A pharmaceutical management system includes: at least one pharmaceutical storage box to store at least one pharmaceutical having corresponding at least one IC tag attached thereto; a reading device to read information stored in the IC tag, the information representing the pharmaceutical; a controller to obtain the information of the IC tag from the reading device, to manage the pharmaceutical; and a pharmaceutical refrigerator to store the pharmaceutical storage box to refrigerate the pharmaceutical, the controller including a first and second entry/exit monitoring unit to monitor entry/exit of the pharmaceutical into/from the pharmaceutical storage box; and after monitoring by the first entry/exit monitoring unit, a state of entry of the pharmaceutical into the pharmaceutical storage box is determined based on a result of monitoring by the second entry/exit monitoring unit.

Pharmaceutical management system

A pharmaceutical management system includes: an IC tag attached to a pharmaceutical; a pharmaceutical storage box to store the pharmaceutical and read information of the IC tag; a controller to acquire the information of the IC tag from the pharmaceutical storage box and manage the pharmaceutical; and a pharmaceutical refrigerator to store the pharmaceutical storage box to refrigerate the pharmaceutical.

A pharmaceutical storage box to be stored in a pharmaceutical refrigerator so as to be freely movable in and out of the pharmaceutical refrigerator, the pharmaceutical storage box including: a bottom plate on which a pharmaceutical is placed, the pharmaceutical having an attached IC tag; a first side plate having an attached first antenna, the first side plate removably connected to a first end surface of the bottom plate; a second side plate removably connected to a second end surface of the bottom plate; and a back plate removably connected to a third end surface of the bottom plate, wherein the first side plate has a first connection structure connectable to the second end surface, wherein the second side plate has a second connection structure that is connectable to the first end surface.

Pharmaceutical storage box

A pharmaceutical storage box to be stored in a pharmaceutical refrigerator and managed by a controller, the pharmaceutical storage box includes: a storage portion to store a pharmaceutical, the pharmaceutical having an IC tag attached thereto; and an antenna configured to receive information of the IC tag.

A removal head with improved performance in terms of reading pharmaceutical information. The removal head of the present invention comprises a movement path component, a first braking component, and a sensor. The movement path component moves a substantially cylindrical pharmaceutical container that has an identification label and that has been taken out of a pharmaceutical container holding cassette that holds pharmaceutical containers. The first braking component is provided to the end of the movement path component, and stops the pharmaceutical container that has moved along the movement path component at a specific location. The sensor reads the identification label of the pharmaceutical container whose movement has been stopped at a specific location by the braking component. The movement path component has a movement face that moves along the movement path of the pharmaceutical container, and the movement face has a contact component that comes into contact with the pharmaceutical container.
