本発明は、服用者が飲み間違いをしない様に薬剤を仕分ける薬剤仕分け装置に関するものである。また本発明は、薬剤を一服用分ずつ包装し、それを仕分ける薬剤仕分けシステムに関するものである。また本発明は、薬剤仕分け装置の使用方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a drug sorting device that sorts drugs so that the user does not make a mistake in taking the drug. The present invention also relates to a drug sorting system that packages drugs for each dose and sorts them. The present invention also relates to a method of using a drug sorting device.

高齢の患者（服用者）や、症状が急性期を脱した患者は、在宅で療養する場合が多い。また高血圧症や高脂血圧の様な緊急性を要しない患者についても、在宅で療養する場合が多い。在宅で療養する患者は、自己管理に基づいて服薬を行う必要がある。
例えば医師の処方の内、その用法が、朝にＡ薬とＢ薬を服用し、昼にＢ薬を服用し、夕食後に朝の倍量のＡ薬とＣ薬を服用するものであるならば、患者自らが決められた時間に決められた種類の薬剤を決められた量だけ薬箱等から取り出し、服用する必要がある。
しかしながら、現実問題として、飲むべき薬の種類や量を間違ったり、飲み忘れることがある。また逆に重複して服用してしまうこともある。
特に、高齢者や気力が低下した患者にとっては、決められた種類の薬剤を決められた量だけ薬箱等から取り出すことが困難であり、正確に薬剤を服用できていない場合もある。 Elderly patients (users) and patients whose symptoms have passed the acute phase are often treated at home. In addition, patients who do not need urgency such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia are often treated at home. Patients who are treated at home need to take medication based on self-management.
For example, if the doctor's prescription is to take medicines A and B in the morning, medicine B in the afternoon, and double the doses of medicines A and C in the morning after dinner. , It is necessary for the patient to take out a predetermined amount of a predetermined amount of a drug from a medicine box or the like at a predetermined time and take it.
However, as a practical matter, the type and amount of medicine to be taken may be wrong or may be forgotten. On the contrary, it may be taken in duplicate.
In particular, for elderly people and patients with weakened energy, it is difficult to take out a predetermined amount of a predetermined amount of a drug from a medicine box or the like, and it may not be possible to take the drug accurately.

この問題を解決する手段として、投薬カレンダー又はお薬カレンダーと称される器具が特許文献１，２に提案されている。
特許文献１に開示された発明は、カレンダーに薬剤を収容する薬剤収容部を設けたものである。
特許文献１に開示された発明では、日付けの下方に、それぞれ４個の薬剤収容部が並べられている。４個の薬剤収容部は、それぞれ服用のタイミング（用法）に対応するものであり、特許文献１の記載に基づけば、「朝」「昼」「夜」「ネル前」と表示されている。
そして投薬カレンダー（お薬カレンダー）の薬剤収容部に、服用のタイミングに対応した薬剤を収容しておく。服用のタイミングが到来すると、該当する薬剤収容部から薬剤を取り出して服用する。 As a means for solving this problem, an instrument called a medication calendar or a medication calendar has been proposed in Patent Documents 1 and 2.
The invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a calendar provided with a drug accommodating portion for accommodating a drug.
In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1, four drug accommodating portions are arranged below the date. Each of the four drug storage units corresponds to the timing (usage) of administration, and is indicated as "morning", "daytime", "night", and "in front of flannel" based on the description of Patent Document 1.
Then, the drug corresponding to the timing of administration is stored in the drug storage section of the medication calendar (medicine calendar). When the timing of taking the drug arrives, the drug is taken out from the corresponding drug storage and taken.

前記した投薬カレンダーは、個人宅のみならず、高齢者の介護施設等や、入院施設を有する病院でも採用される傾向にある。 The above-mentioned medication calendar tends to be adopted not only in private homes but also in nursing care facilities for the elderly and hospitals having hospitalization facilities.

