Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9715494A1] The proposed method is used for the automated filling of pharmaceutical multichamber packages for clinical studies. The multichamber packages consist of a plurality of individual chambers, e.g. in the form of blisters, arranged in one plane. The products to be packaged are fed from a storage container (1) by a conveyer device (2) into a mobile feed duct (3); the free end of the feed duct (3) is guided to the desired chamber by a robot arm (5) capable of swinging parallel to the plane of the individual chambers, and the product introduced into the chambers, the individual steps being controlled by a computer (6). The robot arm (5) has one or more freely programmable axles of movement, allowing the products to be conveyed to and introduced into the predetermined chambers in the plane in accordance with a freely selectable program which can be stored in the computer (7).
