Description

  The present invention relates to a medical label providing method and a medical label output device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a medical label providing method and a medical label output device capable of preventing medical accidents due to human error such as drug misplacement and wrong dosage.

  For example, in medical practice, drugs filled in containers such as ampoules and vials are transferred in advance to syringes without the name of the drug and administered to patients, or mixed into infusion containers for infusion. It is. In this case, it is necessary to identify the name, quantity, date and time of use of the medicine transferred to the syringe or the like.

  On the other hand, when transferring the drug to a syringe, etc., both hands of the medical staff are blocked. For example, to identify the drug transferred to the syringe, etc., after transferring the drug to the syringe, etc. Based on the memory of the medical staff, a memo in which the name of the medicine used, the date and time of use, etc. are written by hand is pasted on a syringe or the like. In addition, when there are a plurality of syringes or the like to which the medicine has been transferred in advance, there is a possibility that the wrong syringe is selected when actually administered to the patient.

  As described above, in the post-entry input method based on the memory of the medical staff, medical care based on human error such as incorrect description of the drug name due to memory difference, unreadable drug name due to messy characters, dropping of the written note paper, etc. The risk of accidents is a problem.

  In order to deal with such a problem, the present applicant has proposed a container recognition apparatus that reads predetermined information attached to a container in Patent Document 1.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when a container (not shown) with a barcode attached thereto is loaded into the container loading chute 101, the first rotating roller 102 positioned below the container loading chute 101 and the first The container is rotated and held by the second rotating roller 103. In this state, the barcode attached to the container is read by the reading unit 104, the read barcode number is collated with a database stored in a storage unit of a personal computer (not shown), and the specified drug information is stored in, for example, a personal computer. Displayed on computer monitor.

  Medical personnel can manually write the drug information displayed on the monitor on the label, and affix the written label on the injection to prevent human error due to the memory error of the medical worker's drug information. . In addition, since the medicine information is automatically input to the personal computer, the used medicine can be easily managed.

  Patent Document 2 discloses a multilayer label for drug management as shown in FIG. Specifically, two labels of an upper layer label 201 and a lower layer label 202 pre-printed with drug information are detachably bonded, and the upper layer label 201 is turned over and attached to a syringe or the like, and then transferred to a syringe or the like. The replaced drug information can be accurately identified, and the similar drug information is described in the lower layer label 202 remaining in the container, so that the used drug can be managed accurately.

JP 2014-117317 A JP 2002-132154 A

  Here, in the container recognition apparatus described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to prevent a mistake in describing medicine information due to a memory difference of medical staff, but when transferring the medicine information displayed on the display unit to a label. There are still concerns about human error due to incorrect descriptions and illegible characters.

  On the other hand, in the drug label described in Patent Document 2, it is necessary to prepare at least two labels, an upper layer label and a lower layer label, which makes the configuration complicated and increases the product cost.

  In addition, when affixing the label to the container, it is necessary to strictly inspect the printed display contents for errors, but in the pharmaceutical label described in Patent Document 2, each of the upper layer label and the lower layer label Since it is necessary to inspect, the man-hours required for the inspection also increase.

  Furthermore, since the upper layer label is attached so that it can be peeled off, the adhesive area is small and the adhesive force is weak. Therefore, after the upper layer label is peeled off and attached to the syringe, the upper layer label may peel off from the syringe.

  The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and can provide a medical label providing method capable of preventing medical accidents due to human error such as drug misplacement or dosage error, And it aims at providing the output device of a medical label.

  In addition, immediately after the transfer from the first container to the second container, the second process of reading the data carrier provided in the first container ensures that the container (first container) is not mistaken. The data carrier can be read.

In addition, the identification information of the medicine transferred to the second container corresponding to the data carrier is labeled by providing a step of printing predetermined identification information for identifying the medicine on the label based on the data carrier and outputting the label. Therefore, the medical staff does not need to describe the drug information by himself and can prevent human error caused by messy characters.
In addition, as identification information, for example, medicine classification, amount, concentration, etc. are printed on a label with characters, colors, numbers, etc., so that a medical worker can store the drug information filled in the second container. It can be easily recognized.

  In addition, in the case where there is a fourth step of putting the first container into the reading unit for reading the data carrier after the first step and before the second step, a predetermined value is placed in the first container. It is possible to reliably read the data carrier on which the information is displayed or stored.

  Further, after the second step and before the third step, when there is a fifth step of collating a plurality of predetermined medicine information stored in advance in the database with the data carrier For example, when the data carrier is a barcode, the drug information corresponding to the barcode information read in the second step is surely obtained from a database in which a plurality of pieces of drug information corresponding to the barcode are registered in advance. Can be called.

Further, based on the fifth step, when the third step is performed when the collated result matches, the drug information registered in the database corresponding to the barcode information displayed on the first container is stored. It can be printed accurately.
Further, when the collation result does not match, since printing is not performed, there is no possibility that a label with incorrect identification information is attached to the second container.
Furthermore, since printing is not performed, medicine information that is not stored in the database can be recognized, so that additional registration of the database can be easily performed.

