PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To separate an input operation of the printed information such as a name of a patient, a type and an amount of a medicine or the like from a setting operation of a timing of an administration and a pattern of the administration when a powdered medicine and a tablet indicated in a prescription are packed in a medicine envelope by a medicine packing apparatus to try the rationalization of the input operation by an input means corresponding to the individual operations and a control circuit and the improvement of the efficiency of the processing.SOLUTION: To the medicine packing apparatus which is equipped with a powdered medicine dividing unit 2, a tablet discharging unit 3 and a packing unit 4, a control section (a microcomputer 52) to control driving sections of the above individual units is connected and to the control section, a personal computer 50 to input the printed information such as the name of the patient, the type and the amount of the medicine or the like is connected. The control section is equipped with a pattern setting and inputting display means 55 having an operation panel which arbitrarily sets and operates the administration timing and the administration pattern of each of the powdered medicine and the tablet and a set pattern memory section 56 which stores a control signal corresponding to the set administration pattern.COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI【課題】処方箋で指示される散薬と錠剤を薬剤包装装置で薬袋に包装する際に、患者名、薬種、数量などの印字情報の入力操作と、服用タイミング及びその服用パターンの設定操作とを分離し、それぞれの操作に適合する入力手段と制御回路により入力操作の合理化及び処理の効率化を図る。【解決手段】散薬分割ユニット2と錠剤払出ユニット3、及び包装ユニット4を備えた薬剤包装装置に上記各ユニットの駆動部を制御する制御部(マイクロコンピュータ52)を接続し、さらにこの制御部に患者名、薬種、数量などの印字情報を入力するパーソナルコンピュータ50を接続する。制御部には散薬と錠剤のそれぞれの服用タイミングとその服用パターンを任意に設定操作する操作パネルを有するパターン設定入力表示手段55と、設定された服用パターンに対応する制御信号を記憶する設定パターン記憶部56が設けられている。【選択図】図7
