  • the receptacles of a transport tray can be filled with different types of medicaments and / or a different number of medicament portions.
  • the desired fillings of the receptacles of the transport tray can differ from each other, ie, for example, according to nominal filling in receptacle 1, three medicament portions of type 1 and in receptacle 2 two portions of medicament 1 and two portions of medicament type 2 are to be filled.
  • DE 10 2011 086 575 A1 discloses an apparatus and method for individual filling of medicaments into blisters.

After each tablet, a picture of the blister is documented by means of a camera. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for filling a transport tray, with which the risk of incorrect filling of recordings of the transport tray is reduced. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a corresponding filling station for a transport tray.

  • a filling pattern corresponding to medicament portions are transferred to the filling pattern to be filled images of the transport tray.
  • the handover can also be automated and / or performed using a tool. Depending on the number of filling patterns and the filling regime one or more handovers can take place. If the transfer is performed by a user, it corresponds to a "normal" filling or filling by hand.
  • an image of at least the images to be filled in accordance with the desired filling is created by means of an optical detection device and the actual filling, the quantity and quality of the filled medicament portions is determined based on the image and compared with the desired filling.

  • a filling pattern is virtually a filling step, the subsequent transfer according to method step c) a transfer step, wherein both steps are repeated until all recordings are filled according to target filling.
  • only one type of drug per filling pattern is filled. This reduces the likelihood that errors will occur in the compilation of the desired filling. For example, it is conceivable to provide the user with only one type of drug to be filled in according to the filling pattern. Possibly. can be provided exactly as many drug portions, as must be passed in the recordings, so that a user already recognizes when passing a possible incorrect filling.
  • Pharmaceutical portions include, and that steps b) and c) are repeated until the desired filling of all images to be filled is achieved.
  • the medicament portions according to nominal filling are thus filled sequential shots. Unlike the previous embodiment, therefore, different types of drugs are not sequentially filled, but a recording is completely filled before moving on to the next.
  • a corresponding embodiment may be advantageous depending on the type of display of a filling pattern; since only a fill pattern for a shot is displayed and edited, the likelihood of misfire is reduced.
  • the filling regime may also provide that only one single portion of medication per filling pattern is filled into a receptacle, i. that in this case the number of filling patterns corresponds to the total number of medicament portions.
  • a filling pattern is displayed by displaying and processing a plurality of partial filling patterns.
  • a filling pattern is therefore subdivided into a plurality of sub-patterns, wherein these different images and / or different types of drugs can be assigned.
  • the partial fill patterns are easier to work with Likelihood of errors when transferring or filling the images decreases.
  • portions of medicament are transferred to the receptacles of the transport tray. This can for example be done manually by a user.
  • the desired filling is compiled directly in these recordings, in accordance with the filling regime or the filling pattern (s).
  • the target filling is assembled sequentially with regard to the various types of drugs, it may be advantageous to make the transfer to the recordings of the transport tray with the interposition of a temporary recording.
  • This handover tray provides a variety of other embodiments that reduce the likelihood of miss filling, facilitate documentation of the fill operation, and simplify the display of a fill pattern and make it more user-friendly. In other words, the interposition of the transfer tray greatly increases the flexibility of the method.
  • the actual filling of the shots of the transport tray is checked before release, and only when all shots are filled according to target filling, the release takes place.
  • an error target deviation
  • the actual filling must be checked and supplemented or corrected by the corresponding medication portions, whereby the supplement to be supplemented is determined by comparing the actual filling with the nominal filling.
  • This can be time-consuming, especially with complex nominal fillings.
  • this has the disadvantage that in the event that a wrong drug is present in a recording, if necessary, all drug portions a shot must be discarded (because allergic reactions may be feared).
  • the final actual filling not only the final actual filling, but also the "temporary" actual fillings are determined according to the current filling pattern and compared with the current filling pattern. In this way, one can immediately detect an error, a "entrainment” of the error until the alleged achievement of the desired filling is avoided.
  • This embodiment can be particularly effectively combined with the interposition of the transfer tray, especially when the filling patterns are generated depending on the type of drug. For each fill pattern / fill step, only one drug type of a drug type is included in a receptacle of the delivery tray, so it is particularly easy to identify a potential error.

  • the transfer tray In the event of an incorrect filling of the transfer tray, the user is asked to correct them and only then should the medication portions be transferred to the receipts of the transport tray. In order to avoid that a transfer can be initiated even in the presence of an error (a filling deviation), it is provided in a preferred embodiment that, if no filling deviation is determined, the transfer of the drug portions of the transfer tray in the transport tray is released; otherwise the transfer will not be released.
  • the "release" can be done for example by a light signal.
  • the transfer tray will regularly include a locking device that allows a transfer of the drug portions only when released.
  • the transfer can also take place automatically after the release, for which purpose the closing device is then designed accordingly, for example, is coupled to a corresponding drive or has such a drive.

  • several diodes can be provided per recording.
  • small displays can be installed in the trays.
  • fill patterns be displayed by projecting fill patterns onto the transport tray or the transfer tray. This can be done for example with a laser or any other display device.
  • This type of display of the filling patterns has the advantage that the user does not have to constantly look back and forth between the display and recording, further, there are no costs for additional display means in the recordings.
  • a projection device is necessary, but this can be used for all to be filled transport trays. In addition, this can also interact easily with transfer trays.
  • images generated by the optical detection device are stored to determine the actual filling according to the filling pattern and / or the actual filling according to the desired filling.
  • an image of at least the recordings to be filled in accordance with the desired filling is produced after all medicament portions have been distributed to the recordings.
  • the actual filling of the recordings is thus determined only when all filling patterns, which were created and displayed based on the filling regime and the target filling, have been processed. This has the consequence that a faulty filling in, for example, the first filling pattern is not directly recognized, but remains unrecognized until the alleged completion of the desired filling.
  • a filling pattern corresponding drug portions have been transferred to the fillings to be filled according to filling images
