Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015024771A1] The invention relates to an assembly for packaging drug portions in dispensation packs comprising a dispensing machine (1) and a refilling station (10). The dispensing machine (1) comprises: a plurality of storing and metering stations (2), which have a plurality of drug portions; a packaging device, which receives the drug portions dispensed by the storing and metering stations and introduces them into dispensation packs; and a control device (9). Each storing and metering station (2) comprises a stationary part (4), which is fastened to a frame (8), and a removable part (3), which contains a refillable reservoir (5) and which has an information memory (6) for storing an identifier of the removable part. A reading device (7) for reading the information memory is associated with the stationary part (4). Each information memory (6) contains a memory location for a filling code (TS1, TS2). Every time the reservoir (5) has been refilled, the filling code is changed at the refilling station (10) in such a way that the refilling can be detected by the control device (9) when the information memory (6) is read by the reading device (7) after the removable part (3) has been placed back onto the stationary part (4) of the same or a different storing and metering station (2).