特開２００１−２５８９９９号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-258999 特開２０１３−２４８８７３号公報JP 2013-248873

特許文献１に開示された投薬カレンダーは、薬剤をセットする薬剤セット具であり、患者の自宅や介護施設等に設置される。
そして訪問薬局の薬剤師が、患者の自宅や介護施設を巡回訪問して投薬カレンダーの薬剤収容部に薬剤を補充する場合がある。
また薬剤師が自己の薬局（調剤室）で投薬カレンダーの薬剤配置部に薬剤を収容し、薬剤が収容された状態の投薬カレンダーを患者の自宅や介護施設に持ち込む場合もある。
ここで投薬カレンダーの形式であるが、特に法律の定めはなく、各施設によって各種のものが使用されている。
代表的な投薬カレンダーの形式は、図１１，１２，１３に記載の３種類である。 The medication calendar disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a drug setting tool for setting a drug, and is installed at a patient's home, a nursing care facility, or the like.
Then, a pharmacist at a visiting pharmacy may visit the patient's home or a long-term care facility to replenish the drug storage section of the medication calendar.
In some cases, a pharmacist stores a drug in the drug placement section of the medication calendar at his / her own pharmacy (dispensing room) and brings the drug calendar in the state of the drug to the patient's home or nursing care facility.
Here, the format of the medication calendar is not specified by law, and various types are used by each facility.
Typical dosing calendar formats are the three types shown in FIGS. 11, 12, and 13.

第一の形式は、図１１の様な個人用投薬カレンダ−１００であり、曜日軸と、服用のタイミング軸によって構成されるマトリックス形状である。
具体的には、月、火、水、木、金、土、日の７曜を縦軸とし、「朝用」「昼用」「夜用」「寝る前」を横軸とするマトリックス形状である。
個人用投薬カレンダ−１００は、一人の服用者が専用に使用するものであり、例えば服用者の村松が一週間に服用する薬剤が、曜日と服用のタイミングごとに収容される。
例えば、水曜日の昼食後には、水曜列の昼用の位置に収容された薬剤を服用者たる村松が服用する。
個人用投薬カレンダ−１００は、一週間を一つの単位とするものが多いが、何日を一単位とするのかは任意であり、１０日単位や、二週間単位、２８日単位等であってもよい。 The first form is a personal dosing calendar -100 as shown in FIG. 11, which is a matrix shape composed of a day of the week axis and a dosing timing axis.
Specifically, the matrix shape has 7 days of the week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday as the vertical axis, and "morning", "daytime", "night", and "before going to bed" as the horizontal axis. be.
The personal dosing calendar -100 is used exclusively by one user. For example, the drug taken by the user Muramatsu in a week is contained in each day of the week and the timing of administration.
For example, after lunch on Wednesday, Muramatsu, the user, takes the drug contained in the lunch position on the Wednesday line.
Most personal medication calendars have one unit per week, but the number of days per unit is arbitrary, such as 10-day units, 2-week units, 28-day units, etc. May be good.

第二の形式は、図１２の様な複数の服用者を対象とする一日用投薬カレンダ−１０１である。一日用投薬カレンダ−１０１は、日めくりカレンダーのごとく、服用すべき曜日が大きく記載されている。また 一日用投薬カレンダ−１０１は、服用者名と服用のタイミング軸によって構成されるマトリックス状に薬剤収容部が配置されている。
具体的には、村松、早田、嵐、富士、井手、霧島、諸星の七名の名前を縦軸とし、「朝用」「昼用」「夜用」「寝る前」を横軸とするマトリックス形状である。
一日用投薬カレンダ−１０１は、複数の服用者が共同で使用するものであり、例えば７人の服用者が一日に服用する薬剤が、服用者名と服用のタイミングごとに収容される。
例えば、当日の朝には、村松、早田、嵐、富士、井手、霧島、諸星の七名が、それぞれの「朝用」の薬剤収容部に収容された薬剤を服用する。昼食を終えれば前記した七名が、それぞれの「昼用」の薬剤収容部に収容された薬剤を服用する。
複数の服用者を対象とする一日用投薬カレンダ−１０１は、介護施設や病院で使用される。一日用投薬カレンダ−１０１において、何名の服用者を一単位とするかは任意であり、５名であっても１０名であってもよい。 The second form is a daily dosing calendar-101 for multiple users, as shown in FIG. The daily dosing calendar-101 has a large number of days of the week to be taken, like a daily calendar. Further, in the daily medication calendar-101, the drug accommodating portions are arranged in a matrix formed by the name of the user and the timing axis of administration.
Specifically, a matrix with the names of the seven names Muramatsu, Hayada, Arashi, Fuji, Ide, Kirishima, and Moroboshi on the vertical axis and "morning", "daytime", "night", and "before going to bed" on the horizontal axis. The shape.
The daily dosing calendar-101 is used jointly by a plurality of users, and for example, drugs taken by seven users in a day are contained according to the name of the user and the timing of administration.
For example, on the morning of the day, seven people, Muramatsu, Hayada, Arashi, Fuji, Ide, Kirishima, and Moroboshi, will take the medicines contained in their respective "morning" medicine compartments. After lunch, the seven people mentioned above will take the medicines contained in their respective "lunch" medicine compartments.
The daily dosing calendar-101 for multiple users is used in long-term care facilities and hospitals. In the daily dosing calendar-101, the number of users as one unit is arbitrary, and may be 5 or 10.

