Was intended to provide a usable drug filling apparatus without performing any special operation such as member exchange Any changes in the size and shape of the vial to be used for filling (challenge) drugs. (Resolution means) Drug loading device has a discharge unit 90 capable of receiving the drug loading means side of the vial prefilled, it is discharged into the bottle discharging window. A bottle gripping means 92 with gripping arm 92a of the grippable pair and 92b the vial, and gripping means body 94 with a bottle gripping means 92, the discharge unit 90, from a drug filling means side bottle gripping means 92 and a re-orientation mechanism 98 that is capable of a moving means 96 for bottle discharging window to move, to change the orientation of the body gripping means 96. In a state oriented in the direction of the direction changing mechanism 98 is operated in conjunction with gripping means body 94 to move toward the bottle discharging window, gripping arms 92a, 92b protrudes toward the outside of the bottle discharging window. [Selection Figure Figure 10(課題)薬剤の充填に使用するバイアル瓶のサイズや形状の変更があっても部材交換や特別な操作等を行うことなく使用可能な薬剤充填装置の提供を目的とした。(解決手段)薬剤充填装置は、薬剤充填済みのバイアル瓶を薬剤充填手段側から受け取り、瓶排出窓に排出させることが可能な排出ユニット90を有する。排出ユニット90は、バイアル瓶を把持可能な一対の把持アーム92a,92bを備えた瓶把持手段92と、瓶把持手段92を備えた把持手段本体94と、瓶把持手段92を薬剤充填手段側から瓶排出窓まで移動させるための移動手段96と、把持手段本体96の向きを変更させることが可能な向き変更機構98とを備えている。把持手段本体94が瓶排出窓に向けて移動するのに連動して向き変更機構98が作動し、把持アーム92a,92bが瓶排出窓の外側に向けて突き出す方向に向いた状態になる。【選択図】図10
