1. A hearing aid comprising a casing and a battery with a battery access door in the casing wherein:
the door is hingedly connected to the casing to allow a pivotal motion between the battery door and the casing,
a flexible locking latch and a protrusion is arranged where the locking latch has a proximal end and a distal end,
the distal end of the flexible locking latch is arranged to flex along a path between the battery door and the casing in order to release the battery door when an opening force is applied to the door,
an arrest pin is insertable in the flexing path of the distal part of the flexible locking latch to block the movement of the latch when a child-resistent battery enclosure is desired.
2. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 1, wherein the arrest pin is turnable around its axis for placement in different angular positions, and has a part placed eccentrically with respect to the axis, whereby a first angular position places the eccentric part in the moving path of the locking latch and blocks the movement of the latch and where a second angular position places the eccentric part outside the moving path of the latch.
3. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 1, wherein the proximal part of the flexible latch is connected to the battery door, and the distal part is spaced apart from the battery door such that the moving path of the latch is defined by the space between the battery door and the distal part of the latch.
4. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 3, wherein the arrest pin is insertable in the moving path of the latch member through a hole in the battery door, whereby the hole defines a bearing for the turning motion of the pin.
5. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 4, wherein the arrest pin comprises a head portion which is visible from the outside and whereby the head of the pin has a colour marking for indicating whether the hearing aid is a left ear or a right ear hearing aid.
6. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 5, wherein the arrest pin comprises a cylindrical main body shaped with the head portion at one end and with the eccentric part at the opposite end thereof.
7. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 6, wherein the eccentric part comprise a beam with two ends and arranged to extend perpendicular to the centre axis of the arrest pin.
8. A hearing aid which comprises:
a casing which defines a back wall and an opening to a battery compartment formed in part by said back wall, and
a battery door which is pivotally connected at one end to said casing to cover or uncover said opening and includes means for supporting a battery,
a flexible locking latch which can lock said battery door in a position covering said opening, or when flexed along a flex path between the battery door and the casing by an opening force applied to the battery door, will pivot relative to said casing to uncover said opening, and
an arrest pin which is mounted on said battery door and extends into said flex path to block flexing of said locking latch and prevent pivoting of said battery door relative to said casing.
9. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 8, wherein said casing includes a hinge pin around which said battery cover can rotate.
10. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 8, wherein said means for supporting a battery comprise two opposed curved arms, and wherein said flexible locking latch is connected at a proximal end to one of said curved arms.
11. The hearing aid as claimed in claim 10, wherein said back wall defines a first projection which extends into said battery compartment and a distal end of said flexible locking latch can abut said first projection.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A prescription creation software system implemented on a computer comprising a program embodied on a computer-readable medium, the system being for use by a prescriber to create an electronic prescription prescribing a drug treatment for a patient condition exhibited by a patient at a point of care, the patient having a drugs benefit provider, the drugs benefit provider issuing a prescription benefit plan including a drug formulary for the patient listing at least one drug preferred by the drugs benefit provider for treatment of the condition, the electronic prescription comprising a patient identifier, at least one prescribed drug and at least one drug quantifier for the prescribed drug and being usable by a pharmacist to dispense the prescribed drug or drugs, the prescription creation system providing:
(a) a prescription creation screen display, permitting prescriber-operable data capture including:
i. patient-identifying data;
ii. prescribed drug identification data;
iii. drug quantification data;
iv. information regarding prescribability of a drug pursuant to formulary guidelines, the information being formulary-qualified according to the patient condition; and
(b) a library of prescribable drug data accessible from the prescription creation screen to display multiple prescribable drugs; and
(c) drug formulary information identifying at least one of multiple drugs as a patient’s drug formulary preferences for selection by the prescriber of a benefit plan recommended drug; by which the patient’s drug formulary preference is presented to the prescriber prior to completion of the prescription.
2. The prescription creation system according to claim 1 wherein the drugs in the drug list are classified into groups according to patient conditions for which the drugs have efficacy and the prescription creation system further comprises a patient-condition specification procedure for selecting the condition from groups of possible conditions and an onscreen drug selection procedure for selecting the prescribed drug from the library.
3. The prescription creation system according to claim 2 wherein the patient drug formulary data comprises a condition-driven formulary drug list, and a condition-driven nonformulary drug list, the drug lists being changeable according to the patient selected to identify drugs in the selected patient’s drug formulary.
4. The system according to claim 1 wherein the prescription creation software system further comprises capturing patient condition data regarding the patient condition exhibited by the patient wherein the electronic prescription further comprises the patient condition data; and classifies the patient’s drug formulary preference to indicate at least one drug preferred for treatment of the patient’s exhibited condition.
5. A prescription creation software system implemented on a computer comprising a program embodied on a computer-readable medium, the system being for use by a prescriber to create an electronic prescription prescribing a drug to treat a condition exhibited by a patient at a point-of-care, the electronic prescription comprising a patient identifier, at least one prescribed drug and at least one drug quantifier for the prescribed drug and being usable by a pharmacist to dispense the prescribed drug or drugs, the prescription creation system providing:
a) a prescription creation screen display, permitting prescriber-operable data capture of information including:
i) patient-identifying data;
ii) prescribed drug identification data;
iii) drug quantification data;
iv) a patient condition data capture device for capturing patient condition data regarding the patient condition exhibited by the patient wherein the electronic prescription further comprises the patient condition data; and
b) a library of prescribable drug data accessible from the prescription creation screen to display multiple prescribable drugs wherein said prescribable drugs are associated with a patient condition; and
c) a prescription output screen device to output a completed prescription;
d) drug formulary information identifying at least one of multiple drugs as a patient’s drug formulary preferences for selection by the prescriber of a benefit plan recommended drug; by which the patient’s drug formulary preference is presented to the prescriber prior to completion of the prescription;
wherein the completed prescription includes the patient condition and identification and quantification data regarding a drug prescribed by the prescriber user for treatment of the patient condition, the patient condition and drug data being captured into the prescription.
