Description

Device for packaging medication portions

The present invention relates to a device for packaging medicament portions.

One type of device for packaging

Medication portions are the so-called blister machines. For example, WO 2013/034504 AI describes such a blister machine. The device according to the aforementioned

Reference is used in pharmacies and hospitals or, with appropriate dimensioning, also in blister centers and automatically compiles drug compilations of several portions of medication patient-specific according to the medically prescribed intake times together. The

Device packs order data accordingly

Drug compilations in one

Packaging material web shaped bags, so-called

Blister bag, which leave these bags as a strand of Blisterbeuteln (also called "blister"), the device for further use. A blister bag regularly corresponds to a time of taking a patient, d. H. Contains all portions of medication that a patient must take at a given time of day. The order data itself may be, for example, data derived from recipes or the like.

The described in the aforementioned document

Device is due to their special design suitable to produce a plurality (several hundred) of blister packs per hour and is therefore used in particular where appropriate for a variety of patients blister packs are to create. Is the request to the

Production speed of the blister bag is not so high, other blister machines are used, since the aforementioned device to achieve the high

Blinding speed is constructed relatively expensive. In the simpler blister machines is a variety of Storage and dispensing stations arranged in a matrix on or on a holding device. From the storage and

Dispensing stations, the drug portions are fed via a central guide device of a packaging device, which blisters the provided portions of medication. Alternatively, the provided

Medication portions can also be packed in a different way.

The storage and dispensing stations are "externally" attached to the holding device, and those of the memory and

Dispensing stations dispensed drug portions reach via drug chutes to the central guide device.

Due to the variety of different drugs that may be stored in the storage and dispensing stations, the guide device is contaminated with a variety of different drug fragments. The drug fragments can be blistered or packaged with the medication portions and can cause unwanted side effects or allergic reactions when the patient is receiving the medication

Drug compilation.

It is therefore also in the packaging devices whose

Packaging speed is not as high as that of the above device, quite essential that the parts of the

Device that come in contact with various portions of medication, cleaned regularly. In the known devices, this cleaning process is very time consuming, since the devices must first be partially disassembled to u.a. to carefully clean the central guide device by hand.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for packaging medicament portions, wherein cleaning-related downtime is reduced.

The object is achieved by a

Apparatus for packaging medicament portions according to

The device according to the invention comprises a frame structure to which at least one guide device is attached, wherein the guide device has a plurality of receiving openings and at least one discharge opening. at the device according to the invention, the guide device is an independent component that can participate in the formation or support of a basic structure of the device, but is not necessary for the basic structure as such.

The apparatus further comprises a plurality of storage and dispensing stations for dispensing individual portions of medicaments, said storage and dispensing stations having a medicament supply reservoir and a dispensing station having a dispensing station

Drug delivery channel for dispensing individual

Have medication portions. The individual storage and dispensing stations are connected to a control device, and on the basis of a control command of this control device, individual medication portions can be dispensed from each storage and dispensing station.

The device further comprises a holding device for the storage and dispensing stations, wherein the holding device has a plurality of holders, in each case a drug slide with a receiving opening and a

Dispensing opening and a storage and dispensing station are arranged, in such a way that the receiving openings of the

Medication slips the drug delivery channels of the

Dispensing stations and the discharge openings of the drug chutes are associated with the receiving openings of the at least one guide device. In other words, the medication chutes form the link between the drug delivery channel of a storage and dispensing station and the guide means, i. isolated portions of medication reach over one

Medication slide in the guide device.

For receiving medication portions of the at least one guide device and forwarding to a

Packaging station, which provided the

Packed drug portions, includes the device

finally a collection device. The way of

Execution of the collection device is for the present

Invention not relevant. For example, it may be a band or a funnel arranged below the at least one guide device, which or which may be the one or more dispensed delivered drug portions to the packaging device.

Due to the variety of different

Portions of medication dispensed from the storage and dispensing stations into the at least one guide means are rapidly contaminated with drug fragments. The higher the degree of contamination with drug fractions, the greater the risk that drug fragments will interfere with the drug

packed portions of medication. Regular cleaning of the guide device is therefore

necessary. In order to simplify such a cleaning and thus to reduce the downtime of the device, it is provided that the guide device is detachably arranged or attached to the frame structure. Furthermore, the invention provides that the at least one holding device and the

Frame structure are mounted on or in the device such that the holding device and the frame structure are movable relative to each other such that in an access position from outside the device to the at least one

Management device can be accessed.

Due to the detachable arrangement of at least one

Guide means on the frame structure may be

Guide device can be removed and it can then be an already cleaned guide device in or on the

Frame structure can be arranged. The inventive

Combination of the aforementioned features allows the cleaning of the device can be performed much faster. By a single movement quickly all located on the holding device memory and

Departing from the at least one guide device moves, these removed and by a clean

Leadership replaced. A tedious cleaning of a

fixed guide device, as in the state of

Technology is necessary, not applicable.