第三の形式は、図１３の様な複数の服用者を対象とする服用時点別投薬カレンダ−１０２である。
具体的には、上部に大きく「朝用」という様に服用のタイミングが記され、本郷、一文字、・・・・東條、佐野の２８名の名前が並べられている。
服用時点別投薬カレンダ−１０２は、複数の服用者が共同で使用するものであり、介護施設や病院で使用される。例えば２８人の服用者それぞれが、一日の特定時期に服用する薬剤が、服用者名別に収容される。
例えば、当日の朝には、カレンダーに名前のある２８名が、それぞれの名前が付された薬剤収容部に収容された薬剤を服用する。
全員が服用を終えると、服用時点別投薬カレンダ−１０２を外し、昼用の服用時点別投薬カレンダ−１０２を用意する。
服用時点別投薬カレンダ−１０２において、何名の服用者を一単位とするかは任意であり、１０名であっても３０名であってもよい。 The third form is a time-of-dose dosing calendar-102 for a plurality of users as shown in FIG.
Specifically, the timing of taking the drug is marked on the upper part, such as "for morning", and the names of 28 people, Hongo, Ichimonji, ... Tojo, and Sano, are lined up.
The dosing calendar-102 for each time of administration is used jointly by a plurality of users, and is used in nursing care facilities and hospitals. For example, the drug to be taken by each of the 28 users at a specific time of the day is contained according to the name of the user.
For example, on the morning of the day, 28 people with names on the calendar will take the medicines contained in the medicine storage compartments with their respective names.
When all the members have finished taking the drug, the time-of-dose dosing calendar-102 is removed, and the time-of-dose dosing calendar-102 for daytime is prepared.
In the dosing calendar-102 according to the time of administration, the number of users as one unit is arbitrary, and may be 10 or 30.

前記した様に投薬カレンダー１００，１０１，１０２には複数の形式のものがある。
例えば 特許文献１に開示された投薬カレンダーは、服用者の自宅や介護施設に設置されるものであり、訪問薬局の薬剤師が服用者の自宅や介護施設を巡回訪問して薬剤収容部に薬剤を補充する。
また薬剤師が自己の薬局（調剤室）で投薬カレンダー１００，１０１，１０２の薬剤配置部に薬剤を収容し、薬剤が収容された状態の投薬カレンダー１００，１０１，１０２を服用者の自宅や介護施設に持ち込む場合であれば、薬剤師は投薬カレンダー１００，１０１，１０２の形式の沿って各薬剤配置部に所定の薬剤を入れてゆく。
しかしながら、前記した様に投薬カレンダー１００，１０１，１０２には複数の形式のものがあるので、まぎらわしく、作業は慎重を要する。
そのため薬局においては、投薬カレンダー１００，１０１，１０２の各薬剤配置部に所定の薬剤を入れる作業が大きな負担となっている。 As described above, the medication calendars 100, 101, and 102 have a plurality of formats.
For example, the dosing calendar disclosed in Patent Document 1 is installed at the home of the user or a long-term care facility, and a pharmacist at a visiting pharmacy visits the home or the long-term care facility of the user and delivers the drug to the drug storage section. refill.
In addition, the pharmacist stores the drug in the drug placement section of the medication calendars 100, 101, 102 at his own pharmacy (dispensing room), and the medication calendar 100, 101, 102 in the state where the drug is stored is used in the home or care facility of the user. In the case of bringing it to the pharmacist, the pharmacist puts a predetermined drug into each drug placement unit according to the format of the medication calendars 100, 101, 102.
However, as described above, the medication calendars 100, 101, and 102 have a plurality of formats, which is confusing and requires careful work.
Therefore, in a pharmacy, the work of putting a predetermined drug into each drug arrangement section of the medication calendars 100, 101, and 102 is a heavy burden.