  Moreover, when it has the 6th process of displaying the label printed at the 3rd process on the 2nd container, it corresponds to the predetermined medicine information memorized by the data carrier with which the 1st container is equipped. The label on which the identification information is printed can be reliably displayed on the second container.

  In order to achieve the above object, a medical label output apparatus according to the present invention includes a first region in which a container insertion port is formed and a predetermined data carrier provided in a container that is inserted into the container insertion port.

IDentification) is a reading device, for example, a barcode reader for reading a barcode, an RFID code reader for reading an RFID code, or the like.

  Here, the barcode and the RFID code provided in the container A are not necessarily displayed directly on the container A. For example, a label on which a barcode and an RFID code are printed may be attached to the container A, or a non-contact IC card may be attached to the container as a tag.

  In the database 31, as medicine information corresponding to the barcode displayed on the container A, the medicine name, medicine classification, standard, concentration, and information displayed on the container A, or corresponding to the label 34 output from the printing apparatus described later. A bar code and a color or pattern are stored.

  Here, it is not always necessary to have the database 31. For example, when the data carrier of the container A is an RFID code, the predetermined medicine information can be stored in the RFID.

  The printing device 32 includes a data carrier stored in the container A read by the reading unit 7, or a medicine name, a medicine classification, a standard, a concentration, a barcode displayed on the container A, or a corresponding barcode stored in the database 31, and The color or pattern is printed on the label 34 and output.

  The monitor 11 is a data carrier stored in the container A read by the reading unit 7, or a medicine name, a medicine classification, a standard, a concentration, a barcode displayed on the container A, or a corresponding barcode and color stored in the database 31. Or a pattern etc. are displayed and the medical worker can grasp | ascertain beforehand the identification information printed on the label 34 through the monitor 11. FIG.

  Here, it is not always necessary to have the monitor 11. For example, the data carrier read by the reading unit 7 or information stored in the database may be transmitted to the medical staff by voice. However, since the medical staff can visually confirm the drug information by having the monitor 11, the drug information can be grasped more accurately than the voice information.

  Next, the mechanical configuration of the medical label output device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  Here, the first rotating roller 4 and the second rotating roller are operated by operating the roller connecting pin solenoid 27 by an electric signal from a control unit (not shown) and inserting the pin 29 into the pin insertion hole. 5 is connected.

  Subsequently, the driving motor 22B is operated to rotate the conveying belt 25 from the second region toward the first region, and the first rotating roller 4 and the second rotating roller 5 are moved from the second region 16 to the first region. 1 direction 15 is moved.

  In this way, when the roller support plate portion 18 of the first rotating roller 4 contacts the forward end detection switch 31, the roller support plate portion 18 is detected and the drive motor 22B is stopped to perform the initial setting. Return to the position (see FIG. 5A).

  Next, a method for providing a medical label to which the present invention is applied will be described.

<STEP1: Step of taking out the container>
First, after confirming a medicine to be used, a medical worker holds a container A such as an ampoule, a vial, or a syringe on which bar code information related to the filled medicine is displayed with one hand.
<STEP2: Step of transferring drug>
The medicine is sucked out (transferred) from the container A held in one hand with a syringe (not shown) held in the other hand.
<STEP3: Step of loading the container into the medical label output device>
While holding the syringe in the other hand, the container A held in one hand and emptied is put into the container inlet 3 of the output device 1 for the medical label.
<Step 4: Reading barcode information>
The container A introduced into the container insertion port 3 is held by the first rotating roller 4 and the second rotating roller 5, and the barcode information displayed on the container A is read by the reading unit 7.
<STEP5: Step of collating bar code information and database contents>
The barcode information read by the reading unit is transmitted to the database 31 via the bus line 33. In the database 31, the barcode information and a plurality of pieces of drug information registered in advance in the database 31 are collated.
<STEP6: Process of Displaying Drug Information on Monitor>
As a result of the collation, when the barcode information matches one of the plurality of drug information registered in the database 31, the matched drug information is transmitted to the monitor 11 via the bus line 33.
<STEP7: Step for Instructing Printing to Printing Apparatus>
The medical worker confirms the transmitted medicine information through the monitor 11, confirms that the medicine information displayed on the monitor 11 is correct, and presses the “print” button in the monitor 11. A printing instruction is transmitted to the printing apparatus 32 via the printer.
<STEP8: Step of outputting a label>
Upon receiving the print instruction, the printing device 32 prints, for example, a medicine name, a medicine classification, a standard, a concentration, a display on the container A, or a corresponding barcode, a color or a pattern on the label 34 as predetermined medicine information. Output from the printing device 32.
<STEP9: Labeling process>
The medical worker takes out the output label 34 with one hand and attaches it to the syringe held in the other hand.

  Here, when the RFID code is used as the data carrier provided in the container, since the medicine information to be printed on the label 34 is stored in the RFID code, the step of collating with the database of <STEP5> is unnecessary. It becomes.
