Pill sorting device and method of use thereof

摘要

A pill sorting apparatus is provided and includes a system for retrieving pills from a container and then dispensing those retrieved pills to a bin where they can be administered to a patient by a healthcare professional. The pill sorter includes a sorting mechanism that prevents excess pills from being delivered to the bin marked for patient delivery and instead, an automated system directs the excess pills to a bin where the pills are collected for return to the pill source.
