Embodiment approach
[0147] An exemplary embodiment of this deterrent is illustrated in the case of an inpatient (eg, hospital or clinic, etc.) provisioned delivery of sublingual sleeping pills. In this case, the dispensing device includes wireless proximity detection, such as RFID or a detector for a wireless network, to detect when the dispensing device is removed from a predetermined proximity of a person, object or physical location. When it detects that the dispensing device has been removed from or near the intended location, the dispensing device shuts down normal functions, sounds an audible alarm, sends a wireless alert to a remote device or network, and triggers an internal release of liquid into the tablet cartridge to wet all tablets and / or deactivate all tablets, thereby rendering them ineffective.
[0148] In another exemplary embodiment, the dispensing device of the present invention is used to deliver a sublingual hypnotic dosage form in an outpatient (eg, home, office, etc.) When...
Embodiment 1
[0298] The physician decides that the patient requires acute pain management therapy. The pharmacist loads the cartridge containing the dosage form of the drug at the desired strength into the dispensing device. Each cartridge contains two colored placebo dosage forms as the first two dosage forms dispensed. The device comprises means for loading the cartridge which is an exit, hatch or door which is secure and inaccessible to unauthorized use. Once the pharmacist has loaded the cartridge into the device, he locks the outlet, hatch or door of the device. The pharmacist then uses the docking connector to first dock the dispensing device to the docking device connected to the computer and program the device. Programming includes uploading dose strengths of dosage forms, number of dosage forms loaded in the device, predetermined frequency of dosage forms to be used, number of dosage forms used per day, current date and time, preferred language, used to identify if the device is...
Embodiment 2
[0303] In a hospital setting, where the patient is more directly monitored, access and identification of the provided issuing device is limited to the detection of an RFID key without the need for a fingerprint or PIN. Postoperative or disabled patients can operate the device without unnecessary physical exertion. Alternatively, a nurse or physician in charge may dispense the drug dosage form to the patient. The use of an RFID key prevents the possibility of accidentally or intentionally exchanging devices with other patients.
[0304] The dispensing device is in regular contact with the nurse's station through wired or wireless communication (WI-FI). This will allow healthcare personnel to monitor the usage of the dispensing set and the number of remaining doses. WI-FI communication allows nurses to request dispensing of the device fully at any time to view usage history and status of the device, including battery life, dose used, time the dose was used, dose remaining, etc...
