摘要:
A method and apparatus for dispensing objects from automated storage and retrieval systems such as medications is disclosed which may also include a singulator to assure singulation (retrieval of singular objects). The singulator may be an imaging system to confirm and/or identify the objects being dispensed and/or a variable orifice dynamically adjustable to a specific object or pill size, and through which only a single object or pill is allowed to pass. The system may further include a flexible probe so as to reduce the size of the system where the movement of the probe relative to or while retrieving objects is accomplished by advancing/retracting a flexible tube. The method and apparatus may further include an imaging system.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for monitoring the filling of a medication dispenser (100) that comprises a first and a second container (101, 102) for receiving a strip (103, 104) of medication packages (105, 105', 106, 106'). In the method a taking time of the first medication package (106') of the second strip (104) inserted into the second container (102) is compared with a taking time of the last medication package (105') of the first strip (103) inserted into the first container (101), in order to determine if the delivery of medication packages can be continued after the first strip (103) with the second strip (104). The invention also relates to a medication dispenser (100).
摘要:
A method for identifying medical diverters includes identifying users having similar job functions. Use data indicative of user access to a medication dispensing system is retrieved and is analyzed to identify periods of use of the system for users. Boundaries of work shifts are determined and users are organized into work shifts based on periods of use. A comparison period is determined. Diversion data indicative of behavior associated with diversion for each user is identified. A diversion score indicative of a likelihood that a user is diverting medication is generated by averaging the data by shifts worked for each user and statistically comparing the averaged data. Diversion scores are combined for a medication type to generate a group score. A consistency factor is determined and an overall score is generated. A determination whether any overall scores exceed an overall threshold is made. Users whose score exceeds the threshold are flagged.

“The invention relates to a method for dispensing drugs and/or vitamins to dispensing units, in which method one or more dispensing units are placed onto a drug dispensing tray. In the method according to the invention, the drugs and/or vitamins are dispensed into the dispensing units by a robot having an arm or a corresponding movable means, whose tip is equipped with a dispensing device for feeding drugs and/or vitamins in relation to it, the robot moving the dispensing device in relation to the drug dispensing tray for dispensing drugs into the dispensing units. The invention also relates to an apparatus for dispensing drugs and/or vitamins into dispensing units.”
摘要:
Provided is an apparatus, system, and method for stabilizing battery voltage of a battery device while optimizing power delivered to a receiver during communication of a broadcast packet. A logic circuit is configured to receive a broadcast packet having a predetermined number of bits for communication by a controller to a receiver located remotely from the controller, determine a number of cycles in which a sampled battery voltage is either greater than or less than or equal to a nominal battery voltage over a first subset of the predetermined number of bits of the broadcast packet and performs either a tune-up or a tune-down procedure based on the number of cycles counted in which the sampled battery voltage is not equal to the nominal battery voltage for more than one half of a total number of cycles counted.
摘要:
Therapeutic/diagnostic device comprising: at least a means (1) containing at least a drug or the like; a drug identification device (2), of RFID type, comprising a memory (102), means for reading and writing said memory and transmitting and receiving means (202) and which identification device (2) being univocally associated to a means (1) containing at least a drug; information about said drug being stored in said memory (102); at least an operating unit (3) for using said drug and said said operating unit comprising receiving and transmitting means (103) intended for communicating with receiving and transmitting means (202) of the drug identification device (2) for retrieving information within the memory (102) of said drug identification device (2). According to the invention the memory (102) of the identification device (2) has at least a protocol for administrating and dispensing the drug that is automatically retrieved by an operating unit (3) using the drug, which operating unit comprises one or more tools (303) intended to carry out predetermined tasks on, with or in the presence of said drug and means (403) controlling said tools using the administration and dispensing protocol as a driver controlling at least some of said tools (303).
摘要:
A system and method for tracking medical articles located in a container includes a hybrid isolated magnetic dipole (“IMD”) probe that provides an activating EM energy RF field having a magnetic near field at least as great as the electric near field, both of which cover the entire interior of the container. The probe comprises a main element having capacitive coupling across at least one slot and spacing above a ground plane to thereby form an isolated electric field and an equally strong or stronger magnetic field that fills the interior of the container to activate RFID tags therein. A dual system is provided for larger containers. A dynamic impedance tuning system controls the probe impedance for increased efficiency in transferring power to the interior of the container. Beam steering is provided with the IMD probe.
摘要:
A system includes a smartphone contained within a medication adherence case, the medication adherence case including a repository and a hinged access door to the repository, a wireless network linking the smartphone to a content data network (CDN), the CDN including a medication adherence server, and an application residing in the smartphone that sends data to a medical adherence process in the medical adherence server upon receiving a signal generated from a communication device residing in the hinged access door that indicates the hinged access door has been opened.