訪問薬局の薬剤師が服用者の自宅や介護施設を巡回訪問し、服用者の自宅等で薬剤収容部に薬剤を補充する場合についても同様である。この場合は、予め薬局内で薬剤を仕分けておき、その状態で服用者の自宅等に持参することとなるが、薬剤の仕分け作業は面倒であり、間違いやすい。 The same applies to the case where a pharmacist at a visiting pharmacy patrols the user's home or nursing care facility and replenishes the drug storage section at the user's home or the like. In this case, the drugs are sorted in advance in the pharmacy and brought to the user's home or the like in that state, but the sorting work of the drugs is troublesome and easy to make a mistake.

本実施形態では、図５の様に、薬剤包装帯５ａをロール状に巻回し、包装帯保持具１６の挿入芯部材２０に装着する。そして薬剤包装帯５ａの一端を引き込みロール２１に挟み込む。例えば服用者「村松」用の薬剤包装帯５ａの一旦を引き込みロール２１に挟み込む。 In the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 3A, a repetitive drug packaging band 5a in which daily doses are grouped together and arranged in order of timing of administration will be described.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the drug packaging band 5a is wound in a roll shape and attached to the insertion core member 20 of the packaging band holder 16. Then, one end of the drug packaging band 5a is pulled in and sandwiched between the rolls 21. For example, the drug packaging band 5a for the user "Muramatsu" is once pulled in and sandwiched between the rolls 21.

そして所定の開始スイッチを操作することにより、服用者「村松」用の薬剤包装帯５ａが引き込みロール２１に引き込まれ、筐体３の内に入る。また図示しないバーコードリーダで、薬剤包装帯５ａに印刷されたバーコード等を読み込むと、服用者名、包装順序（３ａ，３ｂ）その他の処方箋情報が薬剤仕分け装置２内に読み込まれる。
ここで薬剤仕分け装置２への処方箋情報等の読み込みは、バーコード等から直接読み取ってもよく、他の記憶装置に接続されて間接的に読み取ってもよい。
例えばバーコード等で処方ＩＤ、または処方情報等を読み出し、この情報が自動的に他のサーバーやコンピュータ等に入力され、処方ＩＤに基づいて情報が検索されて薬剤仕分け装置２に読み込まれてもよい。 Then, by operating a predetermined start switch, the drug packaging band 5a for the user "Muramatsu" is pulled into the pull-in roll 21 and enters the housing 3. When the barcode or the like printed on the drug packaging band 5a is read by a barcode reader (not shown), the user name, packaging order (3a, 3b) and other prescription information are read into the drug sorting device 2.
Here, the prescription information or the like may be read into the drug sorting device 2 directly from a barcode or the like, or may be indirectly read by being connected to another storage device.
For example, even if the prescription ID or prescription information is read by a barcode or the like, this information is automatically input to another server or computer, the information is searched based on the prescription ID, and the information is read into the drug sorting device 2. good.

筐体３内に導入された薬剤包装帯５ａは、図５の切り分け工程エリア１０のカッター２２によって薬剤包装７ごとに切り分けられる。
ここで薬剤包装帯５ａの切り分けに先立ち、仮置き箱保管エリア１１から仮置き箱８が取り出され、寸動台２３に設置されている。
そのため薬剤包装７の落下位置には仮置き箱８があり、切り離された薬剤包装７は、一つずつ仮置き箱８に入る。
そして寸動台２３台が少しずつ仮置き箱８を移動させ、薬剤包装７は、仮置き箱８の中で、薬剤包装帯５ａで繋がっていた順番に並ぶ。
本実施形態に従うと、薬剤包装７は、仮置き箱８の中で、薬剤包装帯５ａで繋がっていた順番に並ぶ。
具体的には、朝用、昼用、夜用、寝る前用、朝用、昼用、夜用、・・という様に一日に服用する薬剤包装７が繰り返し状態となって仮置き箱８に並べられる。 The drug packaging band 5a introduced into the housing 3 is separated into each drug packaging 7 by the cutter 22 in the cutting process area 10 of FIG.
Here, prior to the separation of the drug packaging band 5a, the temporary storage box 8 is taken out from the temporary storage box storage area 11 and installed on the sizing table 23.
Therefore, there is a temporary storage box 8 at the drop position of the drug package 7, and the separated drug packages 7 are put into the temporary storage box 8 one by one.
Then, 23 sizing tables gradually move the temporary storage box 8, and the drug packages 7 are arranged in the temporary storage box 8 in the order in which they are connected by the drug packaging band 5a.
According to the present embodiment, the drug packages 7 are arranged in the temporary storage box 8 in the order in which they are connected by the drug packaging band 5a.
Specifically, the drug packaging 7 to be taken in a day such as morning, noon, night, before going to bed, morning, noon, night, etc. is repeated and the temporary storage box 8 Lined up in.

