An injection prescription receiverreceives injection prescription data from an external prescription analyzer. A retrieval determining unitdetermines whether the accommodated medicine detected as being retrieved is the accommodated medicine directed by the injection prescription data to be retrieved. A retrieval completion notification unittransmits a retrieval completion signal to the prescription analyzer, prompted by the completion of the retrieval of the accommodated medicine directed by the prescription data to be retrieved.
