Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical product management technology, and in particular to a drug destination positioning clip. Background Technology

[0002] Dispensing medications in smaller, unpackaged portions for sale and use. In the daily operations of modern medical pharmacies, pharmacists often dispense medications in smaller, unpackaged boxes or bottles according to the prescribed dosage to meet individualized patient needs. This is a common and important service.

[0003] To facilitate medication retrieval, many large hospitals have begun using fully automated tablet dispensing machines and intelligent two-tiered storage cabinets for storing dispensing smaller doses. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221730079U discloses a "Precise Positioning Storage Cabinet for Dispensed Medications," which uses a main control unit in conjunction with storage compartments and indicator devices to enable pharmacists to quickly and accurately locate the medications that need to be added, avoiding group medication errors caused by incorrect dispensing. The double-sided drawer design allows two pharmacists to simultaneously retrieve and replenish medications from both sides of the cabinet without interfering with each other, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, in practice, pharmacists usually need to bring the medications to the dispensing window for dispensing. Because there is no available status indicator for the medications that have been dispensed, it is difficult for subsequent pharmacists to quickly and accurately determine the "status" of the remaining medications when the previous pharmacist has taken them away. For example, it is difficult to determine whether the medications have been used up or whether they are being used for dispensing and have not yet been returned. The lack of transparency can lead to other pharmacists unknowingly re-dispensing unopened medications, resulting in the risk of managing the expiration dates of multiple bottles of medications being dispensed at the same time.
