Also, a magazine containing a plurality of medicament cases for administration of medicaments to a group of people, and a method of administering medications to mass casualties of multiple persons that are in need thereof. The medicaments are rapidly disintegratable and can include a dye that stains the person's mouth so that medical personnel can determine who has been treated with the medicament.

A method for dispensing discrete medicaments with a dispensing device includes the steps of predicting a depletion time in the future when the medicaments in the container of a first feeder unit of the plurality of feeder units will be depleted; providing a notification ahead of said depletion time that a second feeder unit holding medicaments with the same composition as the first feeder unit needs to be presented to the dispensing device, together with a due time for presenting said second feeder unit to the dispensing device; and continuing the dispensing of the medicaments from the first feeder unit at least until the due time.

A medication dispensing system includes an automated dispensing device that includes cells with electronically activated locks. The device is configured to detect when medication counts in the cells fall below predetermined thresholds. The system further includes a plurality of first electronic devices that are associated with some of the cells and that have imagers. In response to any of the medication counts in the cells being below the predetermined threshold, the automated dispensing device is configured to automatically send a replenishment needed notification to the first electronic device associated with the cell. That first electronic device is configured to transmit a picture of a medication to a second electronic device. In response to a positive verification by a user of the second electronic device that the medication in the picture is the correct medication, the second electronic device is configured to transmit an unlock signal to the automated dispensing device.

A medication dispensing device comprising a rotating platform configured for receiving a plurality of medication dispensing containments housing a plurality of pills comprising medication or supplements, and a scanner or user input for identifying the one or more medication containments and receiving data specific to the medication or supplements provided therein, wherein the medication containment has a lower surface with a dispensing opening and pill capture head sized according to at least one dimension of the plurality of pills contained therein, and a medication sweeper disposed above the pill capture head and between the plurality of pills so as to selectively direct is single pill out the dispensing opening while blocking a remainder of the plurality of pills in the containment. A motor-driven first gear is coupled to the pill capture head and medication sweeper such that rotation of the gear affects rotation of the pill capture head with respect to the medication sweeper to dispense the single pill, wherein the motor receives commands from data acquired by the scanner to affect dispensing of the single pill.

A pill bottle storage and organizer device for storing and organizing pill bottles includes a base frame having a plurality of holes. The base frame has a front surface and a back surface. Each hole of the plurality of holes extends into the front surface of the base frame. The plurality of holes holds a respective one of a plurality of pill bottle bodies. Each hole of the plurality of holes enwraps the body of the pill bottle and the cap of the pill bottle is exposed to a user. A numbering on the caps of the pill bottles is on a label. Each number of the numbering on the caps of the pill bottles corresponds to a particular medication.

The present disclosure provides a medicine box, including a housing, a door, a first clamping member, and a second clamping member, a cavity is formed inside the housing, the housing has an opening on a top surface; an end of the door is rotatably connected with one side of the housing at the opening, an end of the first clamping member is connected with the other end of the door, and the other end of the first clamping member includes a first magnetic portion; an end of the second clamping member is connected with the other side of the housing at the opening, and the other end of the second clamping member includes a second magnetic portion; and a clamping area with a changeable size is formed between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion.

Use of improved image acquisition for a medical dose preparation system. The medical dose preparation system may include a work station for capturing medical dose preparation images (e.g., to document preparation of a mediation dose). The medical dose preparation image may be captured by a video data stream processor capable of performing an auto cropping technique on a video data stream received from an image device. Accordingly, memory resources may be more efficiently employed while maintaining high quality medical dose preparation images.

Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.

A pill dispenser includes a housing that surrounds a removable container for holding pills to be dispensed by the pill dispenser. The removable container includes a pill outlet that is accessible by a patient through the housing. In use, the medication only contacts the removable container and the pill outlet, so that when all of the pills within the removable container have been dispensed, the removable container may be removed from the container and safely disposed of before installing a new removable container. This allows the parts of the pill dispenser that have not contacted the medication to be reused.

A medication dispensing apparatus includes a housing for at storing at least one medication in bulk, a dispenser, and a verification sensor. The at least one medication including a plurality of doses of the at least one medication. The dispenser separates a single dose from the at least one medication in bulk. The dispenser moves the single dose of the at least one medication from a position within the housing to a position outside the housing. The verification sensor verifies that the at least one medication is a correct medication.
