Abstract: A method of receiving and checking individualized compound doses of medicines the steps of receiving a plurality of dispensed medicines that form an individualized compound dose of medicines, assessing the composition of the individualized compound dose of medicines trough automated recognition of the received medicines, checking the assessed composition of the received individualized compound dose of medicines against a record for the composition of that individualized compound dose of medicines, and if the outcome of the check is positive, discharging the received individualized compound dose of medicines to be packaged in a dose compartment of a multi dose compartment package, and if the outcome of the check is negative, discharging the received individualized compound dose of medicines other than to be packaged in a dose compartment of the multi dose compartment package. The disclosure also includes a device for receiving and checking individualized compound doses of medicines.

Abstract: A string emanating from a packaging machine is arranged in a slot by means of a feed inlet and placed in a winding shaft (12). This placement is assisted by the use of positioning brushes (4). After the initial introduction, winding up takes place upon rotation of the winding shaft and upon further engagement of the string in the slot (14) in the winding shaft. The winding shaft is provided on a carrying disc (5) and said carrying disc is also arranged so as to be rotatable. During the first stage, the section of the string emanating from the supply path is pulled with constant force. After the string has been separated from the remaining material, the winding is carried out. Subsequently, the rotating shaft with the string, through rotation of the carrying disc, reaches a next position in which pressing the reel and thus adhesion of the reel end moves the winding shaft out of the reel. The reel has already been checked prior to entering the winding device to determine whether it has to be inspected.

Abstract: Method and device for inspecting a string of packs. Each of the packs contains drugs, and consumer data such as patient data are provided on the packs. Specific characteristics of the drugs to be scanned are fed into a central processing unit. These characteristics are compared with the drugs present in the actual pack. According to the invention, a graphic image of the pack, the drugs and the patient data is produced and stored. To optimize scanning of a group of drugs spreading is proposed by means of a resilient cam which rotates in a plane essentially parallel with the plane of the carrier. Such cam is mounted in a bush and can move resiliently in said bush at right angles to the plane of the carrier and said bush is caused to rotate. It is possible to provide a number of such constructions adjacent to one another.
