Abstract: An object of the present invention is to automatically identify a direction, a posture and characteristics such as a shape, a size, a type and an expiration date of a medicine and store the medicine with ensuring a high degree of freedom. A medicine supplying apparatus 1 includes an identifying part and a storing part. A storing area is defined at the time of storing the medicine according to a size of a medicine contained in characteristics of the medicine identified by the identifying part. The medicine is stored in the storing part in a state that identification information of the medicine is associated with the storing area. Further, the medicine supplying apparatus has a determination processing part which can determine whether or not the medicine is a target to be treated based on the characteristics of the medicine identified by the identifying part.

Abstract: The present application provides a co-infusion apparatus and a co-infusion method which can photograph an image suitable for inspecting whether or not a co-infusion process in the co-infusion apparatus is properly carried out.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a coinfusion apparatus capable of automatically performing parts or all of a coinfusion processing. The coinfusion apparatus includes a first robot arm which retains a medical agent container, a second robot arm which performs an operation of inserting a syringe needle of a syringe into a mouth of the medical agent container retained by the first robot arm, and an operation of inserting the syringe needle of the syringe into a coinfusion mouth of a transfusion bag. The coinfusion apparatus further includes a coinfusion processing room which shelters both robot arms and a transfusion bag elevation inclination section, which retains the transfusion bag outside of the coinfusion processing room and positions the coinfusion mouth of the transfusion bag in a coinfusion communication mouth formed in the coinfusion processing room. A trash storage room door is provided in a front surface of the coinfusion apparatus.

Abstract: PROBLEM To provide a co-infusion apparatus and a co-infusion method which can photograph an image suitable for inspecting whether or not a co-infusion process in the co-infusion apparatus is properly carried out. MEANS FOR SOLVING Provided is a co-infusion apparatus for suctioning a medicine from a medicine container 10 with an injector 11 based on preparation data and injecting the medicine from the injector 11 into the medicine container 10.

Abstract: OBJECT There is provided a coinfusion apparatus capable of automatically performing part or all of a coinfusion processing appropriately. MEANS FOR SOLUTION A coinfusion apparatus 1 includes: a first robot arm 21 which retains a medical agent container; a second robot arm 22 which performs an operation of inserting a syringe needle of a syringe into a mouth of the medical agent container retained by the first robot arm 21, and an operation of inserting the syringe needle of the syringe into a coinfusion mouth of a transfusion bag; a coinfusion processing room 104 which shelters the robot arms, etc.; and a transfusion bag elevation inclination section 113 which retains the transfusion bag outside of the coinfusion processing room 104 and positions the coinfusion mouth of the transfusion bag in a coinfusion communication mouth 37 formed in the coinfusion processing room 104. A trash storage room door 13 is provided in a front surface of the coinfusion apparatus 1.

Abstract: A medicine dispensing apparatus which allows a prescribed quantity of medicines to be reliably taken out based on prescription data.

Abstract: A drug dispensing apparatus including a cassette for containing drugs in an aligned state, a rotor disposed at one open end of the cassette, a pushing unit for pushing the drugs toward the rotor, a drive mechanism for pivoting the rotor alternately between a dispensing position and a receiving position by operating a drive switch to dispense the drugs one-by-one, and a measuring unit for measuring the present quantity of the drugs in the cassette. The apparatus also includes a memory unit for storing a stock quantity N0 of the drugs in the cassette. When the rotor is returned to the receiving position from the dispensing position, the present quantity N measured by the measuring unit is compared with the stock quantity N0 stored in the memory unit. If the present quantity N is less than the stock quantity N0, the present quantity N is stored in the memory unit as a stock quantity N0, while if the present quantity N is same as the stock quantity N0, it is informed that the drug has not been taken out.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an elongated object measurement apparatus capable of measuring the length or quantity of elongated objects such as drugs arranged in a row, regardless of their size or type. One end of the elongated object is positioned with a first reference member and the other end thereof is positioned with a second reference member. The apparatus comprises a resistance circuit constituted by a plurality of resistors connected in series, wherein the resistor at one end is connected to a constant voltage source and the resistor at the other end is connected to the ground, a detection circuit comprising a plurality of switches disposed with uniform spacing along the elongated object and having one end thereof connected between the adjacent resistors and the other end thereof connected to a detection terminal, and a switch drive unit provided at the second reference member and turning the switches on.

Abstract: In the present invention, in order to provide a medicine dispensing apparatus which allows a prescribed quantity of medicines to be reliably taken out based on prescription data, there are included a plurality of cassettes 3 which contain medicines in alignment, pressing means 24 for pressing medicines in the cassette 3 toward one end side, dispensing means 23 disposed at one end portion of the cassette and having a holding recess portion 26 for holding a medicine, driving means 51 for rotating the dispensing means 23 to a receiving position at which the medicine in the cassette 3 can be received in the holding recess portion 26 and to a taking out position at which the medicine held in the holding recess portion 26 can be taken out, display means 19 for displaying a cassette 3 containing medicines required to be dispensed among the cassettes, a driving switch 15 for rotating the dispensing means 23, and control means 100 for rotating the dispensing means 23 from the receiving position to the taking out posit
