Definitions

  • This invention concerns the sector of pharmacological therapy dispensing to patients, particularly in hospital and nursing home settings and the like.
  • Improvised systems are currently used to dispense treatment to patients, such as the preparation of sterile dressings containing the drugs and on which the necessary information is indicated, such as the bed occupied by the patient and the time at which the drugs should be taken.
  • This solution is generally inefficient and risks both the loss of the drugs, because the dressing cannot contain them properly, and the difficult recognition of the administration data, for example the patient's bed number or the time.
  • a limitation of these known administration systems is that there is no exact and secure arrangement of the doses prepared for the various patients, this being a particularly serious drawback in the case of patient numbers ranging from just a few to several tens, with the risk of losing the drugs (which are all placed together on the nurse's trolley) or of mixing them up between the patients. The need is therefore greatly felt for a container that allows simple and safe dispensing of individual drug treatments to patients in hospitals, nursing homes or similar structures.
  • figure 1 shows the base of a container according to the invention
  • figure 2 shows a lid which can be associated with the base shown in figure 1
  • figures 3-6 show an example of the administration indications (different administration times for several bed numbers) marked on several lids, one for each administration time, of the type show in figure 2
  • - figures 7-9 show a longitudinal side view, a view from above and a front side view, respectively, of a preferred embodiment of the container
  • figure 10 shows a view from above of a second preferred embodiment of the container
  • - figure 11 is a schematic view of the separation of the individual compartments of the container
  • figure 12 shows another preferred embodiment of the invention
  • figures 13-13a show a further preferred embodiment of the container with several rows of compartments
  • a container 1 for dispensing drugs to a plurality of patients, comprises a base 2 in which a number of compartments 3 are formed to hold drugs 4 for the same number of patients.
  • the compartments 3 are preferably arranged in one or more rows (figure 13) and are separated by cutting lines 5, which may have weakened parts or cuts 6 to favour the separation of the individual compartments .
  • the container 1 also comprises a lid 7 consisting of a series of individual covering portions 8 which correspond to the position of the individual compartments 3.
  • the portions 8 preferably present surfaces on which the therapeutic indications relative to the patients can be marked by printing or in another way.
  • the surfaces bearing the indications may, however, be positioned on different parts of the container 1 as long as they correspond to the compartments to be filled according to the indications.
  • each portion 8 may indicate the bed number of a certain patient and the time at which the drugs 4 are to be taken (for example in figures 3-6, the portions 8 show the various times for administration of the drugs to the patients occupying beds 1 to 10, although these indications may have different quantities and combinations) .
  • the base 2 can be equipped with one or more tabs 9 which allow the precise insertion of the lid 7 in order to cover the compartments 3.
  • one or more supports 11 designed to hold spare lids 7 for insertion on the compartments may also be provided.
  • the support may be single (figures 14-17) or multiple (figure 12) .
  • an additional support 13 is described, which is designed to hold the container 1 and which may be an integral part or not of the support 11 for the lids 7.
  • a lid 7 is inserted in the support 11 of the container, with the indications relative, for example, to the patient's bed and to the administration time of the drugs 4 (figure 14) .
  • the drugs 4 can therefore be inserted in the relative compartments 3 (figure 15) as shown in the patient medicine register, according to the bed number.
  • the lid is inserted to close the compartments and (figure 17) the container can be removed from the support 13.
  • the individual compartments 3, showing the exact indication of the patient who must be given the drugs and the time of administration, can then be separated.
  • a row/column indication of the administration data is defined, thanks to which it is possible to separate strips 13 containing several compartments 3 , each of which can contain the drugs for a certain patient (the same bed number of each strip 13) at the various administration times.
  • Figure 18 shows a preferred embodiment in which the lid 7 is an integral part of and folds open from the base 2, to which it can be firmly fixed by means of fixing elements, for example the press-fixing type, and in which the portions 8 of the lid 7 can already be partially separated from each other to facilitate the individual administration of the drugs and the cutting of the individual compartments.
  • the container 1 is made from transparent plastic in order to better identify the drugs placed in the compartments, but it is understood that the invention can be adapted and modified in several ways without departing from the scope of the inventive concept. Moreover, all the details of the invention can be substituted by technically equivalent elements.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient permettant de distribuer des médicaments à plusieurs patients. Ledit récipient comprend une base composée d'une pluralité de compartiments individuels et un couvercle composé d'une pluralité de parties destinées à recouvrir lesdits compartiments individuels. Le couvercle est associé de manière amovible à la base, ce qui permet de séparer du récipient au moins un compartiment individuel et la partie de recouvrement correspondante.
