Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a distribution management system for distributing a specimen collected from a patient's individual in a medical facility to a culture facility, and a medicament obtained by culturing the specimen in the culture facility to a medical facility involved in a regenerative medical process of autologous cells, and generating bar code information of a bar code label used at the time of distribution of the specimen or the medicament. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, a cell collected from a patient's individual is cultured and a medicament is produced, which is transplanted to the patient's individual in autologous cell transplantation, and for the autologous cell transplantation, a cell culture center (hereinafter, referred to as a culture facility) in which the collected cell is professionally cultured is required.

[0003] In the process of autologous cell transplantation, since a storage capacity, a storage temperature, a storage humidity, and the like of a dedicated first container for distributing a cell collected from a patient's individual in a medical facility to a culture facility and a dedicated second container for distributing a medicament obtained by culturing in the culture facility to the medical facility where the patient is located are different, different dedicated containers need to be used.

[0004] In addition, in the conventional medical facility, a patient's name is written for specifying the patient and pathological material. For example, in the case where the pathological material is a biopsy material, the pathological material is collected in an endoscopy room or the like and is transported to a pathology examination room, and thus, in order to manage the pathological material, a patient's name displayed on a container for the pathological material is written in an endoscopy room nursing record or a pathology commission sheet created by the endoscopy room. Or, in the pathology examination room, a patient's name written on the container for the pathological material is written in a pathology material reception record book, a pathology number issuance registration book, or the like.

[0005] As described above, since a patient's name written on the container for the pathological material is written in the endoscopy room nursing record, the pathology commission sheet, the pathology material reception record book, the pathology number issuance registration book, or the like, a patient's mis-pickup or a pathological material mis-pickup accident can occur due to a miswriting.

[0006] In Patent Literature 1, a technology is disclosed for the purpose of providing a container for pathological material capable of reliably managing pathological material collected from a patient, by preventing a patient or pathological material mis-pickup, characterized by having: a container main body that houses a fixing solution that fixes the pathological material collected from the patient; a lid that seals the container main body; and a multi-label that is composed of a plurality of labels, is connected in a separable state, and displays the same container serial number, one of the plurality of labels being attached to the lid and the remaining labels being attached to the container main body.

[0007] In Patent Literature 1, one of the plurality of labels of the same container serial number is attached to the cover, and the remaining labels are attached to the container main body, and a courier who transports the biopsy material collected in an endoscope room transports the pathological material container and the pathological request form from the endoscope room to a pathological examination room for pathological examination. The pathologist of the pathological examination room confirms the presence of the biopsy material in the transported pathological material container, and confirms that the container serial numbers of the label attached to the pathological material container and the label attached to the pathological request form are consistent.

[0013] (1) In Patent Literature 1, the pathologist visually confirms the consistency of the container serial numbers of both the label attached to the pathological material container and the label attached to the pathological request form, and thus the pathologist is burdened with work. However, in the case of applying such a method realized by human visual confirmation to a delivery system of a delivery company that delivers a large number of articles, a problem arises in that the delivery staff of the delivery company is burdened with a large amount of work.

[0014] (2) In Patent Literature 1, it is disclosed that a bar code reader connected to a terminal that constitutes a pathological subsystem is used to read the two-dimensional bar code of the label attached to the pathological material container, and the container serial number is input. However, there is no disclosure of the technology of how the pathological subsystem performs the confirmation process.

[0015] (3) In Patent Literature 1, it is disclosed that the pathological material collected from a patient is housed in a pathological material container, and the technology of transporting the pathological material from an endoscope room in the same medical facility to a pathological examination room.

[0016] However, there is no description of the contents of the delivery of the pathological material container to a delivery company and the housing of the pathological material container in a larger transport container for transportation. Furthermore, there is no disclosure of the misuse of the transport container in which such a pathological material container is housed.

[0017] (4) For example, in the case where the pathological material container is kept at a prescribed temperature, it is necessary to house it in a larger heat-keeping container than the pathological material container, and therefore, in order to obtain the container serial number from the label attached to the pathological material container, it is necessary to temporarily open the heat-keeping container, and there is a problem that the temperature during heat-keeping temporarily rises, and the pathological material container is exposed to a dangerous condition.

[0018] Therefore, there is a demand for a technique that, in a regenerative medical process in which a collection obtained by individually collecting a patient in a medical facility is distributed to a cultivation facility, and a medicament obtained by cultivation of the collection in the cultivation facility is distributed to the medical facility, prevents mis-taking of a plurality of different kinds of distribution articles such as a collection container that houses the collection, a medicament pack that houses the medicament, a distribution container that houses the collection container or the medicament pack, and the like without opening and closing the distribution container, and automates a collation process.

[0019] An embodiment of the present application is made in view of the above, and aims to prevent mis-taking of a plurality of different kinds of distribution articles without opening and closing a distribution container, and automate a collation process, in a regenerative medical process.

[0020] [Technical Solution for Solving Technical Problem]

[0021] To solve the above technical problem, the invention according to technical solution 1 is characterized by having: an article container that houses an article; a distribution container that houses and distributes the article container; a distribution management device that generates barcode image data that respectively specifies the article container and the distribution container; and a barcode form that is printed with a barcode image based on the barcode image data generated by the distribution management device, the barcode form having: a first barcode label that indicates a serial number to which the article is related; a barcode image portion that indicates the serial number to which the article is related; and a second barcode label that indicates a distribution container ID to which the distribution container is related, when an article container to which the first barcode label separated from the barcode form is attached, the distribution container, and the barcode form after the first barcode label is separated arrive at a distribution destination, collation of the article container is performed using the second barcode label attached to the distribution container and the barcode image portion in the distribution destination.
