drive mechanism 7 is coupled to the canister 8.
  • By driving the canister 8, one item of the medicine is dispensed via a dispensing opening 9, which debouches through the wall 2.
  • a carousel 3 On the inside of the wall 2 a carousel 3 is arranged with a central axis 10 and a number of arms 11 on which outer end collection columns 12 are arranged. Preferably the collection columns 12 are arranged side by side along the full periphery of the carousel 3.
  • Each collection column 12 has a number of receiving openings or funnels 13 corresponding to the dispensing openings 9 of a column of dispensing units 6.
  • a closure 14 is provided, via which collected medicines can be discharged into a receptacle, which is then transported via transport system 4.
  • Figure 3 shows a further detail in cross sectional view of figure 2 .
  • the dispensing unit 6 has a reservoir 8 with a sloping bottom wall 15.
  • a dosing rotor 16 is provided, which is driven by a motor 17 of the drive mechanism. By rotating the dosing rotor 16, pills 18 are separated and can be fed to the dispensing opening 9 one by one.
  • a counter can be provided to count the number of pills dispensed via the dispensing opening 9, to make sure, that the correct number of pills is dispensed.
  • a dispensed pill 18 will fall via the dispensing opening, through the wall 2, the funnel 13 into the collection column 12.
  • the carousel 3 will rotate at a constant speed and a controller will control the dispensing units 6 such that the correct medicines for a batch are dispensed in the correct collection column. This ensures that after a full revolution of a collection column in the carousel all required medicines for a specific order are collected in the collection column and the collected medicines can be discharged via the closure 14 into a receptacle in the transport system 4.
  • FIG 4 shows a perspective view of the closure 14.
  • the closure 14 is a diaphragm shutter with a number of blades 19, which can be rotated radially out by operating a cam 20 of a shutter mechanism, such that an opening is created in the center. This has the advantage, that the collected medicines fall straight down and are not damaged by the closure 14.