Depending on the expected type of

Drug compilations and the number of too

can be used at the Device according to the invention a guide device or a plurality of guide devices are used. Is for

For example, to expect that only a relatively small number of sets of medicaments are to be packaged, only one guide means with only one inner one can be used

Guide channel can be used, with drug portions pass through the receiving openings in the guide channel and exit through the discharge opening again.

Alternatively, a guide device may be used with a plurality of guide channels, in which case each

Guide channel a plurality of receiving openings and a

Dispensing opening is assigned. It is also conceivable to have a plurality of guide devices with one or more

To use guide channels.

The holding device for the storage and dispensing stations is preferably pivotable on, for example, the

Frame structure attached. In such a case, the

complete holding device together with attached to this

Storage and dispensing stations of the

Guide devices are pivoted away, so that a direct access to the guide device (s) is possible. A corresponding embodiment of the device is structurally simple and inexpensive to implement.

Alternatively to the pivoting of the at least one

Holding means on, for example, the frame structure, it is possible, the at least one holding device and the

Guide device (s) to move parallel to each other, i. the frame structure relative to a stationary holding device or a holding device relative to a stationary

Frame structure. For this purpose, a sliding mechanism which is well known to a person skilled in the art is to be installed in the device.

As already indicated, this is or are the

Guiding device (s) detachably arranged or fixed to the frame structure. To solve the problem as quickly as possible

To enable frame structure, it is provided in a preferred embodiment that the at least one

Guide device is designed such that a positive releasable connection between the

Guidance device and the frame structure is made. This also has the advantage that no special tool is necessary for releasing the guide device from the frame structure.

According to the invention, the guide device, or a composite of several guide devices, for example, be mounted on a special support of the frame structure. A further fixation of the guide device is not absolutely necessary, since this is fixed by the holding device or the holding devices themselves when "closing" the device.

In addition to the or the management facilities are the

Medication slides components, which strongly with

Medicament fragments are contaminated, so that a frequent cleaning of the drug slides is necessary, especially when a drug ^slide a storage ^¬ and dispensing station with a drug that differs from the previously stored there drug is used. In the prior art, the drug slides are common

integral part of the holding device, the storage and dispensing stations or the guide device. This leads to the fact that the aforementioned components have a complicated and therefore expensive to clean construction. According to the invention it is provided that the drug slides are releasably secured to the brackets of the at least one holding device, so that they are easily removed for cleaning and through

cleaned drug slides can be replaced. For reasons already mentioned above, it is particularly preferred that the drug slides are formed such that a positive releasable connection between the

Medication slides and a holding device consists.

The collection device can be designed, for example, as a conveyor belt, which transports delivered medication portions to the packaging device. With appropriate training of the conveyor belt, for example, on the

Conveyor belt arranged release agents, can also several

Drug assemblies are transported simultaneously with the conveyor belt. However, it is impractical and with regard to on the reliability of the separation of individual drug compilations difficult, the

To provide conveyor belt with a variety of release agents.

In a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, it is therefore provided that the collecting device comprises a plurality of collecting devices which serve as temporary medicament stores. Regularly there is one

Assigned collecting device a guide device, so that a plurality of drug compilations can be created in parallel, which can then be handed over after completion, for example by opening a flap of a collector, a funnel or the like, from where they reach the packaging device.

Alternatively, the collecting means may also be attached to a circulating conveyor belt and passed under the guide means, so that each

Collecting device at each guide device (and thus at each storage and dispensing station) can be passed, which significantly increases the number of different portions of medication that can be used for a drug compilation. As soon as a collecting device is guided past the packaging device by means of the conveyor belt, it is conveyed to the collecting device

Intermediate portions of medication to the

Packing device handed over.

To avoid that drug fragments to the

Medication chutes or the guide or the facilities to hang and be absorbed or entrained by subsequent drug portions, it is at a

preferred embodiment provided that the

Medication slides and / or the guide device inside have a non-stick coating. An adhesion of drug fragments forming during operation is reduced, these traps are directed downward through the device and may be removed in dedicated areas.

When cleaning the device will be regular

taken all drug slides and purified by Replaced drug slides. The number of these

Medication chutes are significant, so when replacing contaminated drug chutes, one or more mounts may not come with a cleaned one

Medication slide be provided. This has the consequence that the portions of medication at these sites after delivery by the delivery station not as desired in the associated

Guide device arrive, which in turn has the consequence that the medication portion not as intended to the

Drug composition arrives so that it is faulty. In order to avoid that in the cleaning of the device re-insertion of a drug slide is overlooked, it is provided in a preferred embodiment that the

Device has a plurality of sensor devices that detect the presence of all drug slides. If it is determined that one or more drug chutes are missing after closing the device, a beep or other indication, for example a message on a display device, may be issued, the one to the

Insertion of missing medication slides prompts.
