Abstract: A medicine bag printer exhibiting excellent carrying efficiency of a medicine bag in which distributing of the medicine bags for respective patients is facilitated. The medicine bag printer comprises a print unit (8) consisting of removable medicine bag cassettes (22a, 22b) each containing a plurality of medicine bags (14) and feeding the medicine bag (14) one by one, a print section (23) for printing medicine information and a medicine image on the medicine bag (14) being fed from the medicine bag cassette (22a, 22b), and a tray (24) for mounting the printed medicine bag (14) discharged from the print section (23) such that the forward end of the printed medicine bag (14) projects from the tray. The medicine bag printer further comprises a section (40) for grasping the forward end part of the medicine bag (14) mounted on the tray (24) of the print unit (8), and a section (39) for carrying out the medicine bag (14) grasped at the tip end thereof by the grasping section (40).

Abstract: The present invention provides a multi-connected ampoules dispensing apparatus which is compact and have a high operation reliability. The dispensing portion 3 comprises a pair of rotors 8a, 8b each of which has a substantially C shape of cross section and is formed with a cutting edge 10 on one side edge. The rotors 8a, 8b are disposed in a vertical direction with a predetermined distance. The rotors 8a, 8b are synchronized to rotate from a receiving position to a cut-off position and return to the receiving position, whereby in the receiving position the rotors 8a, 8b can receive the first ampoule 4a and then cut off and dispense it. The second ampoule 4b adjacent to the first ampoule 4a is positioned in the waiting position by the positioning member 9 synchronized with the dispensing portion 3.

Abstract: The lifter 3 is moved upward until the storage shelf 2 on which the packaging box 9 that contains the transfusion bottles 13 corresponding to the prescription is stored. Then, the first conveyor mechanism 8 of the storage shelf 2 and the second conveyor mechanism 14 of the lifter 3 are driven to convey the packaging box 9 of the transfusion bottle 13 from the storage shelf 2 to the lifter 3. When the lifter 3 is moved downward to the lowermost position, the second conveyor mechanism 14 of the lifter 3 and the third conveyor mechanism 16 of the receiving table 4 are driven to convey the packaging box 9 of the transfusion bottle 13 from the lifter 3 to the receiving table 4. Subsequently, the grip mechanism 5 is driven to grip the transfusion bottle 13 in the packaging box 9 on the receiving table 4 and convey it to the collection container 20. Then, the transfusion bottle 13 is released above the collection container 20 and contained therein.

Abstract: A printing apparatus for printing medicine bags includes a plurality of cassettes in which different type of medicine bags are contained, the cassettes being vertically spaced, printers for printing predetermined information on the medicine bags, a medicine bag conveying member, and a control unit. The medicine bag conveying member is pivotable at an outlet thereof so that an inlet thereof communicates with any one of the cassettes to convey medicine bags to the printers from the cassettes. The control unit selects any one of the cassettes, causes the medicine bag conveying member to pivot so that the inlet of the medicine bag conveying member is connected to the selected cassette, causes the medicine bag conveying member to convey the medicine bag to a selected printer, and causes the printer to print the predetermined information on the medicine bag.
