  • Patent number: 8407068
    Abstract: A medicine management apparatus includes: a medicine storage which stores a plurality of medicines used at a site of medical care; a storage and retrieval detector which, when a medicine handling personnel manipulates the apparatus to store or retrieve an accommodated medicine to be accommodated in the apparatus, physically detects the target accommodated medicine for which the apparatus is manipulated, differentiating it from the other accommodated medicines; and a counter which counts each type of the plurality of accommodated medicines. An injection prescription receiver receives injection prescription data from an external prescription analyzer. A retrieval determining unit determines whether the accommodated medicine detected as being retrieved is the accommodated medicine directed by the injection prescription data to be retrieved.

  • Patent number: 7917375
    Abstract: A medicine management apparatus 100 includes: a medicine storage 148 which stores a plurality of medicines used at a site of medical care; a storage and retrieval detector 146 which, when a medicine handling personnel manipulates the apparatus to store or retrieve an accommodated medicine to be accommodated in the apparatus, physically detects the target accommodated medicine for which the apparatus is manipulated, differentiating it from the other accommodated medicines; and a counter 150 which counts each type of the plurality of accommodated medicines. An injection prescription receiver 152 receives injection prescription data from an external prescription analyzer 250. A retrieval determining unit 124 determines whether the accommodated medicine detected as being retrieved is the accommodated medicine directed by the injection prescription data to be retrieved.

  • Patent number: 7465225
    Abstract: A clean room unit which is equipped with a work room and a clean bench unit can be independently installed inside a building, can generate an air shower in the work room, and can realize miniaturization and cost reduction. The clean room has a work room, a clean bench unit which has a work opening and has the work opening installed to look onto the work room, an air conditioning system which can perform purification and pressure control of air inside the work room and the clean bench unit and can generate an air shower in the work room, and a control unit. The air conditioning system is controlled by the control unit to switch exclusively between the air shower mode, the ventilation mode, the positively-pressurized work mode, and the negatively-pressurized work mode.
