Patent

CA 2211724

A closure for pharmaceutical containers and the like, provided with means to record and display the time elapsed since the closure was last removed from the container. The closure, as an aid to memory, is provided with a pressure switch such that when the closure is removed from a container, the record of elapsed time is reset to zero elapsed time. The closure, when replaced on a container, resumes its function of recording elapsed time since the container was last opened. The time record thus provided, greatly reduces the risk of both overmedication and the inadvertent omission of required doses, being generally an aid to memory in the regulation of self-administered pharmaceuticals. Designed to replace existing closures, the closure of the invention ensures that medications will remain in the container of their dispensation, and will thereby, continue to be associated with the information provided thereon.

Cette invention concerne une fermeture pour contenant de produits pharmaceutiques équipée d'un moyen de comptage et d'affichage du temps écoulé depuis l'ouverture antérieure du contenant. La fermeture destinée à servir d'aide-mémoire comporte un manocontact qui remet à zéro le compteur de temps à chaque fois qu'elle est enlevée du contenant. € la remise en place de la fermeture sur le contenant, le compteur se remet en marche pour mesurer le temps jusqu'à la prochaine ouverture du contenant. Ce dispositif réduit considérablement les risques de surdose ainsi que les oublis. Conçu pour se substituer aux fermetures d'origine, l'objet de l'invention permet de conserver les médicaments dans leur contenant d'origine qui porte les indications posologiques appropriées.
