Description

468 540 2 The llppfilm filmgen is described in more detail below, partly in connection with a 1 of Lzppfilmingen shown in the accompanying drawings, where a sectional view along the line BB in Figure 3 - Figure 6 shows a block diagram of a control circuit.

Figure 1 shows a part of a device according to the lip film design. Arlordrlirngen imæfattarettantaliodlförsigkämaivarar fl rastaplingsbaramggarl.

In a stack of nozzles, a space is formed between each of the two panels, the top of which is located in the same space as shown in Figure 1. In these panels, medicine is intended to be provided.

The mugs 1 can be of any linkable type known. Conveniently, the mold arm is made of plastic, so that it can be carried out together with the mold.

Furthermore, there is a casing 4 of a linkable type, which is arranged to enclose a stack 2 of implants in which there is a total layer of medicine.

The casing is primarily intended as packaging for the nuggets, after the medicine has been placed in the nuggets and these have been stacked, until the nulgcganla is to be used for The casing can be obtained in various ways. According to one embodiment, the casing is tubular with a lid 5 in one or both of them. The casing can also be a casing of lory plastic, which is applied when medicine has been inserted into the grooves and these have been stacked.

In addition, the device comprises a mold guru 6, which is shown in Figures 2-6, which is arranged to dispense one mug at a time.

The nugguüxxa shown in Figures 3-5 is of a known type, for which purpose only bsszcrivss are summarized below.

The cup holder means comprises a housing 10, a cup holder 11, a "" in the form of a fork 12 and a drive device 13 for driving 12. The drive device includes an electric motor 14 and an exoenter 15. When the motor 14 is driven, the fork 12 performs by means of the exoenter. A stack comprising of a stack of cups is to be opened in the device, the lower cup being placed in the part of the device designated by the numeral 17. It is preferred that the door be locked so as not to be shown the patient cannot know the medicine.

When a stack of mugs is inserted, the lower mug rests on the fork 12, as illustrated in Figure 1. When the motor 14 obtains an arrow to dispense a chunk, the fork is retracted in its own plane, i.e. to the right in Figure 3, the lower mug falling down a bit to a pick-up position.

The fork then returns to its French-sliding position, where it abuts against the nugugg located above the latter nugugg in the stack of mugs.

Thus, in accordance with the present method, medication is added to a patient's medication intake at certain respective times in the stackable nugs.

This is conveniently done at a pharmacy, or by hospital staff or staff.

After the nedicin has been placed in the nugggs and these have been stacked, the nugs are brought to be connected by the housing 4. At a later stage, the housing is intended to be removed and the mugs in the nuggxrtnvah ah ngsanorüaingen.

Patients who normally manage the day's chores without help, take a mug themselves at the specific times that apply, for example morning, noon and evening.

However, the patient does not have to think about the dosage of different medicines at different times, as each mug contains the medicine in question at the time in question. In such a case, the drive device does not need a driven device, but a machine with a much simpler design can. However, according to a preferred embodiment, a control circuit comprising a clock comprises a control circuit which is arranged to control the device device to dispense at certain times. This design is primarily intended for patients with impaired self-sufficiency.

Figure 6 shows an example of such a control circuit. In a preferred embodiment, there is a processor 20 which is conventionally programmed to perform the functions set forth below. The processor is programmed to detect real time. A motor 21 is connected to the processor, by means of 468 540 4 which the processor control motor at night carries out a sequence in which it is necessary for the fork to make a return movement. The processor also includes a PKIå memory 22 and a RAM 23 connected, where the PRCM memory contains software and where the ECM memory is used to store temporary information.

To detect that the patient has taken a discharged mug within a certain predetermined time, there is a sensor in the form of one or a photoelectric 24,25 placed in the space 26 where a discharged nugget is in its retrieval position.

According to a preferred embodiment, said cover 4 is provided with a machine-readable code, a bar code 7, containing information on at what times the patient should take the medication.

In this case, it is preferred that the miggutzna control circuit is arranged to be programmed with a readable code and readable by means of an external optical reader, preferably a so-called reading pen 8. The information thus read and stored in the RAM memory is used by the processor to control the motor control 21 at the correct times.

When the processor is controlled by a toxin, the processor is arranged to provide an acoustic and / or light signal via a means 27 of a linkable type known to the patient, in order to invoke the patient's alert mark that a medicine bite has been dispensed. Furthermore, the processor is arranged that from the end of the nugget count until the sensor 25,26 indicates that the patient has removed the nugget. In the event that the nugget has not been removed before a certain predetermined time, for example five minutes, the processor is arranged to emit an alarm signal.

In this latter embodiment, the idea is for a nurse or the like to read the modulated reading pen and then remove the stack of flies from the housing and the stack in the device. In this case, the door 16 must be locked. As the stirecld code is read, the processor starts its functions listed above and below.

According to a preferred embodiment, there is a telephone mode 28 with associated transmitter, which processor is arranged to be equipped with a different signal. avdentypsom 1 ,. 468 540 5 is used for burglar alarm installations. Please call an alarm center. This can be located either within the building in which the device is located, or elsewhere. In, for example, the service house, the employee can be dispensed with, as leaders can instead be drawn to an expedition for staff in the service house.

According to one embodiment, a smoke alarm 29 and / or a milorophone 30 can also be connected to the device. These devices emit a signal to the processor, which is then arranged to equip one. The microphone is intended to repel sounds, such as screams or sounds from a whistle, which come from a patient in By this addition to the actual device described above, a combination of a device for: nedicination with a It is obvious that the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and offers a safe and simple procedure as well as a simple Llpp-built device.

It is further apparent that the present invention may be modified. Thus, the mugguatriiligsanordniiagen can be designed in another way, as well as the mugs and the housing, which modifications are within the normal competence of the specialist arm.

The present Lippfirmirag shall thus not be considered limited to the above-specified embodiments, but may be varied within the framework specified by the appended claims.