服用者「村松」用の薬剤包装帯５ａを切り終え、一つの薬剤包装帯５ａに繋がっていた全ての薬剤包装７が仮置き箱８の中に納まると、仮置き箱８は、仮置き箱保管エリア１１に移動して所定の位置に収容される。
図示しない制御装置には、仮置き箱保管エリア１１に移動された仮置き箱８が、服用者「村松」用のものであることが記憶される。
また新たな仮置き箱８が、仮置き箱保管エリア１１から取り出され、寸動台２３に設置される。 When the drug packaging band 5a for the user "Muramatsu" has been cut and all the drug packaging 7 connected to one drug packaging band 5a is contained in the temporary storage box 8, the temporary storage box 8 becomes a temporary storage box. It is moved to the storage area 11 and accommodated in a predetermined position.
The control device (not shown) remembers that the temporary storage box 8 moved to the temporary storage box storage area 11 is for the user "Muramatsu".
Further, a new temporary storage box 8 is taken out from the temporary storage box storage area 11 and installed on the sizing table 23.

続いて、他の服用者用の薬剤包装帯５ａが同様の工程によって切り分けられ、一つの薬剤包装帯５ａに繋がっていた全ての薬剤包装７が仮置き箱８の中に納まると、仮置き箱８は、仮置き箱保管エリア１１に移動して所定の位置に収容される。今回、仮置き箱保管エリア１１に移動された仮置き箱８は、例えば服用者「早田」用のものであることが記憶される。
さらにまた新たな仮置き箱８が、仮置き箱保管エリア１１から取り出され、寸動台２３に設置される。 Subsequently, the drug packaging bands 5a for other users are separated by the same process, and when all the drug packages 7 connected to one drug packaging band 5a are housed in the temporary storage box 8, the temporary storage box 8 is used. 8 moves to the temporary storage box storage area 11 and is housed in a predetermined position. It is remembered that the temporary storage box 8 moved to the temporary storage box storage area 11 this time is for, for example, the user "Hayada".
Furthermore, a new temporary storage box 8 is taken out from the temporary storage box storage area 11 and installed on the sizing table 23.

この工程を繰り返すことにより、仮置き箱保管エリア１１内では、図６の様に複数の服用者用の薬剤包装７が収容された仮置き箱８が並ぶ。また制御装置には、各仮置き箱８がいずれの服用者用のものであるのかが区別されている。
なお原則として一つの薬剤包装７内に、一回に服用する薬剤が全て収容されているが、例外的に、同一の薬剤包装７に収容できない場合がある。
例えば漢方薬が処方されている場合には、他の薬剤とは別の包装がなされている場合がある。この様な場合には、図６の服用者「富士」用の様に、薬剤包装７を収容した仮置き箱８とは別の仮置き箱８に漢方薬等を収容する。 By repeating this step, in the temporary storage box storage area 11, as shown in FIG. 6, the temporary storage boxes 8 containing the drug packages 7 for a plurality of users are lined up. Further, the control device distinguishes which user the temporary storage box 8 is for.
As a general rule, all the drugs to be taken at one time are contained in one drug package 7, but there are exceptional cases where they cannot be contained in the same drug package 7.
For example, when a Chinese herbal medicine is prescribed, it may be packaged separately from other medicines. In such a case, the Chinese herbal medicine or the like is stored in a temporary storage box 8 different from the temporary storage box 8 containing the drug packaging 7, as in the case of the user “Fuji” in FIG.

The order of dosing timing is preferably morning, noon, night, and before going to bed, but it may be in the reverse order starting with the one before going to bed.
In addition, a plurality of the daily-dose drug sets may be collected for each specific user to form an individual multi-day-dose drug set, which may be discharged.
With the drug users as the specific conditions, the daily drug sets of multiple users are collected for each day to create a multi-person daily drug set, which is then discharged. There may be.
A group of drug packages for drugs to be taken by a plurality of users according to the timing of administration may be grouped in a predetermined order for each time of administration by a large number of people, and the packages may be discharged.

