Drug solution inspection device and drug solution inspection method
View Patent ↗A drug solution inspection device includes a jig that mounts thereon a syringe containing a drug solution, an imaging unit that captures an image of the syringe mounted on the jig, an exposure unit that performs exposure on the syringe mounted on the jig, and a first control unit that controls the imaging unit and the exposure unit to acquire inspection information. In order to inspect an amount of the drug solution in the syringe, the first control unit transmits the captured image of the syringe while changing an exposure state of the exposure unit.
1. A drug solution inspection device for inspecting an amount of a drug solution in a syringe, the device comprising:
a light source that performs exposure on the syringe mounted on a jig having a transmitting portion;
an imager that captures an image of the syringe exposed by the light source through the transmitting portion; and
a controller that controls the imager and the light source to acquire inspection information of the drug solution,
wherein the controller that controls the light source to change an exposure state of the light source based on drug solution color information regarding the drug solution in the syringe.
2. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the transmitting portion is substantially equal to a width of a cylinder of the syringe mounted on the jig.
3. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein a width and a length of the transmitting portion are substantially equal to a width and a length, respectively, of a cylinder of the syringe mounted on the jig.
4. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a transparent member that is arranged in the transmitting portion.
5. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein the light source has a linear band-shaped recess at a center thereof, and
the jig has a linear band-shaped protrusion at a bottom portion of the jig, and the protrusion engages with the recess.
6. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein the jig is one of a plurality of jigs having different transmitting portion widths, the plurality of jigs corresponding to a plurality of syringes having different cylinder widths.
7. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the light source to expose a region including at least a gasket of the syringe.
8. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a safety cabinet in which the imager, the light source, and the jig are arranged.
9. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a display inside the safety cabinet, the display displaying an inspection instruction or an inspection result from an inspector.
10. The drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an identifier that identifies information of a prescription and a type of the drug solution,
wherein the controller changes the exposure state of the light source based on the information of the prescription and the type of the drug solution identified by the identifier and the image of the syringe captured by the imager.
11. A drug solution inspection system comprising:
the drug solution inspection device according to claim 8 ; and
an inspection confirmation device that receives inspection information transmitted from the drug solution inspection device to inspect the inspection information,
wherein the inspection confirmation device is arranged in an inspection room which is different from a workroom in which the safety cabinet is mounted.
12. A drug solution inspection method in which an amount of a drug solution in a syringe is inspected, the method comprising:
inspecting the amount of the drug solution in the syringe using the drug solution inspection device according to claim 1 .
