일반적으로 약제 포장 장치는 약제 보관 유닛에 보관된 약제를 환자의 처방전에 따라 약제 포장지에 1회 복용분 별로 자동으로 포장하는 장치이다.In general, a drug packaging device is a device that automatically packages a drug stored in a drug storage unit in a drug wrapping paper for each dose according to a patient's prescription.
구체적으로, 약제 포장 장치는 병원이나 약국 등에서 의사나 약사의 처방을 시스템을 통해 입력하면, 해당 약제의 불출 및 수집이 자동으로 이루어지고, 수집된 1회 복용분의 약제가 약제 포장지에 각각 분리되어 포장된 후 배출되도록 하는 장치이다.Specifically, when a prescription from a doctor or pharmacist is input through a system in a hospital or pharmacy, the drug packaging device automatically dispenses and collects the drug, and the collected drugs for a single dose are separated into drug wrapping paper. It is a device to be discharged after packaging.
약제 포장 장치는 다양한 약제가 각각 저장된 다수의 약제 보관 유닛이 설치대에 배열 설치되고, 처방에 따라 특정 약제 보관 유닛으로부터 불출된 약제가 통로를 통해 하측으로 불출되며, 불출된 약제는 호퍼에 모이게 되고, 호퍼에 모인 약제는 하측으로 배출되고 약제포장지에 의해 실링되어 포장될 수 있도록 한다.In the drug packaging device, a plurality of drug storage units each storing various drugs are arranged and installed on a mounting table, and drugs dispensed from a specific drug storage unit according to a prescription are discharged downward through a passage, and the dispensed drugs are collected in a hopper, The medicaments collected in the hopper are discharged to the lower side and sealed by the medicament wrapping paper so that they can be packaged.
위와 같은 과정을 통해 환자가 복용해야 하는 약제는 1회 복용분 별로 분리되어 약제 포장지에 포장되어 약포 다발로 조제되게 되며, 약포 다발 단위로 환자에게 전달되게 된다.Through the above process, the medicines to be taken by the patient are separated for each dose, packaged in a medicine wrapping paper, prepared in a bundle of medicine bags, and delivered to the patient in units of a medicine bag bundle.
여기서, 약제 포장 장치를 이용하여 약제를 1회 복용분 별로 조제하게 되면 편리성 및 신속성 등의 측면에서 장점이 있으나, 장치의 오작동이나 기타의 원인으로 인하여 약제가 잘못 포장되는 경우가 발생될 가능성이 항상 존재하여, 현재에는 조제의 정확성을 판단하는 검사 단계를 반드시 거치게 된다.Here, when the drug is prepared for each dose using the drug packaging device, there are advantages in terms of convenience and speed, but there is a possibility that the drug may be incorrectly packaged due to malfunction of the device or other causes It is always present, and now it must go through an inspection step to judge the accuracy of the formulation.
종래의 검사 방법으로는 약사 등의 관리자가 약제 포장 장치에 의해 조제된 약포 다발을 일일이 육안으로 관찰하여 검사를 하였으나, 이 경우 아침, 점심, 저녁별로 상이한 약제가 조제되는 경우에는 육안으로 확인하기 어렵다는 문제가 있다.In the conventional inspection method, a manager such as a pharmacist visually observed and inspected a bundle of medicine packages prepared by a drug packaging device. there is a problem.
이러한 이유로 약포 다발을 구성하는 약포를 개별적으로 촬영한 후 촬영된 영상을 해당 약제에 대한 기준 영상과 자동으로 비교하여 비교된 결과를 기초로 조제의 정확성을 판단하는 검사 장치가 개발되었다.For this reason, a testing device has been developed that individually photographs each drug package constituting the drug package bundle, automatically compares the captured image with a reference image for the drug, and determines the accuracy of preparation based on the comparison result.
그러나, 이러한 검사 장치는 약제 포장지에 포장된 약제가 파손된 경우, 약제가 기립된 상태인 경우 또는 약제가 서로 겹쳐져 있는 경우 등 비정상적인 상황에서는 조제의 정확성을 판단하는데 한계가 존재하였다.However, these inspection devices have limitations in determining the accuracy of dispensing in abnormal situations, such as when a drug packaged in a drug wrapper is damaged, when the drug is in a standing state, or when the drugs are overlapped with each other.
그러므로, 약제 포장 장치에 의해 조제된 약포를 검사하는데 있어서 비정상적인 상황에서도 조제의 정확성을 정확하게 판단할 수 있도록 하는 검사 시스템에 대한 연구 개발이 시급한 실정이다.Therefore, there is an urgent need to research and develop an inspection system capable of accurately determining the accuracy of dispensing even in an abnormal situation in inspecting the medicine package prepared by the medicine packaging device.
본 발명의 목적은 처방전에 기초하여 조제되는 약포에 대해 조제의 정확성을 검사하되, 약포를 구성하는 약제가 비정상적인 상황이라도 정확도 판단에 오류가 없도록 하여 약화사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있도록 하는 약포 검사 시스템을 제공하는 것이다.An object of the present invention is to check the accuracy of dispensing of a drug package dispensed based on a prescription, but to prevent drug accidents in advance by ensuring that there is no error in determining the accuracy even when the drugs constituting the drug package are in an abnormal situation. is to provide