前記した実施形態は、投薬カレンダ−３０，３１，３２に薬剤包装７を配置することを前提として説明したが、薬剤仕分け装置２で仕分けされた薬剤包装７の配置先は、投薬カレンダ−３０，３１，３２に限定されるものではない。
例えば一日服用薬集合を複数作って排出したり、個人別複数日服用薬集合や、多人数一日服用薬集合、多人数服用時点別集合の形式で仕分けして薬剤包装７を薬剤仕分け装置２から排出し、投薬カレンダ−以外の容器や機器に入れてもよい。
例えば病院の病棟配薬に本発明の薬剤仕分け装置２を使用する場合であれば、仕分けした薬剤包装７を配薬トレイへ入れる。この様に、薬剤仕分け装置２は、病院内における薬剤師や看護師の業務軽減にも寄与する。
この場合は薬剤包装７の投入先は投薬カレンダ−３０，３１，３２ではなく、例えば配薬トレイマスである。また配薬トレイ内に前記したポケット部材（個別容器）３６をセットしてもよい。本実施形態では、薬剤包装７の配置先は、配薬トレイとなる。 Although the above-described embodiment has been described on the premise that the drug package 7 is arranged on the medication calendars -30, 31, 32, the destination of the drug package 7 sorted by the drug sorting device 2 is the medication calendar-30, It is not limited to 31 and 32.
For example, drug packaging 7 is sorted by making and discharging multiple daily drug sets, sorting by individual multi-day drug set, multi-person daily drug set, and multi-person dosing time-of-time group. It may be discharged from the device 2 and placed in a container or device other than the medication calendar.
For example, when the drug sorting device 2 of the present invention is used for drug distribution in a hospital ward, the sorted drug package 7 is placed in a drug distribution tray. In this way, the drug sorting device 2 also contributes to reducing the work of pharmacists and nurses in the hospital.
In this case, the destination of the drug package 7 is not the medication calendars -30, 31, 32, but, for example, the drug distribution tray mass. Further, the pocket member (individual container) 36 described above may be set in the medicine distribution tray. In the present embodiment, the drug packaging 7 is placed in the drug distribution tray.

また薬剤をセットする薬剤セット具には、カレンダー形式の他、ボックス形式のものもある。ボックス形式の薬剤セット具にも本発明を活用することができる。
即ち在宅看護等の現場では、カレンダー形式だけでなく、配薬ボックスと称される薬剤セット具が使用される場合もある。
ここで配薬ボックスは、紙やプラスチック等の安価な材料で作られた箱であり、形状や構造は、病院で使用される配薬トレイと大差ない。
薬剤仕分け装置２に配薬ボックスに薬剤包装７を投入する機能を持たせても良いし、薬剤仕分け装置２から排出された薬剤包装７を配薬ボックスに投入してもよい。 In addition to the calendar type, there are also box type medicine set tools for setting medicines. The present invention can also be applied to a box-type drug setting tool.
That is, in the field of home nursing or the like, not only a calendar format but also a drug setting tool called a drug distribution box may be used.
Here, the medicine distribution box is a box made of an inexpensive material such as paper or plastic, and its shape and structure are not much different from those of the medicine distribution tray used in hospitals.
The drug sorting device 2 may be provided with a function of charging the drug package 7 into the drug distribution box, or the drug package 7 discharged from the drug sorting device 2 may be charged into the drug distribution box.

上記した実施形態では、薬剤包装帯５ａを１包ずつ分離したものを仮置き箱８に一旦、収容した後、ポケット部材３６内に収容すべき薬剤包装７をセットした。しかしながら本発明はこの構成に限定されるものではなく、切り離した薬剤包装７を直接ポケット部材３６内にセットしてもよい。
例えば投薬カレンダーの台紙に予め収容部が一体化されていてもよい。例えばポケット部材３６が取れないカレンダーバックを採用し、ポケット部材３６に薬剤包装７を直接投入してもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the drug packaging bands 5a separated one by one are temporarily stored in the temporary storage box 8, and then the drug packaging 7 to be stored in the pocket member 36 is set. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the separated drug package 7 may be set directly in the pocket member 36.
For example, the accommodating portion may be integrated in advance on the mount of the medication calendar. For example, a calendar bag from which the pocket member 36 cannot be removed may be adopted, and the drug package 7 may be directly put into the pocket member 36.
