[0001] The present invention relates to a child safe packaged-product system with multi-operational
access control. The invention further relates to packaged-product system that facilitates
interaction with the user so as to render child safe state of the package after use.
Further, the invention relates to packaged-product system provided with unique identification
information.
Background of the invention
[0002] Products such as medicaments are primarily but not exclusively packaged in blister
packs comprising one or plurality of deformable protrusions formed in a flexible sheet
with a closure for each of the protrusions. An area of concern with regard to blister
packs has been the uncontrolled ease with which products can be dispensed. This becomes
particularly important when blister packs are handled by children and / or physically
challenged. Further, establishing the authenticity and genuineness of a packaged product
before use is essential as counterfeited products when consumed can cause grave harm
to the patients.
[0003] Various attempts to achieve the above objectives are reported in literature.
[0004] Prior art reveals typically three design features on which child resistant packages
are configured. One such design includes enclosure / carrier and package, wherein
the package is removably enclosed in an enclosure having child resistant features.
However in such designs, the package has to be removed from the enclosure for accessing
the product resulting in separation of the package from the enclosure. Another design
involves linkage of the package with the enclosure/ carrier in a manner whrein the
linkage is maintained even while the product is accessed. Yet another design comprises
of a combination package wherein a portion of the package has restricted access zone
while the other portion has a general access zone. Such a design is incapable of providing
child resistant features in its entirety.
[0005] Further, some of these designs suffer from a drawback that in certain orientations
such as vertically placed with the enclosure opening facing downwards, mere operation
of the initial child resistant feature such as depression of a lever can result in
release of the non child resistant blister package with negligible effort.
[0006] United States Patent
7201274 discloses a package having a simultaneous stop, alignment, and enhanced tamper-resistant
feature, wherein the package has an outer sleeve and a slide card slidably disposed
within the outer sleeve. A stop panel is disposed on an inside surface of the outer
sleeve and has an extension panel extending away therefrom, wherein the extension
panel enhances the tamper-resistant nature of the package. A guide panel extends along
a longitudinal edge of the outer sleeve and has a length equal to or greater than
a combined length of the stop panel and extension panel. The guide panel being folded
over the extension panel to defined a channel between an edge of the guide panel and
a score line separating first and second panels of the outer sleeve.
[0007] United States Patent
7325689 discloses a pharmaceutical package assembly that includes a tether having a fold-over
card mating feature, and a fold-over card configured to house one or more pharmaceutical
blisters, wherein the fold-over card includes a tether mating feature. One exemplary
method of coupling the fold-over card to a tether includes forming a tether receiving
recess in the front side of the fold-over card, folding the front side of the fold-over
card adjacent to the back side of the fold-over card so that the tether receiving
recess reveals an exposed portion of the fold-over card front side, and coupling the
tether to the revealed portion of the card front side. Another exemplary method of
coupling a fold-over card to a tether having a front side and a back side includes
forming a fold-over card receiving recess in the tether such that when the front side
of the tether is folded adjacent to the back side of the tether, the fold-over card
receiving recess reveals an exposed portion of the tether, and coupling the fold-over
card to the revealed portion of the tether.
[0008] United States Patent
7188728 discloses a child-resistant senior-friendly blister card packaging that is cheap
and easy to manufacture. The packaging requires a push-peel-push method for opening,
which is cognitively and physically challenging for children and mentally impaired
adults. Yet, competent adults can easily open the package, especially after reading
instructions. More specifically, opening the package requires the user to: 1) Push
through an aperture to create a pull tab; 2) Pull on the pull tab to remove a panel;
and 3) Push the blister to force the contents through the blister's seal. Advantageously,
the present invention is designed such that information such as instructions and product
information can be easily printed directly on the packaging. Moreover, users may also
record information directly on the packaging.
[0009] EP Patent 1685 034 discloses child resistant packaging system and method for making same. It is essentially
a combination pack wherein the same blister pack is provided with free access portion
and child resistant portion wherein access to some medications is restricted. Thus
it is not a completely child resistant package system.
[0010] US Patent 6679381 discloses one hand opening child resistant blister pack container comprising top
and bottom tray preferably connected by a hinge. The top and bottom trays have a tab
extending therefrom. Blister pack is contained in this container.
[0011] The review of the prior art reveals following drawbacks:
✔ Physical dislodgement of the package from the child resistant enclosure while accessing
product from the package thereby enhancing the
✔ possibility of temporarily or permanently separating the package from the child
resistant enclosure
✔ The absence of any provision to alert and or alarm the user to replace with proper
re-positioning of the package in the child resistant enclosure after use
✔ Incapability of providing child resistant features in entirety.
✔ Mere operation of the initial child resistant feature such as depression of a lever
can result in release of the non child resistant blister package with negligible effort.
✔ Lack of dedicated and permanent pairing of the package and the tray leading to the
danger of misuse of the support / tray / enclosure after of the consumption of the
product in the package
✔ Lack of provision to remind user to reposition the package in the child resistant
enclosure after use
✔ Additional openings in the package holding provisions such as tray and lack of single
mould construction because of the child resistant hinging cap
✔ Isolation of the package from the child resistant enclosure while accessing product
from the package resulting in the danger of separation of the package from the child
resistant enclosure
[0012] There is therefore a long-felt need to provide child-safe package systems to ensure
that a child has to perform multiple operations to access the product from the package
without dislodging the product pack from the packaging system, and easily repositioning
the product pack in the packaging system, optionally equipped with user alert / alarm
as a safety provision. Further it is desirable to build into the packaging system
means to uniquely identify the said product package associated with the the packaging
system for diverse applications including anticounterfeiting, pharmaco-vigilence in
clinical trials, enhancing patience compliance, etc.
[0013] The document
US2007/0023317 discloses a child-resistant compact for dispensing product on blister cards.
[0014] The main object of the invention is to provide a child-safe packaged-product system
with multi-operational access control having restrictive means for accession of the
package after completion of the activities related to child resistant features thereby
effectively eliminating the direct involvement of the blister package in activities
related to child resistant features. It is a further object of the invention to provide
a means to remind / alert user of reengaging / repositioning the package in the child-safe
state after use.
[0015] Another object of the invention is to provide a packaged-product system with a dedicated
/ permanent pairing of the package with the child safe carrier / support / tray /
enclosure so as to avoid reuse of the system after consumption of the products from
the package.
[0016] Another object of the invention is to provide a uniquely identifiable package.
[0017] Yet another object of the invention is to provide a means for uniquely identifying
the package to authenticate the same.
[0018] Yet another object of the invention is to provide at least two sets of identification
information on the product package.
[0019] Another object of the invention is to detect and record access of the product package
